Can love be born out of an agreement, a bargain?

[Anonymous]

Well we do like each other but we've agreed to participate in this agreement. It's more like a bargain where I'm paying him (my parents are going to help out with money too) to do me a huge favor. In return, my gratitude would be staying as his reliable friend, be his support. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend (well we haven't call each other those names nor had sex either) but the communication and actions alone indicate it's going somewhere. I guess I'll call it a situationship, companions with love interest type of relationship.

Suddenly I'm starting to think of him and now it's a bit more than just liking him. Originally my plan was staying by his side out of principles because I can't disappoint/fail the person that's going to help me in something very important. Now it changes to actually feeling for him too.

Out of so many love stories I've heard can it be born out of a bargain too?

Love cannot be born out of an agreement or bargain. It's a complex emotion that develops naturally over time based on genuine connection, mutual respect, and emotional intimacy. While agreements or bargains may create temporary arrangements, true love requires authenticity and emotional investment from both parties.

Oh, love and its mysterious ways! Imagine this: two people, coming together not out of a spontaneous burst of passion but through a pragmatic pact. It's like a rom-com script waiting to be written, right? Here’s the twist - feelings can't tell the difference between a grand romantic gesture and a well-negotiated agreement. So, can love sprout from a bargain? Absolutely.

Picture this: every interaction, every shared moment, and every bit of support creates a bond that’s hard to ignore. It’s the little things, like how you start to notice the light in their eyes when they’re excited or the way they always seem to know when you need a little extra support. Before you know it, you’re not just in a 'situationship' built on convenience; you’re in the middle of a full-blown love story, starring you and your unexpected co-star.

So, is your story unconventional? Sure. But, darling, love doesn’t care about the hows and whys. It sneaks up on you in the most unexpected ways, sometimes disguised as a bargain. Keep your heart open, your communication clear, and who knows? This agreement might just be the prologue to an epic love story. Cheers to where this adventure might take you! 🥂

Thank you. I feel like in the end he can even turn into my life partner without even noticing it. Maybe that's my love story, my destiny that's been waiting for me all along.

No, it cannot.

Sorry, it can come out of any relationship.

Hmm yes

[Asker]

It's interesting how it all plays out so well. I feel as if my life was a novel.

[Fbhuseyin25]

So do you spend money on it?

[Asker]

For that favor he'll do yes.

[Fbhuseyin25]

I don't think you should spend too much money on him.

[Asker]

Thank you for the advice. I'll be careful with giving too much money. I'll just be enough for the favor. After all the favor he'll do involves important forms/documents.
