Frightening, intriguing, exciting and at the same time exciting - this is how you can briefly describe the feeling of falling in love. It comes to us sooner or later.
From this moment on, life turns upside down, the world looks different. It is no longer possible to imagine yourself without the object of your adoration. The lonely existence is over. The two met, what could be more beautiful? How do you understand that you love a person?
How to understand what a guy loves?
Perhaps a fortune teller will give the answer to your question or a psychic will come to the rescue? Maybe you should take a closer look at your friend and understand his attitude towards you?
The guy on early stage development of relationships, will try in every possible way to please you. This manifests itself in the manner of communication, behavior, and actions. He will be the first to arrive in an ironed suit and clean shoes. When communicating, tilting your head is...
Even over time, the young man will not criticize your way of dressing or moving. He will not follow you with his gaze, much less discuss or compare your external characteristics with a passing girl.
How can you tell if a guy loves you? Attention and care in small things are signs of interest. He will warm your frozen palms and give you his jacket if you are cold. It is the small details that make up the mosaic of the relationship between lovers.
The guy will try to give you gifts as often as possible. It could be a small toy, a cool mug. In this matter, attention comes to the fore.
Many people confuse the concepts of love and friendship by building castles in the air and dreaming of marriage. Friends or loves, how to understand where the line is, what signs indicate friendly intentions, what indicates the seriousness of the relationship? Let's figure it out together!
Love does not love?
About love. How can you tell if a person loves you or has other intentions? Perhaps he just wants to be friends with you?
If a person constantly thinks about you, gets bored and is looking for a meeting, these are signs of falling in love. A young man calls throughout the day for trifles, asks about your business, or you receive an SMS with naive, simple questions: how are you doing? A priori, such attention cannot be given to a person who is indifferent. Small signs are signs of falling in love.
Friendship does not involve physical contact. A guy can show small signs of attention even on a subconscious level. It's easy and simple with him. The young man is always nearby. You can trust him with your secrets and be sure that he will not make your secrets public.
You can go with him to the skating rink or to the cinema in the evening. He will take you home. Stop there. It's all over. There is no desire for a farewell kiss or an offer to communicate in a more intimate setting. You don’t love me, apparently now I realized that there will be no continuation of the relationship. So, a girl can say, young man opening your soul first.
The guy may not know about your feelings and assumed his help and friendship. In that case, there will be no continuation of love or friendly relations. Therefore, each of us needs to distinguish friendship from falling in love. So as not to worry later and withdraw into yourself, withdrawing for a long time.
How can you tell if a man loves you, let's talk?
Tell me what you choose loving person? How to understand that you are loved? Meeting with friends or going to the cinema with you for a film premiere? Would he prefer fishing or a trip to his beloved mother-in-law? You are in a bad mood or sick. What will a man in love do? Will he support you, stay to help, or go hunting with friends? After analyzing the situation and the man’s actions, you will independently answer the question that interests you: “How to understand what a man loves?”
A loving person can be patient and wait a long time intimacy. When making physical contact, he will try first and foremost to please you. His feelings will not cool down after several nights spent together. He will still be gentle and affectionate.
A loving person will not leave you alone by suddenly disappearing. It won't make you worry. He will always come to your aid: he will wash the dishes, put things in order in your absence. In case of disagreement, he will try to avoid a quarrel, and not fan the flames of discord.
He won’t be late for a date, he will try to arrive earlier, waiting for you. The main thing is that he will want children from you. Remember that you can pretend to be in love. You can't imitate love!
How can you tell if your husband loves you?
All women are sensitive to “the forgetfulness of their spouse.” They don’t understand how you can not remember your beloved mother-in-law’s birthday. Why doesn't he congratulate us on the anniversary of our first meeting? Maybe he fell out of love? And many more questions are sorted into shelves in a lovely woman’s head. Remember that a man is not like you.
