The difference between love and friendship :)

Love is a strong pull towards someone irrespective of whether it is right or wrong or how the person behaves or treats you. You may love someone who neglects you, hurts you, uses you, cheats on you or is violent towards you. You often wish you did not have these feelings for them as you would be better off without them.

Love within a one to one relationship is about a very special closeness, which usually includes passion, lust and romance. If both of the people involved feel that special feeling towards the other they are in love with each other. If they also feel they are compatible and have a lot in common and are on the same wavelength, with total honesty, they have the beginning of what could turn out to be a great relationship; so long as they both work hard at it.

 Friendship

is where you like someone but are not in love with them and do not fancy them. A woman can have a male friend that she enjoys going out with and chatting to, but would never in a million years wish to kiss in a sexual way. Friendship is more laid back than love. You might have a best friend who is important to you and contributes towards making your life happier, yet where you do not see them much. Perhaps you keep in touch with emails, phone or texts, but the fact that the closeness is there is the main thing. You do not need them to take up a large slice of your time to be happy.

Love would mean that you would miss them and feel incomplete when you are apart from them. You would try harder to be with them and spend time with them and feel uncomfortable or sad when this cannot be. Love is a very special feeling which you only have for one person. You may have lots of friends and you may well value them all very much, but this person you love is the person you cherish above all of your friends. You value that relationship with the one you love the most and want to be with them the most. They are th eone you wish to do special things with and plan a future with. You would make sure you spend a lot of time with them, if possible, and plan to marry them, live with them or see them a great deal. You would do anything within your power to make sure that nothing parts you., Whether this be another person, a job, moving or other circumstances you can make decisions about and control. This person is your other half. The person you think of when you wake up and think of when you go to sleep.
