friends into lovers!



Friends into lovers



Just when does friendship turn into love?
Is it when lust takes over?



Kindergarden, school, college mates,

colleagues, team mates, fellow performers...

suddenly get hit with the realisation.

Boing! Boing! Boing!



And then comes the tricky part

Of messing up a friendship with a twist

squeezing out the open exchange

and adding to the cocktail

a little dash of bitters.



Poof! Goes the friendship

in one silly move.

Some graciously decline.

Others are offended, appalled, aghast.



A few convert

from friends into lovers.



So can friends who've declined a desire to be lovers remain
friends?


Can lovers who are no longer lovers be just friends?



The fear of hurting and hearing the,

"I didn't expect this from you!!!"

is nothing compared to the loss

of missing out on a lover 

who you kept just a friend.

ask me?finding a lover in ur frnd may
turn out to be a surprise...but finding a frnd back in ur lover is the most
beautiful thing that can happen.If frndship truly existed in the first
place..i think no other relation can outstand it.

Well written....... A lesson one should
always keep in mind before getting involved with a friend and thus messing
up things.

lovers can bcome frnds but i thnk frnds
turned luvrs may have it difficult to get gng in the same vein......But,
nwadays love and frndshp have bcome tomfoolery.......smtimes meaningless
and mostly unsustainable..........bb

its rather a difficult and confusing
question to ans...whether its right or wrong to convert one relation to
other... buts its even more difficult when u dont know what u want out of
it . i think every relation is based on love even if its definations are
different but its still love!very nice post ! u really knw how to express
those complex emotions !!!!!

Age old question; interesting take.
Gollum (another LOTR fan) is probably just saying the sensible thing.

this chance of ur friendship getting decayed into love if u come much too
closer ...u stand a chance of losing 2 ppl !!

If they are really your friend and not
judging you then wheres the problem,it was just a biological urge.But if
they are mind fucked because of a pass give them a ticket to ride on and
what the hell you aint gonna catch no fish if you dont throw your line. A
friend is a friend for life fornication or no fornication ,but a friend or
a lover with a fucked head ,head on a beer is better.

fuck it. just take it in your stride...
a pass made here and there should not alter your perception man.. we''re
all human... why ruin a good thing just bcoz lust made an appearance? say
no thankyou and move on... or say yes please and move on...

Hi, Friend into lovers (well said),
after reading this one thing i got sure with that........in friendship (boy
and a girl) can''t be intimate friends, some how their arise which keeps
them away from friendship........and i agree with shmrose......that in all
the relationship their exist love.........but we make it a complicated
one............Have a great day.........Take
Care.........Regards........Jiby.....

love is transient, friendship is
eternal..

love is the true essence of our
existence..but we make it so complicated..that we run when we hear the word
LOVE.

nice lines..." are you just
another excuse to stay fallen in love?" ...follows the adage of
"better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all"

hi, how can lovers who no longer are
lovers remain friends, to me seeing that person sends trains of thoughts in
my mind, I can never be the same again with that person.

love is so simple but we make it so
complex...by getting possesive jealous and simply by expecting when its not
required! nice post!

Just when does friendship turn into
love?Is it when lust enters?nope..it happens when hormones start
functioning..