This is an opposite that must be respected and understood. There is no need to create a tragedy because he forgot about the anniversary, or did not congratulate your mother first. Of course this is bad. A bitter aftertaste remains. The main thing is his attention and ability to communicate with people close to you. If the spouse finds mutual language with the mother-in-law, and does not ask on the first day of her arrival when she is going home!
Doesn’t being agreeable and trying not to upset you speak about his love for you, albeit indirectly? When a child is born, the help of a spouse is invaluable. Cleaning, cooking, helping you with everything - this is your loving husband.
And stop tormenting yourself over trifles, better encourage his desire to be useful!
Friendship between a girl and a guy can be found quite often. The reasons for this may be different - some people simply like to communicate with each other, others are united by common interests. Friends go to the cinema together art exhibitions and to clubs. They like to communicate with other companies and problems in friendly relations never arise.
However, it happens that either a girl or a guy begins to understand that their relationship is more than friendship and begins to doubt their feelings, worrying that now they will not be able to be friends as before. Often this requires some kind of catalyst. For example, a friend has a girlfriend and now they spend a lot of time together, but he meets his girlfriend less and less. She begins to be jealous and soon realizes that her friend is much closer to her and it seems that these are completely different feelings, not friendly. Feelings can also be affected by separation. Having met a couple of months later, the friends realize how much they missed each other and realize that the relationship has gone beyond the border of friendship. How do you understand that love has truly emerged between friends and they can no longer just be friends?
Analyze the feelings you have for your friend.
1. Understand yourself and your feelings for the young man you are friends with. If you notice at least one of the following signs in yourself, it means that you are in love with your friend.
2. You are jealous of your friend's girlfriend. You are annoyed that they spend a lot of time together, and therefore you try in every possible way to interfere with their privacy. You ask to go on dates with them, arrange random meetings, and all in order to demonstrate to your friend’s beloved that he is not her property and that you, too, are vying for his attention.
3. If there is some tension in your relationship with your friend’s beloved, most likely she sees you as a rival, just as you see her. You just can’t find a common language, which your friend really doesn’t like. If a friend often refuses to meet you because he goes out with his girlfriend, it means that she is jealous of him, otherwise she wouldn’t mind rare walks together.
4. If you are in love, you are constantly trying to find some flaws in your friend's girlfriend. You make fun of her, calling her pompous or stupid, and never tire of repeating that she is absolutely not suitable for the young man with whom you are friends.
There is never any awkwardness between friends. They can sit and discuss events, eat chips and laugh if someone has crumbs on their lips. It’s not a problem for friends to talk about a time when they embarrassed themselves in public, as they don’t feel any embarrassment. If you are in love with a friend, you cannot behave like that. You will always try to look good and positive, and be sensitive to any criticism. It will be extremely important for you what your friend thinks of you, how you looked in front of him, so you simply cannot behave frivolously in front of him. Often in a conversation you will even stumble if you are embarrassed, because you will realize that you really like your friend.
Friends may not see each other for a couple of days or weeks and this is absolutely normal for them, since they do not feel the need to see each other every day. However, if you love your friend, you really need to know where he is now and how he spends his time. You want to call him or meet him by chance. All your thoughts are occupied with the guy, you are worried that another girl will take your place. When parting with a friend, you catch yourself thinking that you really want to meet tomorrow or at least talk on the phone.
A friend is someone you can relax with and talk nonsense to, knowing that he will try to understand everything. Scandals and conflicts rarely arise between friends. If lately your feelings for a friend have become stronger, your emotions are simply going through the roof, and scandals simply cannot help but happen between you. You will not be indifferent to the fact that he forgot to call you yesterday, forgot about the meeting, or that he made an unfortunate joke about you. In general, there will be many reasons to be offended. Out of resentment, you may even burst into tears in front of your friend, and he simply will not be able to understand why your relationship has become so tense and difficult.
