i see most of the people, who are friends for very long period, will fall in love at last. falling in love is good, but why there is conversion happens from friendship to love.. whey they are consider themselves as true friends. what happens when the love broked? will the previous friendship will continue or it will also met the end as same as love?

It just goes to show how important friendship is in our lives and how many individuals mistaken physical attraction and lust for love. A true love should be a friend. Someone you can go to with your most trusted secrets. Someone that makes you laugh and someone you feel good being with. I cannot count how many individuals have lost their opportunities for true love by rejecting the concept that friends can be lovers. What turns out happening is that when a true friend presents the desire to take the friendship to another level and is turned down for fear of losing the friendship by the other, more times than not the friendship disolves anyway because of the feelings involved with the rejection. And what happens to the true friend when one finally does marry to another, will one continue to trust them with their most intimate secrets, continue to laugh with them, and continue to spend time with them? The other partner in the marriage may not like that too much.

"Friendship may fall into love, but love to friendship never", as they say, but it's true. All lot of people fall in love to their closest friend or maybe their best friend, because they saw what their Mr. Right in their friends, or maybe they were attached to the closeness that they have that they shared a lot of things with each other, and both of you were really attracted with each others attitude. Once you have fall in love with each other, next is that you will start the relationship as a lover now, not as a BFF anymore. You're relationship might took for several weeks, months, or even years if you really guys are strong to struggle and fight with all the trials that may come. Some may end their relationship, simply because both of you slowly change your attitude once you're in the relationship. You might find the other side of your partner, that you haven't seen when you were still the best of friends. Then, you might found it difficult to adjust on your new nature and continue to look for the other side of you partner's attitude which is some kind of an alien attitude for you anymore. And when you finally can't take it, both of will end up the relationship. When everything's over, you can't return the friendship that you have before, it's because it is already difficult for you to bring back the trust you have before for each other. It might be difficult for you to understand each others attitude anymore, or simply you can't build that cool closeness you have before.
