Friendly, affable (8)
I believe the answer is:
sociable
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'friendly' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)
'affable' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for sociable that I've seen before include "Companionable, friendly" , "Friendly - gregarious" , "Fond of mixing with others" , "Friendly and pleasant" , "Fond of others' company" .)