When falling in love, a girl is sensitive to what her friend says and does. Therefore, if you are in love, you cannot be indifferent to what your friend drinks in large quantities or hangs out with young people obviously of dubious reputation. You will try to change it in better side, you will criticize and interfere with doing what seems wrong to you. A cigarette smoked by a friend on your part will be accompanied by a long tirade about how smoking is harmful and that he needs to take care of his health. The fact is that people in love try to treat each other with care, so they try to be aware of all their plans and always warn against possible risks. If you treat your friend in a friendly manner, you will not be bothered by the fact that he is overcome by the desire to take part in auto racing. Only a girl in love will try to stop him and talk some sense into him.
Analyze what you do together
To understand what kind of relationship you have with your friend, you can also analyze how you spend time with him, where you go and how often.
If you are in love with your friend, you try to hang out as often as possible. You don’t even want to think about dating someone, since you already feel good with your friend. On Friday and Saturday evenings you always meet with him and even if you are in company, you practically never part. If there is just friendship between you, you can meet several times a month, and that will be enough for you.
When going to a meeting with a friend, you try to look very good, choose makeup and appropriate clothes, because you simply cannot afford to look bad. Spend hours in front of the mirror and not because you think you will meet some guy with whom you can possibly start a relationship. If you come to meet a friend in sports uniform and having an unwashed head is taboo for you, which means you want to impress your friend exclusively positive impression and most likely this is another sign that you are in love.
If a friend said that you look simply amazing and this made you blush, then you are not at all indifferent to how he treats you. You hope that he has romantic intentions, since you yourself have thought about it more than once.
If you treat your friend in a friendly manner, then it is completely normal for you to hang out with him and his lover. You react normally if a friend kisses a girl and cares for her in front of you. If such a pastime annoys you, like your friend’s girlfriend, then you are in love. Your suspicions should increase if your friend’s beloved is wary of you. This means that she sees you as a rival and naturally no friendly relations can arise between you.
If you're just friends, it won't occur to anyone around you to say that you're acting like a couple. Everyone sees that there is only friendship between you and there are no ridicule or hints from your company towards you and your friend. If you are in love with your friend, there will be a couple of people who will express their guesses about this.
Note that from the outside, the situation is always seen more objectively, and if someone told you that in the presence of your friend your eyes light up and you feel embarrassed, then it is quite possible that you have a feeling of falling in love. If you think this is stupid and you just walk away from such conversations, perhaps you really are friendly towards the guy. But if these words made you blush and think that your friend is really very close to you and your friendship has become very important to you, perhaps you really have romantic feelings.
Friends can go to another city for a while and forget, tell their friend about it. They will not worry that something happened to their friend and will be convinced that everything is fine with him. However, if you are in love, you will try to tell your guy your plans, and will be interested in what he plans to do and when you can meet. Communication with a friend is very important to you and you painfully endure parting with him, which means you are either very attached to him or in love.
When your friend invites you to go out, your heart is beating wildly, and you are chaotically thinking about what to wear, then you care about how you look in front of your friend. The phone rings and you happily run up to it, hoping that it’s the guy you’re friends with? It's not like simple friendship, your feelings are definitely deeper.
Talk to your friend
If you realize that you have fallen in love, you should not drown out your feelings and pretend that nothing happened. Love is a wonderful feeling, and if there is at least one chance in a hundred that your friend also cares about you, you should definitely talk to him. Observe your friend, how often he smiles at you, how he cares for you, and you will understand the depth of his feelings for you.
Confessing your love to your friend, you have many advantages, since you know him very well and therefore can structure the conversation in such a way that neither he nor you feel awkward.
For such a conversation, you should plan everything so that no one can interfere with you. The calmest environment is still at home, so make a friend coffee, treat him to his favorite cookies and share with him the reasoning that your relationship has changed recently and you would like to know how he thinks about trying to start love relationship. By saying this, you risk absolutely nothing, because your friend already loves you and values you, which means he will never allow you to be ridiculed or offended.
