Spockers I respect you and i would say one would choose frienship......... because love is having a lot of expectations but frienship is without any expectations, its free of cost.... We give gifts to our lover but not to friends............. R u agree with me or not......???? :)

I absolutely agree to what you said. Many expectation that mostly we can't stand to it. And that ruins the relationship. Make it hard to stay happy with it.

I think if you're in relationship with someone, it means that you two will get to know each other better as a lover and so that you can decide if you really suits each other as a person you wish to spend the rest of your life with or not. If you found out that he/she doesn't really match you then it's okay to end your relationship, doesn't mean that anyone is wrong or is at blame. But you better talk it out nicely about why you think you should end the relationship. And if you could end it smoothly I'm sure you'll be able to continue being a good friend. Your friendship might even be better. One of my friends are like that, they end their relationship in a really nice way and become a very close friend. Wish you the best luck.

Every relationship has it one time. And I'm sure if I continue to go with our relationship, It will end in not so nice way. We really know each other, and I know that we are not good to share a relationship, we are almost opposite in every characters we have. And it is better to remain friends, and it work.

I don't know you or what's right for you. I was in a situation where I had an on-off girlfriend and a female friend who I got on with better than anybody I'd ever known before. I got to wondering why I was messing around with my girlfriend when my friend seemed perfect for me. However my friend had said that she'd only had platonic relationships with men so I thought she wasn't interested in a romantic involvement. Then my girlfriend dumped me for longer than normal and I decided to test my theory by putting my arm round my friend, expecting to have to apologize profusely and hope we could still be friends. Well now we are still friends and we're also happily married to each other.

Are you talking about the same person? I mean, your friend and your love interest are both the same, is that it? Well, if you think that being friends with that person is way better than having a romantic relationship, then by all means keep the friendship alive.

yup.. in other word, I love my best friend. But i rather choose our friendship because I'm contented to see that she is happy with her love life now. I never try to tell to her but i know, she feels it, that i really care for her very much.

There are certain reason why you have to choose, being a friend and a lover at the same time is much better than just a friend or just a lover the two must combine. But if you were not meant to be as lovers then choosing to remain friends is not bad.

choosing between the two, was really hard. But I'm more comfortable in our friendship than pursuing my love to her. I'm happy for what I've decided, because she's so happy in her love life now.

i think that you are experiencing now is not easy especially there is a relationship that is involved. I've been through that before and I chose pursuing a relationship with her.. It wasn't easy at first, but I tell you that if you two have established a good relationship as friends, why not as partners? why not take the risk? if things would go rough in time, consider that before you are in a commitment, you are friends.. then you can talk and work things out..

But I can't do it now. In my situation it is really not the best things to do. I saw her that she is happy now, with her someone. And I'm happy also to her. I'm contented to what relationship with her now, and as far as i really care, is her feelings. If she's happy, then i'm happy for her also.

i think friendship is more precious than love,sometimes its too hard to apologize with someone that we love rather than a friend.
