now u are friends,after u start realising that ur friends qualities are good enough for u and then the feeling towards her or him changes .at times u may fight it off if only one side feels attracted.if u make ur intentions clear and both parties are willing,then i personally think it is agreat blessing to have afriend for a relationship cause u understand eachother perfectly.due to the earlier friendship,u can overcome so many hardships and u will enjoy life together for there is an element of friendship.

Hi mwanje. Yes it is right. The element is tight. But i think they may get bored if they are always together. What do you think? will it break the relationship? can you explain? thanks for responding anyway. :)

There comes a time when our feelings will be involved with the relationships to our friends. This is difficult because what will be compromised is the friendship or closeness, I have experienced this one. It would be better that if ever, when both parties decided to move on a new level, the friendship will still be there no matter what happens. But in reality, this is the hardest thing to happen.

yes i think it is the hardest thing. In my opinion, Friendship is still better but in the other sidw we need love too. It is really relative. I am still confused because of them. i hope this will help. thanks anyway. :)

I personally have enjoyed friendship with my lover for over 43 years, so it is possible to have both. He is the person I've told everything to without reservation or editing of a situation. But then, he's pretty special and I'm not sure there are many like him out there.

It's possible, but friendship is more important. Sometimes, a relationship is not possible, however much you may want it or sometimes, it is better to have a friend, whom you love very much, than attempt to enter into a relationship that you know would end up breaking up that friendship. After all, there's nothing wrong with loving your friends on the level you would love someone in a relationship - it just means they are a darn good friend. With relationships though, I often hear people talk about their best friend or their friends, almost as though they don't consider their partner their "friend" or "best friend", which is pretty strange. In a relationship, you should be good friends, otherwise it's surely doomed to fail! There's nothing wrong with entering a relationship when you're good friends with someone, it just depends on who it is and whether you think it's right/workable. Sometimes loving a friend as much as you'd love someone in a relationship is perfectly fine, but you know them well enough to know that a relationship wouldn't work with them.

Doesn't love come from friendship? Before you become lovers, you have to be friends first, correct? I don't think there are any people that from the first moment you get to know, you two become lovers. Relationship evolves from friendship - that is not something anyone can control. It is not like, "I want us to be friends forever, I don't want you to be my lover". No one can make a decision like that with the brain. It is something controls by the heart. Before you know it, you are already in love. So there is no way really for anyone to choose if they want a friend or a lover.

yes i agree. We can not force ourself to not love someone. love is natural. it can happen anytime, wherever. But i hope it will not happen to my friend. thanks anyway.

A relationship build from friendship is one of the best relationship that usually last. However, most of us are not willing to take the risk... Yes it is actually a great risk because if the relationship did not workout it ends up to breaking each others heart and even the friendship also is also gone. Well, if you ask me if I am willing to take the risk? Yes and I already took it and we've been together for more than 9 years and counting... :D

A lot of relationships first start as being friends. Those that last the longest are usually because they were first friends and then lovers. Those who become lovers first, usually their relationship is based solely on their bodies and not on their minds and personality. SO yes, it is possible.

I didn't try that yet, my relationships so far weren't that complicated. But I had some friends dating and when they kind of broke up it was a little weird for the rest of us :P

This is well. Friends understand much to each other. They know both the bad things and the strong things of partner, so, they can know how to understand and forgive to each other.

My husband now was my best friend then. We hesitated for a long time to have a romantic relationship as we both thought it wasn't a good idea to become lovers when we're already having such great relationship as friends. But we can't hold back love, we can't pretend not to care for each other more than friends, so we ended up dating and then finally got married. Is it possible? Definitely, as i am the living proof!

Yes this is possible because we understand our friends feelings but not every friend can make our lover so friendship is different part. But if your friend is telling you about love and you are also feel such for him/her then it may be possible.

yes exactly. if we love each other, then why not? i am just afraid that it will break the friendship. Relationship is volatile, it can break whenever. I do not wanna get it.

Yes it is possible, friendship is important but your feelings to each other is more important, how can you continue your friendship if both you want more than that. So its better to have your relationship and at the same time you still have your friendship...

Of course it is possible that your friend becomes your lover, but it really depends on you as to what relationship are you going to prioritize, is it your friendship or being more than that? If you value your friendship more than the other then stick to it, do not try to risk the relationship that you too build up because in the end you might lose each other for the wrong decision that you made.

Yes i think so. But i think Friendship gives more eternity than relationship. Once we break the relationship, it seemed hard to recover. I wish to have more friend than more relationship. lol. Thank You anyway. :)

I married my best friend, and my husband and I have been through difficult periods and going through one now, but our love will get us through it and I have no worries that we will never divorce, although circumstances have come between us. Our friendship has bonded our love, as we have always been there for each other. Just do not let people come between you, and the love and friendship you feel now will only grow stronger.
