Answer 1

Love is when you finally meet someone you are completely comfortable with and cannot live without. A friend is someone who is there to listen to you and hang out with you, and there are no shared romantic feelings.

Answer 2

Love is totally different from Friendship of course.




~ For instance, a lover won't be the same as your friend. Ask yourself about these:


Do you feel strong sensation of a guy whose in the meantime turn you on? If yes, it's love.


Do you find a male buddy that really closely connected to you but didn't have any feelings other than just a best bud with him? Then, it's friendship, not love ~

Answer 3

When I call someone a friend, I love that person (male or female). But then again, I count very few people as true friends, people who I can trust, rely upon and call at any time. The other folks who are familiar to me are just acquaintances. So, I'd say love is synonymous with friendship... true friendship that is.

Truth is, there's all kinds of LOVE. There's the kind you feel in the pit of your stomach. That's the kind that makes you want to do anything, absolutely anything for them. It's passionate, emotional. It's not just animalistic passion (lust), but it's all about feeling.

Then there's a stronger level of love that is thoughtful. When you know that the person is really someone you enjoy just because they are there with you, that's love. If it's someone you can be around without a lot of fanfare (i.e., having to do something special for them, etc), that's a stronger love. Someone you love like this truly has to be your friend as well as your lover. When you are consciously, intellectually as well as emotionally and physically connected with someone, that's a special kind of love.

It's true what they say, love takes time.

Answer 4

Well.... Here are the differences ( according to me)

1. Love is demanding. Friendship is not demanding.

2. You look for perfection in your lover ( and u know no one is perfect ) . You dont look for perfection in your friend.

3. With your friend , you are comfortable with your natural, original personality. But with your lover, you become anxious to make some changes regarding your personality.

4. With your friend you share almost everything... most of your secrets. But with your lover.... you restrict your openness.

5. When a guy is your friend.. even if he has a girlfriend you wont be jealous. But if that guy happens to be your lover.. then you will go green even if he admires a cool woman on television.

6. Love comes at a cost. Friendship doesnt.

7. People say that Love is Blind. I DONT THINK SO. I think that Friendship is blind.

8. Friendship shatters the barriers of money, status and gender,culture, religion. Sometimes love doesnt.

Answer 5

Love and friendship can , at best, exist together.
A good friendship results when two people try to be fair, understanding, helpful, caring, reciprocal, etc.
Love, without friendship does not offer the comforts, and virtues I've listed above.
Love must mature, ALSO, into friendship in order to offer of itself the best results while sharing of own another.

Answer 6

Lovers call it by many different names, its defined differently and uniquely by each and every person. Matrimonial ceremonies claim that love is not jealous or boastful. Love is not a gourmet dish, a domesticated animal, or a latest trend. Love is not a strategic defense mechanism nor the best kept secret at the Pentagon. Love is not a seasoning to bottle and stick on the dust lined shelves of the spice rack. Love is not to be confused with adhesive tape.

Instead, love is a great counterpart to late evening thunderstorms on hot July nights. Love goes well with cold pizza on picnic blankets. Love is cold, wet sand between bare toes. Love is a capitalistic sell-all for novels, top 40 pop songs, summer movies and greeting cards.

In its simplest terms, love is a four letter word. Much like other words of similar letter make up, when expressed it can evoke pleasure, desire, tenderness, laughter, pain, and anger. Love is food for a happy mind. It is kindness, devotion, or affection to another. Love is the most wonderful experience in the world, yet it can hurt you more than anything, physical pain hurts less. Love is sacrifice. Love is quite good if shared between two with trust and understanding, and at the same time dangerous.

Love is so hard to define because its felt, expressed, and viewed differently by each and every person. We all come to know love over time though, the good and the bad side, one way or another.

Answer 7

Love is in the eros way or romantic manner you have to experience it. Friendship well that is also an experience. Everyone has different levels of friendship and love. Define what you are looking for in a friend and what you are looking for in love. When you clearly define it you're no longer in doubt and you're the one who has the only intelligence to answer this question of yours.

Answer 8

There is a very fine line between friends and lovers and it is common to confuse one with the other. Friendship is an imaginary ‘ship’ built by two people or a select group of people who share a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations. Irrespective of gender.

For explanatory purpose let us consider friendship between two people. How does it begin? Well two people meet, perhaps by way of introduction etc. If there is an amiable aura between them they become acquaintances. After a course of time a certain bond develops between them they start spending more time together, doing things together, etc. (the imaginary ‘ship’ building begins) Gradually they begin to share a bond of mutual affection exclusive of sexual feelings for each other …they have become ‘Friends.’ This is friendship.

Love is the same sort of friendship only there will also be sexual feelings and attraction in the relationship. It happens normally between just two people of the opposite sex

Answer 9

When there is love, there is a chemistry between the two people and it is indescribable--but most definetly there. You think about each other when you are apart, you are comfortable around each other, you can tell your deepest secrets without hesitation. You have to be friends with the people you love for it to be a love and friendship relationship. I have a husband who is my best friend--we laugh, talk, argue and make-up, and when he breathes in I breathe out. I also have a friend that is like a sister to me, we have argued, laughed cried and shared our deepest heartaches together--I would walk to the ends of the earth for either of them. When you have that feeling for someone--they become more than an acquaintance--they are friends. I hope that helped!!!

Answer 10

Love is not a feeling but a Sensation, when you are in love...u dream about it, builds your life around it, looks forward to the exitement it gives, care for it and you would love to be in love. and this love can be with only One person at time and life. You smile for yourselves when you are alone...that is when you are in LOVE...

Friendship is a casual relation, wherein like minded people get together, share their feelings, ideas, etc. You can be friends with many at a time and still carry on with it for ages. Their is not intimacy in friendship while in love you are into it. Love is completely a private affair,,,while friendship is NOT...hope that answers your question.

Answer 11

There are different types of love, and friendship is one of them. You can love pets, food, parents, friends, and you also love you spouse. I believe though that they are all important and confusing in their own way. And, I really disagree that intelligence can only answer this question, I believe that if you ponder a question long enough and develop an opinion you can back it up most of the time and you don't neccesarily have to be intelligent!! :)
