Types of Friendships
Not every friendship that you enter will be the same, there are reciprocity, receptivity, and even association friendships.
Reciprocity is characterized by loyalty, self-sacrifice, mutual affection, and generosity. Equality is big in these relationships. 
Receptivity is a relationship where there is an imbalance in giving and receiving. One person in the relationship is the primary giver and another is the primary receiver.
I would be in a receptivity relationship between me and my teacher.
Association friendships are those that are transitory. It is more of a friendly relationship rather than a true friendship. They are most likely the relationships found online.
A friends-with-benefits relationship is one in which people engage in sexual behaviors without having romantic involvement. The relationship can offer freedom from commitment. It can also be known as a hook-up.
Stages of Friendships

Friendships are interdependent relationships. The closer the people are the more likely this will evolve. The actions of one person will greatly affect the other person.
Friendships are mutually productive. It is not possible to maintain a healthy relationship when people are destructive.
Friendships are characterized by mutual positive regard. We must like someone if we are going to be calling them friends. Trust, emotional support, and sharing of interests facilitate mutual positive regard.
