Is friendship the blossoming step of a relationship?

Have you ever thought about the title question? Do you have any direct answer? I suggest you keep reading for information.

I had always thought and believed that friendship with a guy for a few years will lead to love and relationship. While I was really on that path, it snapped me out of the blues when the guy I was closely attached to replied that he still considered me a friend and couldn’t think otherwise. He was the first guy I really liked and I was starting to fall for him. I was shocked by his response, but I respected his wishes, and to comfort myself, I sang the titanic song over and over again, placing special emphasis on the line: “My heart will go on and on.”

Arranged marriages proliferate in our country and they don’t always break up, but stick together. On the other hand, divorce rates in our country have increased tenfold in the new era compared to the old days, even with marriages that began with affairs.

So you see there is no easy solution to my question. But on the other hand, when you commit to a relationship, you have to make friends with your man/woman and get along. So why not just be friends first, then have a love relationship, get married and continue on friendship terms? You have to be friends with your spouse after marriage so that the two of you can be in the same boat through thick and thin. Only then can they become solid lovers.

However, as in my case, friendship did not turn out to be the first step in a relationship. So where are you going?

My advice would be: be happily married to yourself before you marry someone else. In other words, love yourself from the bottom of your heart and then it will be easy to love others, commit to a relationship and eventually get married.

In short, friendship may not be the blossoming step of a relationship. After all, love at first sight does happen. Body chemistry, body language, compatibility, and emotions all play vital roles. Also, it’s up to you who you find electric and attractive and the other party should feel the same way about you; this is how a beautiful mutual bond is formed. And it’s up to the two of you to make the most of it by getting along, becoming friends, and getting engaged.
