The difference between love and friendship is the level of commitment, sacrifice and preservation of personal space allowed. The difference between love and friendship ids that love transcends all material space while friendship, even though capable of being transcendent has some minor limitations or differences. However, love can exist in a friendship.

yes love is more strong than friendship. but also friendship is important in our lives. and yes many friends fall in love. actually all guys i loved they were always my friends first just then i loved them^^ also friends we can have many but love is just one. that person we cant live without. live without a love is worst than live without a friend at least for me i feel this way. love is what makes the world exists^^

I have heard lot of people started relationship as a friend ends up with love. So i would like to know the difference between these two. Is it acceptable being a friend for certain period and then become lover afterwords? Does it not amount to injuring friendship? At the same time, one cannot love a person with out having friendship. Then, what would the intention is cunning or wolf in sheep skin? Because he hid his true motive. whatever he did was to cheat the other person? Explain please. I am confused...

Friendship is an inalienable part of love and also happens to be an unavoidable path to love. In essence, there is no love when friendship is lost or omitted. I can therefore safely submit that, friendship is an intricate part of love since it is a matter of compulsion to first experience friendship in a relationship before it transforms to love.
