John Deacon's nauseating lyrics aside, a mate is....
- someone you are braying with laughter with, 2 minutes after meeting, despite not seeing them for six months,
- someone who has your best interests at heart,
- someone who challenges you intellectually,
- someone you can have a philosophical row with, without either of you taking it remotely personally,
- someone who strokes your ego....and punctures your pomposity
- someone who makes you feel good about yourself,
- someone who guesses all your secrets...but makes you confess them anyway,
- someone you trust with those secrets,
- someone you can share the good stuff, the sad stuff, the scary stuff and the scandalous stuff,
- someone who fancies you just enough to remind you that you are sexy
- someone I'm glad I know

Oh, so what Z said.
Also, it's worth watching out for when some of these things no longer apply ... :(