If the guy doesn't mind and wants to start new stage your relationship, this is wonderful, because you have smoothly moved from the “friends” category to the “lovers” category. As a friend to your boyfriend, you will be able to trust and know that you can always rely on him.
You can hear a different answer from a friend. However, in this case, you do not lose anything, since friendship between you is already impossible. You are not going to silently look at him when he kisses other girls, and you certainly will not discuss the problems of his love relationships with him. Therefore, if you heard “No”, it is better to let your friend go, you don’t need to ask him to think, he will do it anyway, because you have given him considerable food for thought. Perhaps, realizing how much he misses you, he himself will understand that he is in love and after a while you will talk about your feelings again, but on his initiative.
Under no circumstances should you use your friendship and your mutual friends to achieve your goals. This can hopelessly ruin everything; if a guy wants a relationship with a girl, he will definitely let her know about it, especially if she previously told him about her feelings. In any case, perceive your friend’s reaction to your confession adequately and without unnecessary emotions. A girl should always hold herself proudly and not lose composure, only then will a guy respect her.
If your friend has a girlfriend, things are much more complicated. But even in this case, talking to a friend is better than constantly being tormented by jealousy and gradually spoiling your relationship with your friend. However, this does not apply to cases where you know that your friend is in love with his girlfriend and they have serious relationship. No matter how painful it is, in such cases you will have to step aside. You can gradually reduce your communication with your friend, and if he directly asks why you don’t want to communicate with him, you can tell him the truth and he will understand.
If you know that the relationship between your friend and his girlfriend is far from ideal, you have a chance to positively solve your problem. Perhaps, if you admit your feelings, you will not only save your friend from a useless relationship, but also make him happy. The main thing is that when building your new relationship with a friend, be careful and patient. Just because you were friends before doesn't mean you need to rush, be yourself and open your heart to your new lover.

I have never met people who cannot draw the line between friendship and love - this ignorance greatly affects a person’s life. In this article I want shed light on the difference between friendship and love.
Let's first understand what friendship is
Friendship is a selfless interaction based on mutual openness, complete trust and understanding, sincerity, common hobbies and interests, mutual liking, people’s devotion to each other and, accordingly, the desire to come to each other’s aid at any time. It is unselfish interaction - when relationships between friends can be called warm and caring. Friends are ready to do anything for loved one and for this help and emotional support nothing is asked in return, everything comes from the heart.
This definition means close relationships between people, in which they seem to identify themselves with another person, share their feelings, thoughts and anxieties, concerns and experiences with him. Friendship between people serves as a source and conductor of vital energy, physical and emotional well-being.
During friendship, a variety of goals can be pursued:
- Emotional(tied to the pleasure of people communicating with each other);
- Rational(based on mutual intellectual enrichment);
- Business(pursue material direction in communication);
- Moral e (aimed at moral development and improvement).
All these goals do not exist on their own, they are intertwined in our lives and at the same time, combining and complementing each other.
Deep trust and mutual understanding between people is mandatory and fundamental. If we say the same thing in the language of psychology, then friendship allows people to communicate almost without words, with the help of facial expressions, gestures, to understand and capture each other on the wave of barely traceable and perceptible movements and timbre of voice - everything that can be understood by friends and absolutely is not clear to the surrounding strangers. I think now everyone can notice the fact that we can predict the behavior and reactions of our friends in a wide variety of life situations.
Have you ever wondered What is the difference between friendship and friendship?
I'll give you a hint - from friendship, as you might have guessed, friendship is characterized by closer and closer relationships. We will never share personal information with a friend, something that we can tell only to a close person.
From love, on the contrary, less intimacy, the presence of a greater degree of reason, reason and deeper feelings.
Just like in love, friendship also has certain rules and norms - trust and devotion, openness, respect, readiness to help at any moment, the ability to understand and, of course, equality. If any of the above is violated, then the friendship collapses. Accordingly, these same components of friendship are needed for its development.
Let's move on to next question– when does friendship begin?
