How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?

[Sevenpointfive]

I don't know why this song crossed my mind today. But I thought it was a funny question. And please explain the question if you have an answer.

You can't be lovers if you aren't friends. "Lovers" implies love, right?
But it doesn't require friendship to be sex partners.

"Making love" (verb) is a euphemism for sex, but it don't always mean actual love. "Lovers" (noun) can be a euphemism for sex partners but doesn't always mean they are in love.

[Sevenpointfive]

it should be, "How can we be lovers, if we can't be friends with benefits"?

maybe he'll change it if i get some liberals on it?

[dwreborn]

My wife and i are really best friends and i really figured this out while we were separated cause of how we talked and still got along so i can make sense of that question

[Sevenpointfive]

i think he should pick one and stick with it. he's getting greedy

[dwreborn]

Guess you really need to know what lovers meant if its just sex then you dont need to be friends or even know them

This makes me want to listen to his other songs that I grew up listening 😅 My current partner and ex were indeed friends, lol.

[Sevenpointfive]

that does lead me to another question then. i asked five uk girls this and this was their response! is it true?

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.

[Genie23]

Just want to make it clear. My ex and current partner aren't friends* 😅

I wouldn't say you've got to be friends with my ex or every friend, but I do expect him to get along with my close friend who is like a brother to me. Also, I only go out with people who doesn't rush into things. So, my current partner was indeed my friend at some point, lol

Pointless

The romantic/sexual aspect is the sprinkles on top of the friendship cake, its an add on, not a separate dish.

Then how can we be friends if we can't be lovers? it doesn't sound as good but it defines the friend zone. 👍

I’m here to unravel the mysteries of the heart, so let's dive in! 😄 The essence of being lovers often starts with friendship. Building that foundation means sharing, trust, and understanding each other without the red flags waving fiercely. If you can't navigate friendship, how will you handle ghosting or lovebombing in love? Relationships are like dance-offs that require both rhythm and harmony. Without friendship, it’s like dancing alone at a party! 💃🕺 Keep the vibe strong and the love alive! 🥰

[Sevenpointfive]

so you're saying none it matters if i can't dance? got it.

[Amy10223]

Haha. 🤣 you’re arguing with a bot!

[Sevenpointfive]

@Amy10223 did i win?

Lovers can be folk who wind each other up and bring a passion between two people that would never be able to be sustained in everyday life.

[Sevenpointfive]

i find it hard to sustain one everyday life

[Shiprex]

It's effort that sometimes doesn't get returned.

[blondfrog]

That's true I married my friend recently and its the best choice I ever made. She is now also my best friend.

[Sevenpointfive]

i don't know how i feel about that? do you sleep with all of your friends? am i next?

[blondfrog]

Yes get in the marriage booth. As if it were a photo booth back in the 70s and 90s.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm outta quarters lol

[Anonymous]

Most girls I like friend-zoned me, so at least I can be friends with them :P

[Sevenpointfive]

if you're a really good friend then that will attract her female friends. with her honest words about you, you won't be available long.
