Can you love someone without being his/her friend? This is not as simple as it seems to be......

for me, i guess you can love someone without being his or her friend. for love is not only based on friendship but to many factors as well. one may love someone simply because of her/his looks or because of her/his character. But a good relationship (they say) starts with good friendships...

you cannot tell you love a person without knowing his/her personality.... probably attraction is more like it.

I believe that but it should be first friendship maturing into love.Love is friendship and friendship means sharing. It is all about this sharing which define how strong is the tie of love between two couple or lovers.

anyone can come first!!!!! either friendship and then love a lot later.. But if love comes first then it normally either ends up as a fast affair or it can happen that its love at first sight and then it develops into the best love relationship and friendship that is everlasting it depends on what you want from life and if you are ready for a longterm love-frienship..

I think you can't love someone without being his/her friend. Friendship is love, complicity, mutual trust, intimacy. How can we think to love anyone if we don't feel a feeling of frieds for him/her? Besides, friendship MUST be mutual: it takes AT LEAST two persons to be friends. Unrequited friendship can't exist, it would be truly senseless. Love, instead, can be unrequited: it's directed towards a particolar person, and to love someone we don't need he/she loves us back.

This is truly a Topic that is not answered easily. True love is selfless and requires nothing in return. I can only speak of my personal experience. I never believed in love at first sight, till it happened to me. I saw this person as they were going by in front of my home. (in the back of a large dump truck and only saw from the shoulders up) But we made eye contact and for me it was love. I later (2 days) found it was the same for the other person. I did not know the other person and was not friends but did love them deeply. This person came to my home a couple of Days later in search of the love we both felt. At the time we did not even speak the same language. But we worked on our friendship that grew into a romantic relationship in time that lasted for several years. We did grow in different directions in our life and ended the romantic portion. But the love has not diminished at all for either of us. Our friendship has grown thin over the years, but the love is still there for us both. In my opinion love is of itself. So I do believe you can love with out being friends.
