Love = Friendship???

hi there, kumaresan.. welcome to myLot.. that's actually a good question.. i do believe that the foundation of any good, solid, long-lasting relationship is friendship in love.. i'm in quite a good relationship as of this writing and though i've already let go of the possibility that my friend and i would be romantically involved with each other, i love him nonetheless.. each day, i'm learning to love him as i would love my brothers, wanting the best for them, giving them enough liberty to learn on their own and make their own mistakes, and just be there for them, unconditionally, not judging them when they do make mistakes.. i do pray, though, that even when i'm gray and old, our friendship will remain steadfast.. i really, really love my most special friend.. :)

I think love can START with friendship or at first sight. Notice I say start because I believe when you see someone for the first time you cant really love them until you get to know them. What you see for the first time is usually their physical attributes but that can be the start of the relationship and ultimately love. A better way to start love is to start with friendship getting to know the persons from a perspective of friend first and then move on .You are more likely to see the real persons at that point .They are not likely to put on a show for a friend but sometimes will for a courtship. Consequently the key is really getting to know each other .You may see someone for the first time and you end up liking and even loving them. Alternatively you may see someone you think you like at first sight and when you get to know them you dont like them again. Similarly you may be friends with someone and never get to love them intimately and then you may start out as friends and it blossoms into love .Get to know the person ,there is no formula that will work for all

Love begins in many different ways. Some begins in friendship...some begins in courtship...Some even love at first sight..some starts as admiration...I think mine with my husband started in love at first sight when we first met. We met and liked each other right away and found ways to be together even if there are many obstacles around. Until we ended up getting married. We have 5 kids now. And together for 16 years.

Well love can start from many angles and many circumstances. Love can indeed start from friendship too but it does not only start from there it can just be plain at first sight or many other stories. I am pretty sure you will hear many stories of love that came from nowhere and ended from love.

Mostly the both the words are more relevant relationship between each other.. Love can be with any one around you, it may be your father,mother,brother,sister, grandma,grandpa even with your friends.. In the recent days, you have have a friendship with the all the above people, because in most of the family, the family members are having the relationship as a friendship only. IF you have a friendship with some one, you can able to share everything, without hide anything.. but if you have any relationship between them, you cannot discuss 100% of your feelings, this is the mineute difference between the love and friendship.. We can have a love and also friendship with our son and daughter also.. because the culture gets changed now a days, the Dad and Son went out for lots of reasons, and mom and daughter went out and if they found a handsome guys, they used to have a talk about them each other.. This may be the very amicable culture.. Keep posting and enjoy myloting.
