Having been in both positions. (really is there a person who has NEVER asked another persons opinion about someone??? really????)
I like Gemma's approach - both in giving and receiving.
I've had my best friend have an all out feud with someone and yet I befriended that person despite that.
I'll listen to what you have to say - and then I'll use MY brain to see what I think. But I do appreciate being warned that XYZ enjoys smoking pot... because I have issues with that and would probably wonder why a friend failed to mention that fact to me if they knew my issues with the subject matter.
