Me and my boyfriend started of as friends and eventually became best of friends. And now, we became lovers. Although we have some ups and downs in our relationship but I just think relationship should start with like it. I have seen relationships break up because they started at wrong foot. I say relationship is a gradual thing. You cant rush on relationship. Do you agree with me?

Hi, friend first let me, say that relationship is a gradual process, it require patience and persevance, and to your question no,cause relationship is sometime u can't rush in, if u rush into relationship, the same way u will rush out of it, i will rather advice u to study your friend, first know what he like and what he dislike and secondly relationship is the school of no end, so one need to be careful when dealing with such situation.

Friendship indeed is the best way to start a relationship. It has no clear expectations, you just enjoy ones company and there's nothing more romantic than to realize that you love your best friend. But it is also dangerous too. Most friendships break because of love. You are quite lucky that both felt the same way at the same time, there are those who forever tarnished their friendship because one of them fell and the other didn't. Similarly, it's also a huge heartache if the relationship doesn't work out well. You not only lose your lover, you would also lose someone you truly cherish as you best friend.

Well you're very lucky that you and your best friend have fallen in love. Hey thats the case with me too. And let me tell you with a 1.5 years of experience, you'll quarrel a lot on small things, you may have fights and stuff. But the bottom line will be that you two will love each other more than any other couple would. You know when you are in love with your best friend, you beforehand know what they want, what they like and what they expect from you or anyone. Everyone says that two lovers have to be serious all the time only shouldering responsibilities and stuff like that but if you love your best friend, you'll have lots of fun in all those boring but compulsory things written above. Well nothing more to say. I Feel very happy when i hear about love. Hope you too. Have a gr8 day. Happy mylotting...

Me and my boyfriend did the same thing.... We were friends... then we became best friends... now.... we have been together for 4 years. I love him more everyday. Sure... we fight... we have disagreements, but we still love each other very much. I wrote a discussion about one of our fights the other night... "Why are men so pig headed?" I love him and he had hurt my feelings... go read it. LOL! I was pretty upset.... But later that night he apologized to me and I to him and we worked it out. I think relationships that are based in friendship to begin with are stronger because they have a stronger foundation. You know a little more about each other and you know at least a few of the other's quirks.... You are a little more accepting of each other and that is what relationships should be about... acceptance and understanding... and compromise.

I think i agree with you cause the girl i once loved ,i never knew her never talkd to her in total i did not knew her well.But if she had been a friend of mine i would have knew her feelings thats what friends are all about,. Sometimes its good to be lovers when u are already friends but sometimes its not ive been in love only once so i dont know about both of the possibilities.
