I use Tastypie to do these Operations [1]. Friendship would be represented with a similar model , but since Friendship is bilateral (ie: you would need a way to add a model manager). What I mean to say , the Social Relation Model like above will hold your relations. Apart from this you would need a way to send friend request , and when user approves to request then only this model will be saved. I think following code will be helpful for you [2] .
