How do i create a Friendship model? Please guide me.

You would need to provide more detail to get much help. The tutorial covers how to make models:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

 

  
    I have implemented Follower and Following model for my project. 
Take a look a the this follower/followee relationship :

    
class Follow(models.Model):
          """ Model to represent Following relationships """
    follower = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='following')
          followee = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='followers')
          created = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
          
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _('Following Relationship')
              verbose_name_plural = _('Following Relationships')
            unique_together = ('follower', 'followee')
          def __unicode__(self):
            return "User %s follows %s" % (self.follower, self.followee)
          def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
              # Ensure users can't be friends with themselves
        if self.follower == self.followee:
                  raise ValidationError("Users cannot follow themselves.")
            super(Follow, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
      


If you hook this model to admin.py , you can add or remove followers to particular user.
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] .
