Friendship vs. Relationship?

[TheBootyChest]

Where is the line between friendships and relationships?

What does each word mean to you?

How far are you willing to go for someone with one of those titles?

[LrningthisLife]

friendships and relationships are interconnected but one or the other is more of basis you go by. The picture you put in this question reminds me that friendship is loving, but its' center around love is not one like a romantic interest. Ultimately every connection or bond with humans are a form of relationship that we either friendzone or develop intimately/affectionately. Maybe not just limited to humans, the healthy relationship you have around animals, nature, God or the universe can be life-transformative. How far am i willing to go for someone with one of the titles friend/relationship? As far best I can go if the quality of it is responsive and nourishing. Or, even teaching. Some bonds don't work out, so you either learn from it or the pattern repeats similarly with others.

Besides physical touch, or attraction what else is crossing the line from friendship to relationship?

[Dopaaminequeen]

I dont think there is another thing.. jizt think if u were friends with someone for a long time & you become a couple... the only thing that really changed between both of yous relationship is the physical intimacy & the confession of mutual attraction

[Dopaaminequeen]

The loyalty & selfnesses usually increases as well but I think ultimately it comes down to intimacy & attraction

[LrningthisLife]

spiritual connection, interest commonality or the harmony of exchanges in this.

[LrningthisLife]

@Dopaaminequeen yes that's right, and it doesn't need to be spelled out. Love works of its own accord.

[LrningthisLife]

exactly

I think attraction is one the line that crosses between friendships & relationships. Your friends are people you enjoy spending time with, have common interests, share secrets, etc, experience life. all things you should also share with your partner but I believe it's the mutual attraction that differentiates the two. Sometimes couples don't share the same interests or are black & white... but that feeling that attraction is what últimatley makes a difference in my opinion (i don't mean only physical way)

Friendships was something i valued when i was still in school (preschool, elementary, HS, college). Idgaf about friendship now. Be my acquaintance/associated on an as needed basis or gtfo. Relationship is something that makes me happy and i value it as a top priority since love is something i’d love to come across again in life. But love is not a NEED for me. It is a want and when i have it, i value it highly

[TheBootyChest]

Do you ever feel like you might need a friend to give you a shoulder to cry on, help you with a flat tire in a bad neighborhood, or help you move?
And would acquaintances help you with things like this?

[DizzyDesii]

Acquaintances would help and then im not obligated to see them again. Friends expect too much out of you

To me a friendship is more a like relationship you have with a sibling. Some days are perfect, others are bad, somedays you argue with them but in the end you both love each other.
While a relationship is different, you're mentally, physically and sexually attracted to the person you love. You can't see her/him/they like a sibling.
Friendship means family to me while relationship means the unknown.
I would do many things for my friends and for the person I'm dating. It's just depends on the situation.

Friendships are one thing. Friendship is when you have a lot in common with someone. Few last forever because people get busy, move, or you just drift apart. A few friendships do last, though, and you can remain good friends forever, even if you can only stay in touch by phone or email.

Relationships are like peak moments. There is no better feeling in the world than being totally infatuated with someone who feels the same way about you. It's the feeling we associate with love, even though it's not the same thing. It's when two people can't get enough of each other. They think their partner is the most perfect human being ever created. They want to go places, do things, and be with each other all the time. And the unbridled sex is out of this world.

Infatuation is deep, intimate friendship, but it's also kind of a fantasy land. It eventually wears off. But sometimes it can turn into true and everlasting love.

True friends are vital to me. But I also have a lot of casual friends, both irl and online.

[emperor90]

Good question both of these have similar stuff like being there for them and some stuff u will tell them

[dragoblack]

The limit isn't much when you understand a healthy relationship is best friends with romantic benefits. Once you both agree to romance stuff, its no longer just friends

[Lovesims3plumbob]

Friends are friends . relationship attractive to a person

[Seangreen]

The line is a penis enters some part of somebody then it's no longer a friendship

[msc545]

By definition, lovers should also be friends, but friends cannot be lovers and remain only friends.
