Why do we sometimes fall in love with our closest friends? Some say its because of familiarity and you already know each other well. According to some University Research that friends became lovers because of proximity. The closer you are with each other the greater chance of communication and that starts from there.

There's nothing to hide and there's no need to try and impress. You really get to know someone when they are a close friend. My partner and I are still going stong at 12 years after being best friends and work colleagues for 3 years. It is the longest and best relationship I've had and we are now a family with two little boys. I really believe it is better when friends turn into lovers than trying to find your true love at the local pub or nightclub - oh, those days are well and truly over for us ;-)

Yes what you said be correct that closest friends who were friends may become lovers as one's mentality is known to others so that there may be no clashes occur between them as both of them know them perfectly. so, there is no doubt in my opinion that 99% of the closest friends become lovers

Most of the times, best lovers comes from best friends. I think it is true.

Hey...! I accept your point. Its really true. Communication plays a vital role in turing the friendship relation to love. The more in touch with our friend, the more we learn about him. ITs jus like reading a book interedtingly. When you feel that you are interested in reading a particular book, I am sure that you will be reading it fully till the climax. Similarly in the case of friendship and love, you will like to know the climax of friendship, which is nothing but love. Love love andkeep on loving...! Live to be loved by all...!

I agree we you. It happened to me. I had a very close friend before who later turned to be my lover. At first, our relationaship was great. We had special moments. I expected it to become stronger but the distance betwen us was one of the reasons why our love affair put to an end. Whats lacking with our relationship?

Because friends know the real you and they are more comfortable to talk with, to laugh with and to live with. Friends know when the times to be happy and sad would always be beside you to care and to give advices. It is not hard to fall in love with friend as love develop start in friendship when both feel the same things it blossom into the real love.

familiarity and proximity are the reasons but not the most important one. I think the key reason is trust. Lover relationship can't be build without trust. Friends and we trust each other. we feel confortable when being with friend. Then the relationship is likely to go further and come to lover.

My girlfriend was best friends with her husband for over 10 years when they got together , they were married for 5 years and from what I gather they had a wonderful relationship and would have been together forever had he not passed from a heart attack. Even though we are together now and probably will be married someday , she has his pictures on the walll and probably always will. I don't have a problem with that cause I know she truely loved him. I actually wish he and I would have met he seems like he was a wonderful person.
