friends become lovers...

I think that the best relationships begin with friendship. Someone who you already know all about, what they like, what your common interests are, what makes them laugh. It doesn't always work out, and you may not be able to remain friends afterward, but life is about taking chances, isn't it?

I think Marriage means being married to your best-friend. Think about it you gotta be with them for the rest of your life..every day..They had better be your best friend.

Well I do believe that friends can be lovers, since that is exactly what my husband and I were. We were friends for about 10 years before we crossed over that line and became lovers. When we first started we were daytime friends and nighttime lovers. We didn't really let anyone know. It lasted for about 3 months and then we stopped. He went out and dated another person but we remained great friends. He statyed with that other girl for a few months but it just didn't work for him. She didn't care for me and he decided that any girl he was with would have to like me because I was his best friend. A few months after that, he went away for a month and that was a miserable month. We both missed each other so much. When he came back, we decided to make our romantic relationship official. Shortly after that we moved in together. We have been together now for 13 years. Our friendship is what really keeps us strong, and it is more important to us than the marriage. We have always said that if the marriage started ruining the friendship then we would end the marriage. So far it has only made our friendship stronger. I think you need to have a really great friendship first because if you don't the lover part could ruin the friendship. But if your friendship is truly strong then adding the romantic part is actaully great.

my girlfriend was a friend of mine before we got into a relationship... we though not so very good friend.. did go for couple of movies together and then felt the fire with in ourselves for eachother/./// though we are succesfull i do think that if good friends chances are that it cannot be turned into a serious relationship easily

dear mgorg, my opinion is just your opposite. my wife was my friend before marriage, and today we still remain like friends, even after marriage. we found that being a friend in married life is also necessary in this big bad world. its just how we take it. if we feel that something bad will happen then it may happen. But it suggest that you think just in the positive side and look at how your opinion also changes. mike the lil smiley devil http://www.indiatomorrow.net

no. most lovers start being friends. they get to know eachother, have bonding and blablabla... before being lovers. because the acceptance, trust and love is being developed in friendship that can lead a couple to a more than friends relationship...

I think that all is possible. You can't stop a feeling. If someone begin to love you can't accuse him. I think instead that is so much possible that there are not so much friend and a lot of lovers.

this is indeed debatable.i have seen friends who are long time friends who became lover and also vice versa like what mgorg19 mention.but it all depends on situation and understanding between the girl and the guy.there are also classical cases where enemies turn into lover!so you cant say the philosophy is true
