Do you think it is easier to fall in love with a friend?

Well that seems to be the trand nowadays but as you have experienced that doesn't work for everyone. I think it still depends on both of you. There should be mutual feeling for it to work.

sometimes we don't see things that are right under our noses, the right person for us. i think being close friends will help, cause you both will know how each other tick.

I think it is definitely easier to fall in love with a friend. You already know the person and you know if you will be good for each other and if you will get along ro not. That saves alot of time.

yes falling in love with a friend is the most easiest way. You know the person nicely because of which you are aware of his/her habits,behaviour,attitude and you have already accepted those without any thoughts.

hi friend... A close friend can become his or her lover... because even me too fell in love with a my close friend... we both are in love with each other... its not bat actually.... only friends can understand their feelings and if they get married the live will be great...

My first love was my bestfriend,although he wasn't really aware of that all this time.It was so hard because I was afraid to tell him my feelings,thinking that I might lose the wonderful friendship that we have.

i think that it is very quite difficul because generally you are more confident with a friend that with your girlfriend. Perhaps it is only my case, but i think that if you tell your secret to a friend every day, it would be difficult to fall in love with her/him.

Well, all of the girls that I fell and had a relationship are all my high school friends, even my present girlfriend is my close friend when I was in high school. I'm more comfortable falling in love with those whom I already know and who knows me already. I seldom put my self in a relationship who I have only met for a couple of months or days. I don't know why I'm like this. Maybe because I looked inside them, like their personality and attitude.

I guess its because friends share more time with each other. This lets them get to know each other. Besides friendship is a form of love.

yeah,my husband is one of my close friends when we were in college until he courted me, we ended up together and until now, we still love each other more than before. we now have two children and we're very much happy with each other.

Well, i think so! they know each other so well and may be it is easy to them to fall in love.

no it is very difficult to fall in love with a friend, because of they were sharing every thing in their moment with friends. friendship is not to evaulate with love.love is dependent upon the mood

yes its easy to fall in love with friend. bcoz you know her well and easily you can impress her.

Hello sagnik42, A big YES to your question! Why? I married a good friend! She use to help me prepare my gifts for my ex girlfriend, she even introduced me to a classmate hoping that i could have a girlfriend again. There are occasions and cases where this situation would work and some time might not. But if you'll ask me having a girlfriend or a wife who use to be a friend is very good, because you know each other more even before you went to the next level of your relationship. Remember your partner should also be or ideally should be your bestfriend also.

I guess in a way, it is easier to fall in love with a friend especially that you already know each other (or most of each other's) characteristics and personalities. Sometimes, you understand each other even in the absence of words. I guess most problems faced by friends-turned-lovers are STAYING IN LOVE. Sometimes, familiarity does breed contempt. In some ways, an amount of mystery between two people keeps the relationship going. It makes it challenging. You know, there's something new to discover everyday. A good friend of mine started to court me but I only feel brotherly love for him. Unfortunately our communication had been really affected since then because I started to feel awkward towards him and started avoiding him. For me at least, I want friends to stay friends unless we both share romantic interests for each other at the beginning.

Well it simply depends on the situation... in my case i was a little bit shocked when my officemate and friend courted me 8 years ago...at that time i was loveless and so depressed with life that unknowingly i said "yes" to him. When the relationship progressed i almost could not believe that this man whom i used to insult and threw tantrums at became a part of my life. The adjustment periods from being friends to lovers were not easy but i do believe that if God wants you to be together then it would really happen. After 5 years of being steady we got married and by now we have a beautiful 2 year old daughter. Afterall my husband is a responsible Christian guy, contrary to my impressions about him when we were still officemates. So what else can I say? Thank you, Lord!

I am actually guilty of this because I too fell in love with a friend. My boyfriend and I are close friends before we became lovers. I think it is easier because if someone is your friend the constant togetherness and the spending time with each other makes both parties appreciate the good qualities of one another. I guess it is also because love really does work in mysterious ways and kind of has a habit of surprising you.

Well I think yes but not all the times. A love for friend is different with the love that we are talking about when it comes to building a serious relationship. Well I think many people fall in love with their friends because they become very familiar with each other. They know the strength and weakness of each other and they know how to comfort one another in times of trouble.
