It sounds like you want something like a secondary model to which
you can attach such attributes:
class Person(Model):
pass
class FriendshipType(Model):
# "colleague", "roommate", "teacher", etc
pass
class Friendship(Model):
person = Person()
friend = Person()
description = ForeignKey(FriendshipType)
known_since = DateTimeField()
to which you can do things like
my_friends = Friendship.objects.filter(
person=request.User).select_related()
for friendship in my_friends:
do_something('I have known my %s %s since %s' % (
friendship.description,
friendship.friend,
friendship.known_since,
))
in your view.
