vijayanths if lust comes first,a lot of times if there is somelove
next, it all flies out of the window as real love starts as friendship then love develps and the lust. look at how many go to who#es forlust and that is purely physical, no love involved there and so many boyfriend girlfriend situations are just lust mistaken for love and once they scratch their itches its goodly have a nice day and off for the next person. real love comes first after friendship, lust isjust a side issue until love comes, if not first it doesn't last.
Lust is fleeting, real love is not.

I personally think the same, lust is always the first to come, i dont think you can fall in love if lust isnt there :)

first thing that you will remember in your very life is that you will love.
love is the way of most of the living beings.
lust is just an other process that grows with age and the more you concentrate on it the more you love to lust.... hahaha

It is! At first I feared once we became lustful , the friendship would disappear but it hasn't! I'm so lucky.

Hi anna how are you? I think love will come first, feeling of lust without love is can't image is it? Of course in the couple it is there but they have love on each other. Its is a part of marriage life to make couple together and to have a strong relation too. How come without love lust will be there !
Have a good time anna.

Yes i didn't think about this actually, you are right. Now i understood, but i think that is something like cheating self know. how men will think about this i don't know. But for me it is really a sin and a cheating ourselves and also to that one and also to our partner is it not jai.

If love or lust are my only choices then I will opt to saying it is lust. However I feel the need to say that attraction is first, then lust then love
As without the attraction there will not be either of the two the follow.

That is what exactly I think hardworkinggul. But some people think that friendship, love and then comes lust.

Sometimes it's neither lust or love that comes first. I found myself in a friendship with someone that I neither felt lust or love for. We had a very good friendship and only as the friendship grew, I found myself falling in love and developing a physical attraction after that.

hi, CynergyDiva this is another angle of course. But this is meaningful. I think it is also possible as happened in your case.
But mostly I think lust seems to take the first place.

Usually I think so also! Because what first attracts you to someone, but their appearance and whatever chemistry you might feel between yourself and that other person.. But not always. I feel like people LEARN to feel that chemistry after they meet, sometimes.

In my personal experience its need friendship to have love last. In my country its a little old fashion you will not jump to bed with someone you are not marry. We usually meet someone, make friend and after know each others, thats feeling come we just follow its in old fashion way.
I think relationship start from lust usually not last longer. But relationship start from friendship will because its meaning your falling in love after you know thats person inside and admire it.

i feel they both are different and should not be compared.. you dont think about anything alse when u are deeply in love.. Lust is not your priority, What matters to u is a smile on face of person you love...
Mayb i am an idiot but thats the way i think

I think the same Xansus, lust is what comes first as we don't know them already, then love follows after some time, thanks.

I think it depends on the individuals. You could become friends with someone, get to know them over a long period till you are the best of friends and then one day, something happens...there is a spark between you and you both realise it's been there for some time...not all the time, but a little while.
With a casual affair, it's the chemistry between two people that creates the lust and once the fire is put out there is not much left to build on.
If you build a friendship first, that's a solid foundation.
So my answer is...it can happen either way. One usually leads to a long term commitment, the other to an insignificant in the long run, romance.

Hi Vijayanths,
I have to agree with you. At the beginning it is lust. I think if more people recognized this and took a little more time to get to know the person before carrying the relationship to the next level that they would realize that when the lust ends the relationship should end. But because they think it is love, they continue a relationship in hopes of making it something that it never was and never will be. Love takes a long time to develop.

Yes sid, people often confuse lust with love, at least that is what I think.
If I see a girl for the first time, there is no chance for having love for her. Lust may be there inside the mind. So it develops into love after a period of time, when I find her care for me etc etc...

Hi vijay! I think you are right! When people first meet they
usually are attracted to each other physically so that would
be lust! The might have a chemical attraction which would make
the feeling more intense which might lead to love. But, sadly
many people mistake lust for love and then someone ends up
getting hurt. You should try to figure out things before you
end up getting hurt from "lust"!

Seasons Greetings from my country Vijay. I'm a little late here. I agree with the other myLotter or two that it all depends. Basically, I think love comes first. You see someone you like and bam, you're done. Under those circumstances, hitting a love crazed person with lust only finishes him off - he never had a chance. Yet, lust can come first in many cases.

lust is the first thing that comes. This happens with people of all ages. But over time, lust changes to love and i have seen many such stories
