Whats your take on this between two people which of these statements do you believe is right try not to sit on wall by saying both thats cheating Crying or Very sad Lust then love or Friendship and then love both leading to a sexual relationship not just friendship hope this makes some sense to someone Confused


friendship then love...

lusting is just imagining for short period what you would like to happen, and wishing for a certain out come, played out in your own mind..
Friendship is finding out about the person, not just imagining what they are like, but really discovering the true them, and understanding whats in their mind also..
therefore, building stronger foundations for any type of relationship to continue..

Friendship then love then lust. A good balanced relationship has aspects of all 3.

well it is said that the stages are
1) lust
2) Attraction
3) Attachment

Biochemically speaking..lol

Lust is driven by the love hormones testosterone and oestrogen..

Attraction is the truly love-struck phase..here Dopamine, Norephiephrine (adrenalin) and serotonin are released..serotonin is the most important here and the one that can send us temporarily insane...(events occuring in the brain when in love have similarities with mental illness)

Attachment stage is when relationship will last...and involves two hormones being released..Oxytin (released by both sexes during orgasm and promotes bonding) and vasopressin..

omg..i really must get out more..lol

I was going to post something like this along these lines..v. interesting though, all of are feelings are controlled by neuro-transmitters in the brain, so right about the similarities between being slightly mentally ill & being in love, imbalances in dopamine levels is the main cause for schizophrenia & depletion of serotonin levels is the cause of depressive/psychosis type illnesses, the drug ecstasy (in a hugely amplified way) effects the serotonin uptake receptors & is called the 'love drug' as slang & cocaine effects exactly the same chemical receptors in the brain as when your in love (dopamine), I find it strange though that prozac works on exactly the same chemical in the brain as does xtc (serotonin), & one is legal & prescribed to people like giving out smarties but thats another thread. brave new world??

Yup I still see him socially, I infact introduced him to his wife and was his best 'man'. I am godmother to one of his daughters.

So I guess you can say we're as close as ever altho we dont socialise as often due to just living a fair bit apart and having different priorities in life these days. Very Happy



Wow !!! friends for life ..... that is, and has to be the best friend anyone could ask for Smile




If only I could say i had a best friend like that Smile
i know i have found my best friend and that is what makes this relationship so special

It usually goes that way but I'm never really certain if I fall in love with my friends just because they're good friends or if it's genuine love. It's a fine line at times. Although, last week my best mate did ask me back to his and I said no because it would have meant more to me than to him.



Ah lovely lady "Bowing low" I see you are holding yourself back for the right man. How would you like to come to my lodgings which are but a small walk from here and see my butterfly collection! Laughing Wink



Good god man!!!! Now just how many people have you shown your Butterfly collection to now??? Confused


Hasn't everyone seen his butterflies by now?

If you're looking for a life partner friendship is more important then lust. But if its purely a sexual relationship its lust, friendship doesn't really matter IMO.

A bit of both is best though Wink