And it arises at the moment when the child has the first purely personal questions and problems, and this happens during growing up, in other words, during adolescence, at 12-15 years old.
At the beginning friendly relations They are friendly in nature, and then gradually develop into real strong friendships. By this time, a person has already reached moral and intellectual maturity.
Anyone at least once asked the question: "". The answer is no. Friendship differs in many ways from love precisely in that it is possible only between people of the same sex. Over time, such friendship can imperceptibly develop into a deeper feeling called LOVE. Since, following his nature, a person is able to develop from friendly relationships into sexual ones, i.e. in love.
Now let's talk about love
We have already figured out that friendship is initial stage spiritual rapprochement of people. is the final stage, the pinnacle of human rapprochement.
Love is a feeling peculiar only to man, but it is not only a feeling, but also the ability to give reciprocal feelings, to love the person who is nearby. Love requires effort and diligence, the ultimate goal of which is self-improvement. Those. in the process of making efforts, giving and receiving love, we improve ourselves.
Love is also a type of relationship between people. Here, superiority or subordination of one person to another is not allowed in any way. Just as in friendship, people are equal in relationships, no one should sacrifice themselves for the sake of the other - while everyone in such relationships does not lose anything, but only gains.
As you already know, any interaction between people is an exchange of energies. Giving your vital energy and strength in love to another person, a person thereby shares his joy with him, expanding his horizons and understanding of the world, enriching his experience, knowledge, experiences. And when we share, it means we increase what we shared many times over. By receiving and giving we replenish our spiritual wealth.
Relationships in love have such a simple sequence - a person gives in order to receive a feeling in return and receives in order to give. And those are happy in love for whom this chain is always closed. Only true love can make a person want to give. mutual love. As E. Fromm said in his book “The Art of Loving. Exploring the Nature of Love: “Giving encourages the other person to become a giver, and they both increase the joy they bring into their lives. Giving oneself is the power that gives birth to love.”
To love means to care about your neighbor, to be interested in improving the quality of his life and personal development. If such prerequisites are not observed in your behavior, then you do not truly love, this is not truly pure love. After all, love is essentially the mercy and care of a lover for a beloved being or person. This is respect, and devotion, and identifying oneself with a loved one, knowing him. Cognition lies in spiritual rapprochement, identifying oneself with a loved one.
If a person loves truly and deeply, then his love spreads to everyone who is next to him in the form of kindness, responsiveness, cordiality and simply humanity.
Well, now we have learned what love and friendship are, and we have figured out how they are similar and how they are different. I think that now you will no longer confuse friendship and love, and will draw a clear line between these two feelings.
What's between you? Love or friendship? What's the difference? Such trivial questions are asked by people faced with uncertainty in relationships. Trying to find the differences between familiarity and romance can sometimes confuse even the most philosophical minds.
Let us try to determine what is the difference and similarity between these two so similar, but completely different concepts?
One thing we can safely say is that friendship can exist without love, but love cannot exist without friendship. Friendship more often gives birth to love and passion, and true love always contains friendly notes.
Affection, familiarity, sympathy, romance, passion, friendship - these are the constituent elements of the relationship between a man and a woman.
Never before has this connection been easy to understand and flawless in flow. And only with experience, getting burned and getting caught up in life’s rake, each of us eventually finds that person with whom it is easier and easier to go through life.
How to distinguish friendship from love?
Friendship is rather a spiritual relationship between people, based on mutual interest in each other: worldview, common interests, values and thoughts. Formula for a love affair - sexual attraction, multiplied by friendship. Everything, of course, is simple in words, but in reality it is not always rosy.
Love is not just everyday relationships between people, it is emotional and physical connection between a man and a woman, who have to work hard every day so as not to lose interest in each other.
Can friendship turn into love?
A scientific discipline such as psychology believes that friendship between a guy and a girl is an artificial type of relationship. Such a connection can exist for a long time only if there is sympathy between them, as well as if there are barriers to young people becoming lovers.
