What do you think of friendship and love?

I have a friend of mine since in my childhood and we are so close to each other. I shared many things to her and we join in some games together with my other friends. We are also classmates in elementary and in high school we separated. She enrolled in other school. In my case, I enrolled in a school just near to my place. Still we have our communication but not the same as before. I can observe that we talk things on a serious matter and no longer children would usually do. There are so many changes on both of us most especially in the age of puberty. We never did things we usually did before such as climbing trees and running in the plaza. Until such time came that I told her what I feel towards her and she too have the same feeling as mine. Then, it end up in a more deeper relationship- we become lovers. I think that friendship is a big asset to know someone who can trust and talk to. What do you think of friendship?

Friendship = Door to love. Here is where you get to see who that person really is, and gives you a hint of what you will be in the future. Your case is good, since you've known each other for years and that already helped in building up the trust for both of you. I'm also with someone right now who used to be a very close friend of mine and so far we're not having problems. We know when someone is lying, or when we have problems, and we can easily open up with each other.

Congratulations too! We are on the same situation. I hope that it will be forever no matter the challenges. We know that in life there are lots of unexpected events to test us. My only wish for the moment is that despite those trials the relation must still remain.

I also think friendship is door to love. I think people whom we love can be good friends in our life.

Hey, you are lucky! According to my experience it is easier to make a serious relationship especially if both have known each other since childhood. That comfort feeling must be growing deeper in heart. It is harder if you have best friend or want to start a serious relationship from friendship if you both have become adult, because both mind and heart have been filled with many things (when we were child it was very simple so it was easier for love to take place). But then again, it's not impossible though. I hope you can continue to the marriage step, my friend.

I hope that it will be the case as you wish because in life there is also uncertainty that lies ahead of us. The only certain thing that I am certain is change. Sometimes problems would shake the ground of how strong we are and how much do we love each other. Have you experience a moment in your life that you do not want to happen in a relationship are actually the moments that would be happen?

Haven't happened to me but im sure that a previous friendship can help a lot in a relationship because you knew the true feelings of that person and how they feel love.

In friendship, there are no break-ups and cool-offs. My idea before was to build first a good friendship before pursuing a romantic relationship. However, me and my boyfriend now became friends for only 10 months then we decided to dwell into a deeper relationship. It's been us for 2 years now and I'm happy to be with him. I would still prefer for a strong friendship though.

i agree. i believe that best lovers come from best of friends but of course considering many things. i believe that all things have purpose and in your case, i think that being the both of you as best friends for how many years is just a way or bridge for your friendship to bloom into something much deeper. but of course to work things out properly, dont forget to still keep your friendship even though your more than friends.

I think friendship and love is the one person with different two names.. friendship means when somebody helps you and always be with you in your bad and good time.. and always helped you then it is called friendship.. and when you have some feelings for someone in your heart.. and you always thinks about your someone special.. then i think it is love.. so it is one person with 2 different names.. what you say..

I would agree to you that friendship is a big asset.. And i would prefer it too, to become lovers after good friends. I do have that kind of relationship until we got married.. It's better for us ending up that way because we already have known each other since childhood. hope you end up that way too

Some of the most wonderful relationships; are the one's that the two people are still friends, as well as lovers. Being friends with your partner can make the relationship so great, co'z you know everything and no need adjustment in your part

for me frienship gives some advice for your problems that you've share to them, and cares for you. while love, that's what we feel when we are in love, to care a person whom you love.

You are on lucky guy. Its so nice to hear stories like that. yeah for me it would be really nice to know first the person like be friends with her to get to know her more.. sometimes people only look at the person's good side or when she is at her best. As they say you love the person not just during her best but also during her worst. In the end you will truly understand her and love her the way she is.. as for my case i keep falling for someone far away... it so hard when you love this person yet you can't be with her... your lucky dude and i'm happy for you :) keep it up!

Friendship is blessed one. But some people doesn't keep friendship. I have so many friends but some few friends are maintained friendship. But my opinion is friends can always be friends. Friendship is a precious one pls maintained it.

Actually friendship must be the first step before getting into serious relationship. Because if you are close to each other then you have already seen the whole thing especially on how you accept the person despite of his/her flaws.

Hello, nice to meet you. I am in your situation too, I have a really close friend, we share many thing together, and I also send her moree than 10.000 messegers unttl now.I don't know what should I do, go for the deeper relationship or just keep our close relationship as best friend. Do you think I should go to the deeper level to her, We known each other for 5 years, and we have a lot of good memory until now.
