How to see the fine line between friendship and love? What are the differences? After all, these are two concepts that are so closely intertwined with each other. Friendship is a trusting relationship between two people, which is based on: common interests, understanding, respect, mutual assistance, honesty and affection. Friendships take years to form. In friendship, a person becomes family, as if it were a sister or brother. The fundamental qualities of friendship are: selflessness, honesty, affection and duration. Love is a feeling of deep affection and the desire to build a joint future with this person. Love involves sexual attraction. These are the main criteria for distinguishing friendship from love. In friendly relationships, men and women identify several signs that can confirm the fact that the relationship will not go beyond friendship: There is no physical attraction to a friend. Moreover, such thoughts do not even occur to me. If there is no sexual desire, then these relationships can be regarded as friendly. And if there is, then this is at least love. Friends can build a personal life - there is personal space. If there is a loved one, then this will not cause jealousy in a friend, but rather joy. There are no prohibitions on personal life. A friend will not put a spoke in the wheels of building a personal life, but on the contrary, he will help and try to introduce you to potential partners. Alcohol cannot in any way affect friendly relationships. It doesn’t matter how much you drink, if you are real friends, then there is no hint of a romantic relationship. Friendship between a woman and a man is good when the woman’s priority is her loved one, and the man’s priority is his beloved. If this line is violated and a friend can leave everything, including his loved one, and runs to his girlfriend/boyfriend, then clearly this relationship is far from friendly. If any of the above points seems to you to be incompatible with your picture of the world about friendship, then I can help you congratulations, you and your friend are clearly not “just friends”, but something more