However, the most prosperous and strong marriages arise when friendly relations grow up passionate and romantic. Common interests, spending time together, solving some common situations can bring friends closer together. Then, having seen and appreciated each other in action, having tested the relationship for human strength, it is easier to build a life together, adding affectionate and caring moments to it.
And then real friendship flows into attraction, and then develops into mutual, true love. History knows many romantic relationships that started between two good friends.
The line between friendship and love
When communicating with a guy, you have already initially determined the level of relationship that is acceptable to you.
If there is sympathy, you flirt and make advances, resort to other « women's things and tricks", if you are interested solely in friendship, then the manifestations will be different.
But how can you find out about the feelings of the other person?
Here you can’t get into someone else’s head and ask directly. And you don’t want to spoil your relationship with him or hurt his heart if he cares about you. Or vice versa, it is necessary to win his sympathy and transfer communication into a loving direction.
How to determine: friends or loves?
In fact, there is a lot in common between emotional attachment and familiarity, but there are also differences. To further understand how love differs from friendship, let's take a step-by-step look at the commonalities and differences between these concepts.
Similarities:
- you have a lot in common, you feel comfortable and have fun together. Any topic of conversation is not a problem for you, and there are no secrets between you;
- Quarrels do not ruin your relationship in any way. In both the first and second cases, even if you are offended by each other, you will look for ways to make peace, you will be bored and sad, as if life had lost its meaning;
- neither a friend nor a loved one will ever leave you in trouble or betray you. If you come up with a problem, they will listen to you and give you advice, wipe away your tears and help you cope with difficulties;
- if you face ridicule and attacks from the outside, then your loved ones will come to your defense, even if you yourself were wrong in some way;
- you are accepted for who you are, forgiving all shortcomings, because your inner qualities make you who you really are.
Friendship is different from love:
- when you love, you try not to part, and long separation always emotionally difficult for both partners. In friendship, everything is much simpler: you know for sure that there will be a meeting, everything will return to normal and no circumstances will harm your relationship;
- if someone flirts with your friend, you will certainly be happy for him, share good advice or make a couple of friendly barbs at him. But if someone allowed you to flirt with your loved one, this is unlikely to make you happy, but most likely, it will infuriate you and cause jealousy, even though you are perfectly sure that you are the one and only for your partner ;
- when we are friends with a person, we are overcome by the thought that we have found a brother, that it is like your reflection. In love, your partner is your other half, a part of you, without which it is unbearably difficult for you.
- in love, a person is engulfed in an uncontrollable volcano of passions, while friendships are less emotional.
Is friendship possible after love?
"Let's remain friends!"- this is how old love relationships most often end. What is this - the final point or a real desire to redirect the relationship to another level?
Of course, if no one is offended after a breakup, why not be friends?
It just so happened that you weren't right for each other. life together, however, common interests and hobbies, similar views on life, working together and mutual friends allow you to have fun together. But this delicate matter also has its pitfalls.
You're not going to remain single and completely immerse yourself in friendly relationships, are you?
Your future partner is unlikely to appreciate such devotion ex-lover. Most likely, you will remain friends only in words: a couple of comments on social networks, happy holidays several times a year.
If the scenario for the ending of your separation was initially different: resentment, hatred, sadness, despair, loneliness, indifference, then, of course, there can be no talk of any friendship.
Remember, only future romantic and affectionate affection will save you from past passion. Therefore, don’t hang your nose and look around: perhaps there is someone very close by who is looking for a meeting with you and considers you the most delightful person in the world.
Often you cannot figure out whether you love a person or whether you are just good friends. How to distinguish friendship from love? What are the similarities and differences? Let's try to figure this out.
Love and friendship, what do they have in common?
In fact, you wouldn't be asking this question unless you sensed something unusual or strange about your relationship with your friend. The truth is that there is no such thing as a long-term friendship between a guy and a girl. Sooner or later, one of you, or even both, will think about how he (she) really feels.
