Is hugging,kissing,sleeping together is a relation.I would probably disagree with that. Do you feel that if there is an official status to a relationship then only it could be called a relationship or you feel that relationships are free of these restrictions?

When I was in high school that was sort of my definition of what a relationship is and should be like. But now that I've grown (a bit) older, I'd say it's a lot more transcendental than that. A relationship for me as I grew to find out is finding this person who complements NOT what I lack, but the entirety of who I am. It's being with this person who unconditionally makes me happy even in the simplest of ways (even if it's pushing me to a puddle of mud for fun), who shares and carries every burden I have (like when I found out my mom had cancer), who can unconditionally take me for who I am (even without my mascara and make-up on and still he'd tell me I look beautiful), and knowing that the certain togetherness you share is bound to be something more meaningful in the future. Anyway, I think it's easy to label togetherness as a relationship, but in my case what I shared is what I regard as a genuine one. Other outside of that can fall under the category of "hook ups." My two cents. Regards.

That made me cry, PocketRocketsAA. I think you've summed up exactly how I view a relationship, and you put it more eloquently than I ever could.

relationship means faith,belief and understanding.......it is based on careness..and the most common and important thing is love....without love i think there will last hardly a relationship...whatever may it be.may be it between father and son,between mother and children or friends or lovers....

The mutual acceptance of each other from the depth of the heart creates a lasting relationship. We may express it in words and signs and actions but purity must permeate above all interests and disappointments.
