      acquaintance is such a complicated word. the dictionary says a person one knows slightly, but not as a close [friend]
      that definition does not even begin to explain what an acquaintance is.
      and acquaintance can be the example given by the dictionary. it can also be a person that you will not accept friendship from. it can be someone that you know almost everything about, yet you deny [friendship] of the said person. it can be a friend who you dont see that much, or dont feel close to. to be an acquaintance means much more than to not be friends. acquaintance can not really be defined in a few words, its just that type of thing that takes a laid out explanation rather than a definition. an acquaintance can range from anywhere between love and hate, and that doesnt mean it cant be either of the two. it could even be both at the same time.
      an acquaintance can be many things
      and i could go on and on about it, but i feel like i should stop here

      and let you [ponder]

        A person known vaguely, like someone you worked on a [science project] with once, and never really spoke to again. Maybe you have some [mutual friends], but you wouldnt really go out and hang out with that person on your own. Someone who you say hi to in [the halls] at school, or maybe say hello when you see each other in public. In the simplest definition, someone you know well enough to say hi to, but arent exactly friends with.

          Somebody you say hi to [on a daily basis] but don’t associate with in [depth]. Or somebody you might slightly dispise but you still keep on [good terms] with.

            When two people know each other through a [mutual friend] but do not have their own [exclusive friendship].
            Friendship may be [facebook official], but one friend wishes that he had never accepted that friend request and is too honorable of a man to block the other.
