I really found this question very hard to answer "what is more better a friend's love or a lover's love??" a friend told me that a friend's love is much better than a lover cause a lover may leave but a friend will stay, a lover could demand but a friend would help...do you agree with this???

I agree with your friend. A lover's love can easily diminish or become estranged. A friend will always be there for you. They will support you even when they do not agree with you. They are there to advice you, cry with you and to share their life with you in the good times and bad. I have had a good friend for almost 20 years now and in this time we have had many relationships but always have been friends.

Yes i would completely agree with that. I am single and i don't mind it at all because i have lots of friends to whom i can share my love with and they also share their love with me. I believe that friendship is more important than lover's because it's true what you said. Hard to get any much love and trust from boyfriends or girlfriends but it's much easier for us to get some good friends once in a while. And also lover may not always be there for you but a friend will always be there no matter what. Cheers!

No, I don't agree cause it is two different kind of love. You love your friend because he's a friend. You love your lover because he is your lover. A friend can be lover and that could be good, a lover can be a friend ,too and that's fantastic. You don't have to compare each cause you either have one and lose the other. Why not take loving them separately?

For sure is lover's love. A friend can understand you and can be near you when you need it, can make you days better. But a lover can makes you whole life better and can be there for you every single second from your life.

You cannot compare a lover's love to a friend's love for you because they have different level of love. there are things that your lover can make you happy that your friend cannot give and vice versa. but the only thing i knew and you might agree is that your bestfriend, no matter how rough the roads must be, he will always be there to lend a hand. though both of them are willing to accept you for what you are, still there are things that you can share only with your bestfriend and just the same with your lover. they are two unique individuals with different qualification and qualities. they are incomparable with each other. they have their own role to play in your life. and both of them are important to you. love them both without hesitation. enjoy each others company.

Hi That is really a very difficult question to answer because both the loves are different from each other and hence difficult to compare. But a true friend's love can certainly have more selflessness in it as compared to a possessive lover's love.

What is more intense? A lover's love is different because it may include a friend's love. Am I right? However we have to take a look at every choice. A friend's love for instance. There are true friend who are willing to do everything for a friend(thats me. hehehe) but it depends. You have to show the same to him (well assuming that there is no hidden feelings between) to make the it mutual. I dont think a friend's love can stay longer if its not mutual. If Im a friend, I wont care about anybody if he doesnt care about me. Simple. However in the case of a lover's love, it is stronger. There are cases that even if love is no longer existent in one of the lovers the other will still love regardless if he doesnt get anything out of it. Sometimes he would chase the other because of the love that he has for her.

The lover's love cause we actually end up living with the man/woman of our lives, but all love is really important. Maybe it's just different, but I think we care more for those we live together, have a family...it's really hard to hear stories of friends living together...although that could be an option, could be fun! Being single forever...

I think that I would go for the lover's love since the person who loves you the most can be your best friend for life. I think that if you decide to settle with someone and start a family, you entrust everything to him and so he knows every thing about and you and you about him. If you really trust the person then I see no reason for you not to get along. I think that people who separates from an intimate relationship are not really lovers.

It would really depend. My question is, is s/he a TRUE lover and/or is s/he a TRUE friend? For me I would say BOTH. Because a friend's love is far different from a lover. A friend expresses a brotherly or sisterly love called PHILIA while a lover (who will soon be your lifetime partner) expresses the EROS love. Again, I would say that both forms of love are better! =)

a lover is not a lover if he/she is not a good friend.......... hence, a lover's love is more better
