for me its very important to be friends with someone special before becoming sweetheart. my very reason is that romance will come to a point that it will fade. when this time come, friendship will be there to strengthen the relationship. when you are friends with you lover, you share same interests and the essence of companionship is there. you needed that especially when you are already old.

I dont think you have to have a friendship first but io definatly think it helps. my partner & i have been together for 4 yrs & were good friends for 4 years before that i think it has really helped our relationship we have a better understanding of each other & a true bond with each other

Being friends first is a bonus, and it gives you a solid foundation to build on. However, relationships CAN succeed that started out romantically - you just have to make sure to nurture the friendship aspect of the relationship. It's very important that you not only love your partner romantically, but also as a friend - because there are times your partner will need you to be a friend and not a lover.
