Well it depends if you went out with each other and said you loved each other while you were going out and then broke up and said you would just be friends it was never love in the first place or it was very true love and you love that person so much that if you had to choose between not having them t all or haing them as friends you choose friends and then if it is real love you will end up together . If not then it was never true love !
If you have never gone out together and decide to befriends it can be that you are both shy and can't find the courage to ask the other person out .
Anyway hope that answers you're question !
xx Good luck

No one can live permanently on the 'high' that new love creates... the excitement of it would be too distracting to a normal life and exclude all others... feelings level out and then, we need this feeling back when life gets heavy, like a drug that helped us feel that we controlled our world and were invincible, we look elsewhere, since familiarity of person, somehow never again allows that exact same first buzz our partner gave us.
We can resurrect it partially by reminiscing on our meeting, but it's brief... and so we respond to other people and reactivate the chemicals that excite us.
That's my theory anyway, for what it's worth.
Maturity is both of us knowing this... and loving one another even when we bore each other... because of knowing that, handled properly, we can retreat (retread those boards again together) in small doses... just like we spoil ours ourselves with chocs, and treats, and outings, now and then...

Well to be honest that is a good question
I was with my ex partner for 14 years and we separated a few years ago. We was together for 14 years to long as we did not get on that well as we argued the whole time. To be honest when we split it was a relief for the both of us.
2 years on from the separation we are now good friends and we possibly have a better rel as friends then what we did as lovers.
I still love my ex partner and he says he still loves me but we do not love one another enough to be together.
You can love someone but that is not the same as being in love with someone.
I love my ex partner because he is the father of my 2 children, i love my partner because he has been a big part of my live for nearly 17 years and we have a lot of history, but i am not in love with him.

sounds like neither of you are prepared to risk getting involved in case it all goes pear shaped and you're no longer mates.
you know what, that's life!
take a chance, get in there and see if you too can be more than just friends who love each other, maybe you can be lovers who are also dear friends.
all the best.

I have a deep love and respect for a guy friend of mine, and the feelings are mutual. we want the best for each other's lives, are supportive of one another, etc. but we are only good friends. Never romantically involved at all.
I think this kind of love is good because it doesn't get old, and you aren' t legally bound to them. :)

because people are usually rubbish at communicating properly and don't like to take the risk... that's why usually alcohol aids such situations :)

Probably because they are both too shy to be authentic with each other.

Not so, you can love someone and not even like them.
