Facebook: what is the difference between friends and mutual friends?

In your friend list, the people who are there are your friends.

In your friends' friend list, the people who are there are their friends. But some of them are marked as mutual friends, which means that guy/girl is in your friend list too. (As well as your friend's list)

The friendship is "mutual".

Mutual friends are friends of your current friends, but not yet yours.

[Asker]

oh, I just do friends its easier.

Whoops sorry, I tried to rush it and screwed it up.

A mutual friend is a friend of you and of another person. If a lot of your friends are friends with someone you are not, Facebook will recommend them to you by claiming that you two have similar interests in friends. It's very complicated and stupid.

Well I don't have a Facebook but, I think friends are people who you have sent a friend request to and, they accept. Vice versa

Mutual friends are people you may know or, people who you and, your friends both have as a friend.

[Asker]

that's true

Friends - your friends.
Mutual friends - friends you and some person have in common.

Common sense.

Mutual friend means he/she is your friend as well as of your friend's friend.
