Friendship and love. Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the specie can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.

there are a few types of love--love for your friends, love for your family, love for your partner.
Friendship is always a part of love, even if you have to create it in your mind (ie for family). Friends are many times the family that you build for yourself.
Love is a pure thing--a connection to someone else. Purity sometimes, passion at others. Not necessarily physical; occasionally cerebral. Never a weak thing--seriously, you can't love someone "ok". You either do or you don't. Do they make your blood turn hot or cold? Your hairs stick on end? Cause your mind to race?
Friendship may be love in the platonic (non-sexual) sense for most people. It doesn't mean you wouldn't change the world for those you love, even past loves. It hits your heart, and when it's gone, hurts so incredibly that you're in physical pain even though you know it should only be something in your head.
A true friend is someone you love as much as you love yourself.

in friendship u'll love all ur friends & in love u'll love just 1 person and that may take u to a serious way of marriage...bt in friendship this isnt there..ur more free in friendship than in love as in friendship possessiveness and selfishness wont be there bt in love possessiveness exists....love is divine only if the 2 people understands eachother very well which is very rare....

Love is surrender and merge to a larger and vaster experience where as friendship is equality and brotherhood.
Friendship is togetherness, love is connectedness.
Love is friendship plus something more as said above;friendship may or may not have love as stated above.

Love is when you can't stop thinking about the next time you will see him/her. Friendship is when you enjoy seeing them occasionally. Love is when you need their touch their kiss their everything. Friendship is when you want to talk to them when you are bored and enjoy doing so. Love is when the giddy butterflies consume you. Friendship is when you giggle about feeling the giddy butterflies. Love is passion. Friendship is compassion.
