would you prefer to love your friend or a stranger?

I prefer strangers, but not a total strngaer. Maybe acquaintances will do. Though it may seems awkward, but i think if we have been friends with him/her for a long time, you will feel clumsy about the relation. However, i do believe that love can be found anywhere. So whenever you feel your heart choose that person, go on....

If you feel he fell the same for you, let your feelings follow. Give it a try. Falling in love can not explain the inner excitement it brings. If you really love him go on. It is better to try and fail than fail without trying. Besides you will miss one half of your life if you do not take the opportunity of being in love.

You know, it is hard to fall in love with a friend. I rather choose to love a stranger than a friend because I really treasure the friendship that we had. If you and your friend will end up together, be ready for the circumstances that you will encounter. It is not easy to fall in love with a friend because after the romance between the two of you is gone, the friendship between the two of you will also suffer. There is a popular quote that says.."friends can be lovers, but lovers can't be friends".

well,logically speaking i would prefer to love my friend.but that usually logical things don't happen in our lives.many a time we fall for for a person whom we don't know at all.we always look for unique people and they usually don't turn out be our friends.our friends only help us in the quest to have a relationship with a stranger.

Well always a friend because you know about them and what they are like.

its better to love stranger than your friend. loving your friend can be pros and cons.. the good thing are you already all about him/her while the bad thing also the same. because you know almost everything, all the bad thing about her is already exposed to you to me loving stranger certainly the way. this way while in the relationships you can discover the person actually is rather than know it beforehand

Hi rhodalyn, Congratulations, Falling for your friend who knows you through and through, understands you is certainly better than falling in love with a stranger. I don't know why are you having a hard time. Have you told him about this, If not, go ahead. I am sure he will understand. You just do your part, don't worry about the result. God will take care of the rest. Thanks.

if me, it's better to fall in love with strangers and avoid falling in love with a friend because if one day interwoven romance broke up, I still have friends who can share my joy

a friend is a stranger when you have not known him that much yet...but as days and time go by...you both get to know more about each other....so, the stranger is no longer a stranger...but a friend....eventually, for some, this will lead to realization as to how much you love your own best friend...for me, i rather have a best friend to be my life partner...in this way, we have known one another so well...and therefore we can face life in future with much ease...

I have nothing against the lovers who started out as friends but for me, I don't really like having someone that way. I don't know. I don't really like courting. Maybe I'll have a change of heart someday if I find the guy who could make my heart beat but as for now, I would like to love a stranger.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Lol. I don't want to risk our friendship by telling him my feelings. However, I've decided to wait and I'm still waiting. Let's just pray about it and see what happens.

I just responded my first time to a similar situation. IMO the polyamorous approach is to CONTINUE with the friend that you love on hir (his or her) terms AND also start more relationships with OTHERS. Why are you restricted to only ONE ?
