How do you draw a line between friendship and love?

Dear Deepak, I feel, certain thing in life cannot be defined and certain relationships remain unexplained aswell. its very hard to define love between opposite genders, no one knows when he/she is falling for someone. It just happens, just as we eat, sleep, think. You can love your family and sisters - this is also love but when the love we are talking about happens we will get know by the eagerness and willingness to meet, to talk to be caressed. This is a beautiful feeling and is unsurpassable. Only you two will know that it's happening. and yes, one immediate feelings is that of jealousy and possessiveness and that of mising her/ him all the time. Jealousy is the immediate gesture and you would not be able to stand her even talking about other males. if this is happening in your life, then you just have had it! By the way, are you in love, deepak??

My friends and I always have a strong realtionship with each other,, we tend to be there at their sides in times of trouble and if ever they need somebody to cheer them up.. We cry at eaach others shoulder and laugh at each others jokes.. This closeness or bonding we have has a tendency to become deep and finally fall for each other.. I have nothing against it for I know the best relationships starts witha strong foundation of friendship.. I am speaking based on experience.. I have fallen for my bestfriend and I proposed to her with a lot of risks involve.. This risks consists of being rejected by her and the friendship we've once got would be stained forever.. But fortunately she had the same feelings with me so we are now together as lovers..It's really a fairy tale story..(=

I do not think that we have to draw a line between friendship and love. i know that there is a very thin line between those two, and usually it is the line, that we humans draw. I really think that we should do or act like we feel, and let everything flaw and be natural. i know that i usually love most of the people that are called my friends. And that i never drew a line, and did find two of my most important relationships with two of my best friends, and that was natural and beautiful. There are things that we should just let be.

Hi friend, Actually I never had still the chance to experienced that kind of feeling through my friends. Maybe because I have few male friends and most of them has a family of their own. I really don't know how the feeling is and how it may happened.

Hi Deepak Well I don't know how to draw line between friendship and love .. Friendship was changed into love automatically in my case I never knew that my best friend will become my boyfriend in no time. My feelings towards him were changing .. and I can feel that it's happening .. even I found his feeling towards me were also changing .. We started caring about each other more than before. Slowly slowly we started realising that we both are in love with each other .. and really don't know how exactly it happened.

I had an experience once with someone who was very close to me. We were best friends and did everything together. He was alot younger than me, but we got along so good. We were both single, but not together, everyone always thought we were together, but hiding it, and always said we made a great couple. One night we got in an argument over something stupid, and I knew things were changing between us, because we both stopped dating other people, and strictly hung out together alone all the time, and he even moved in with me. This one argument made us realize there was more going on. He got mad I started crying and the next thing I knew he had me pinned up against the wall kissing me. It was the most amazing night, one thing led to another and before we knew it we woke up together in an awkward way. We were together for about 4 months and we went our separate ways. In order to have a relationship you have to be friends first above all else. But, it's hard to know if it's going in other directions, unless you talk to the person and see what is going on.

Hi dpk, I don't have any personal experience of any such kind of friendship that later on changed into love. But as a nature, I can say that when friendship is between two boys or two girls , it is different case , but when friendship is between a boy and a girl and if they meet each other every day and share and spend lot of time together, there is a lot of chance that they may fall in love. That is why in India they usually say" ake ladka aur ake ladki kabhi dost nahi hote....". But today things have changed. Today's generation do have their limitations between love and friendship. In fact today all limitations are almost crossed........lol, so I think it is easy for them to now choose who can be friend and who can be lover.

Well if you feel that there's an intimacy then for sure it would more on friendship... for sure

friendship turns in to love,Love includes physical attraction too. As well as it have equal participation of emotional behaviour, trust, care, affection and sacrifice for each other.

This is something which we cannot measure, nor are there any parameters for measurements. I feel that freindship comes first and that may lead to love. We cannot distinguish between the two in the sense that, when friendships becomes something special it turns into love...when a freind starts meaning more to you than just a friend, he or she slowly turns into your lover, and we can feel that change going on within us. We start feeling a special bonding with the person, which wasn't there earlier , when we were simple friends.

friends could be real good lovers, thats for sure. friendship is the strongest foundation for real relationships. i definitely can't give an exact reason on how to differentiate these two. a thin line separates them, but for me, you'll know that this ones just for friends only... and you'll feel whom to love!

for such things , you cant determine something like a line. Feelings , emotions , thoughts and so on have the property to be very unlikely to be catched into categories. I think there is no reason to do so too. the only reason why you would do such a thing is to convince ureself you are not falling in love , mostly in some situation where you are not 'allowed' to fall in love. Now , when you are asking yourself that question , just realise its already too late:) love is just a thing that happens , and as i think , it will fade away eventually too:)

drawing a line between friendship and love, i think we shoul have our own idea maybe ,most of us can not do it but i think i will pay more attention to my friends if it constact with my lover
