situations occur when a person is very much attached to a dear friend he/she falls in love....but it is okay to go further on the next level? can friends be lovers? what would happen if friends will become lovers? but most people say that friendship is the greatest foundation in a relationship.....it's really hard when we fall in love with our our close friend....

If your going to ask me, I do think that friends can become lovers especially if they feel something for each other.. I have friends who ended as lovers. And the don't have a hard time knowing each other as lovers because of the time they spent as friends..Although this doesn't apply to all, there is a big chance that friends can be lovers.

I think it is very possible to be in love with you friend. But if the marriage or relationship fails then a good friendship will be lost. I think this is why a lot of people stay away from combining the two. My ex-husband was my best male friend for years before we married. We lost a great friendship by getting married.

I think that the best type of lovers are the ones that derive from frienships. I think the love making is enhanced by the candid openess that uprises from the special bond of having been friends first. Having dealt with all the feelings and emotions before dealing with the physical is a great way for two individuals to let loose and explore each other with out the restraints of having a mystery hang over them.

Before, I used to develop special feelings to my friends but there never was an opportunity for it to develop/grow into something. But I'm also glad because until now, we're still friends. some people I know who were friends and became lovers parted ways without keeping their friendship. too few remain friends after a break up. But I think staying friends after a relationship is up to the person/people involve. It's their own choice.
