Study reveals number of hours it takes to make a friend: roughly 50 hours of time together for casual friends, 90 hours to go from that stage to simple "friend" status & more than 200 hours before you can consider someone your close friendhttp://phy.so/441533233
Surprisingly high numbers. It usually only takes three 90-minute lunches to promote a departmental colleague to 'casual friend' status, IMHO.

Yeah, but you’d need to know your colleagues for at least 15 years before you’d consider going for lunch with them (or is that just the UK...?)

I think you have to invite them to lunch within the first month you're in a new department, or you have to wait the 15 years ....

If you spend enough time with a person to consider them a colleague, would not that time “count”?

I meant 'colleague' just in the sense of working in the same academic department...