Love and friendship are similar to each other, and in fact, they are also components of each other. True friends love each other, although they do not show romantic feelings. Their love is based on affection and mutual respect. And lovers can be each other's friends. It's even an ideal option when that's the case. We can say that friendship includes two aspects: emotional and spiritual intimacy (emotions and beliefs), while love includes aspects of friendship and physical attraction.
Not all friends decide to cross the threshold of friendship and become a couple. Such a decision may depend on one or both of them. But more often than not, a mutual decision does lead to love.
Now let's try to understand the differences...
What is the difference?
Whether you're testing your feelings or your friend's, there are some obvious signs that can tell if either of you is experiencing the friendship as more than just friendship.
Reaction to a friend's liking for someone(your gender):
- If you are friends, you will be pleased with the feelings of your friend and will be glad to meet the object of his affection. You will help him in every possible way in the development of these feelings, because you wish him happiness.
- If you're in love into your friend, your inner feeling of jealousy will betray you. In your mind, you were already imagining yourself next to him, why did he suddenly meet someone better, but didn’t pay attention to you? Jealousy will manifest itself in the fact that you will not like your friend's choice.
Behavior in the presence of a friend:
- If you are friends, you feel completely free in the presence of a friend, no matter what state or form you are in ( home clothes, not looking the freshest, fever, terrible runny nose, whatever).
- When you're in love, you are trying to look your best in front of your friend. Are you thinking through your appearance and worry about whether he will like it. You begin to feel embarrassed in his presence and his compliments now make you feel unusual.
Personal space and freedom:
- If you are friends, you feel free to not always spend time alone with a friend. And when he's not with you, you don't worry about how he spends his time. You are individual individuals, each of whom chooses how to live, although there are some things that unite you and for which you value each other. A few days without communicating with a friend will not knock you out of your feelings and keep you up at night.
- If you fell in love into your friend, your thoughts are constantly occupied with him. You are interested in how he spends his time, and you want to be a part of this time as often as possible.
Emotions:
- When you're friends, your friendship is united by a feeling of lightness, fun, and spiritual closeness. You just feel good being around you and there is no outburst of emotions and no drama. Only positive emotions and a sea of laughter, or, conversely, calm serious conversations about life.
- When did you fall in love, new emotions are added to this palette, perhaps even quarrels. In fact, this is not a sign of mature love, but precisely of falling in love, which has not yet found its expression, but is trying to hide behind friendship. When you have to hide your crush, you can become overly sensitive and sometimes become demanding or even irritable. And all you would like is for these feelings of yours to be mutual.
Your friend's habits and behavior:
- If you are friends, you do not judge your friend for any habits and do not try to change him. Not because you don't care, but because that's the kind of friend you've become friends with. You accept him for who he is, his choice does not affect your life in any way. Although, of course, in important matters you will advise your friend the best, but you will not impose your opinion.
- If you're in love, you are very worried about your friend and are trying to protect him from everything. Perhaps you are trying to correct some of his habits or qualities, because you know that they harm him. Lovers (immature love) often also try to change things in their other half that they may not like.
What to do?
If you are convinced that the feelings of each of you are exclusively friendly, you should not start a conversation about it, everything is already in its place!
If you notice that you are in love, think carefully about your feelings and whether you should open them. You can never be normal friends after one of you has fallen in love. In general, even now this is no longer friendship in pure form... Think about whether you are emotionally mature enough to start a real relationship? If so, try talking to a friend about it. But first, we advise you to test your feelings well over time, and also monitor your friend’s behavior, is there any reciprocity in him?
Be careful not to put all your hopes in love, so that you don't get a response when you don't get a response. Life moves on anyway.
- Watch yourself and listen to your feelings and heart.
- Most relationships start with good friendship between two people.
- True friends, like true love hard to find, treasure them.
- To become a faithful companion in life, you first need to learn to be a good and faithful friend.
- It is quite possible that true friendship will eventually develop into true love.
