3. Avoid questions
An opportunist friend always wants to know much about you but will tell you nothing about him/her. They will avoid at all cost those questions to the extent of avoiding you but will reappear again and start to ask you everything about your previous and present life that you didn't answer before. Always wants to know each and every detail.
