Do you believe that Friends can be lovers but Lovers can't be Friends?

i believe that past lovers can still be friends provided that it stays that ways when both of you have already engaged to separate relationships... but i don't think it would look good if you share your issues with present relationships with your past lovers...what would people say? and what would your present lover think... thouGh there's nothiNg wroNg aboUt it..it's jusT that.., for me it doesn't look Good...=)

I find it a little confusing..but my summation is that there are no general rules and we all deal with stuffs differently..so its best to find what suits us as individuals.I would love to be friends with the one I love because to me..when love is troubled, friendship does help alot.

friends can develop their feelings and turn these into love for each other... when people break up though the relationship can be tainted, the people who have been in the relationship may not be able to recover the old friendship because of pride..

I dont believe that ex-lovers can be friends. After all, there is a reason why you fell apart and it's hard to face the person who broke your heart and be civil with him/her as if nothing happens to you.. Maybe in a long long future when all things had mend up but soon as you broke up.. no. An dit's really difficult. Some don't even smile back when they see their ex. much more as a confindante to your new lover.

For my friendship between the man and the woman it does not exist, can begin as a friendship, but sooner or later one of the parts is going to start feeling something for other one and the friendship was ended.

yeah thats true.. but the thing is, if lovers are willing to take a chance and be friends it will take years to forgive realize that they can be that relationship although this is painful especially to some women. as a guy, we must respect on whatever the decision of women will made..

in a personal experience no, anybody can be friend as long as they are willing to built a relationship, i had some ex, that are my close friend till now, and have friends that became my lover. it really a case to case base, i don't believe on general notions..

In some way or another I agree & disagree on this belief, I have so many male friends & none of them become my boyfriend, I told all of them to never take advantage of my kindness as their friend that they should erase that motive of courting me now that we are close. I'd rather go with someone to be my lover who is a stranger to me & challenge myself to know the person better in my own way. But some people I heard about cases like this. Friends become lovers, & once they broke up the friendship they once had is nowhere to be found...Well, you can simply negate from this belief when you live a life in humility...you forgive those who hurt you & move on gracefully. The bitterness will live longer when you hold it tighter within you. When you let go of it then it is easier for you to live life back to normal again. And you can then forgive that person who caused you pain...
