I actually think it is easier to fall in love with a sranger than with a friend - I guess it's the excitement of the 'new'. However once the 'in love' stage has passed, I do think it's important to be great friends.

yes excitement and adventure adds to the relationship but it does not give you gurantee that the opp person will understand and sacrifice for you more then a friend cos the stranger does not know u that much and for him or her to know u much needs time to be spent together which u have already spent with ur friend so i still think it is easy and compatible to fall in love with a friend then a stranger

Oh I agree with you but falling in love just happens...you can "love" a friend but not be "in love" with them.

i don't believe in love at first sight because i feel you can get impressed by someone personality or attitude but not love as it is very deep thing.yes it's possible to fall in love with a friend as friends are like minded and both understand each other.we also get emotional security from our friends.

I also think that it is way much easier to fall in love with stranger than with friends.
With stranger, the is the excitement of finding new things, falling on the first sight, the suspense factor of not knowing the person but wanting so badly to know everything and all.
With friends, we are already comfortable and I personally think that it is totally out of syn to be romantically fall for a platonic friend. That must be super weird :)

It's impossible to fall in love with a person you know absolutely nothing about. You only fall in love with a stanger once you get to know him or when he ceases to become a stranger to you. That's just how it works.

I think that it goes both ways. I haven't felt the love at first sight experience, but I have had a strong liking for someone I just met. I fell in love as I was dating my now boyfriend, but it wasn't right away. It took a couple of months and at first I wasn't really that into him! But, the more I got to know him, the more I loved him.

It is possible because direct interaction with a friend. With this we come to know how abouts and we fall in love. His nature attracts us for love. Whereas love with an stranger is not possible because we do not know much about such person. So our heart do not accept.

This speaks to a thing called social value. Strangers hold no social value for us because we don't know them. What they seem like and what they say may seem to be legitimate but we don't know. A friend we all ready know and we have become comfortable with them and know how the feel about us. And most importantly we have feelings for them.

It must be because we know our friends and have a bond with them and trust them it's hard to trust a stranger straight away and trust is important in love.
