Being happy means to have/having a lot of friends? #1 (permalink) Tue Jul 14, 2009 16:48 pm   Being happy means to have/having a lot of friends?		  
Hi,

my question is what is the form of a verb following the verb "mean". For example, which of the following is correct:

Being happy means having a lot of friends.
or
Being happy means to have a lot of friends?

Also, can I say this:
To be happy means to have a lot of friends.
Thanks in advance!
Raf
