According to the friendship model developed by Bill Rawlins, any friendship has 6 stages, determined by communication and intimacy.

The nascent stage of friendship, according to Bill Rawlins, is the 4th stage of friendship, where there is a stronger communication between both people. At this stage, both people have fully opened themselves to one another and their correspondence becomes more informal.

After this comes, with the 5th Stage which called 'Stablized friendship' where both people trust one another completely and no longer have to meet all the time, just to ensure that the bond remains.
