How to Differentiate Between Love and Friendship?
"You've been close friends with a member of the opposite sex for a while, and it has never been a problem. Until now. Suddenly, you're starting to doubt your feelings or to feel something new, and you can't help but ask yourself: is it love or friendship? Maybe other people have hinted that you and your friend are really in love. Maybe you've started to suspect that something is up when you got all jealous about your friend's new girlfriend. Whatever your reason for coming here, it's time to dig deep and figure out how you and your friend really feel about each other."
Part 1 of 3: Analyzing What You Feel
- Do your friend's significant others always like you a lot? If so, then this may also mean you're just friends. If they like you, then they don't see you as a threat.
- Think about it: does your friend just have a track record for dating horrible people? Or is it something more?
- Of course, when you find true love, you may eventually feel 100% comfortable around that person, too. But the courtship phase will most likely be filled with nervousness and uncertainty.
- If you find yourself suddenly caring how you looked or "came off' in front of your friend, then you may really be falling in love.
- This doesn't mean that you may not be a little hurt if you completely don't hear from your friend when you're used to talking a lot. But you shouldn't care that much.
- Low drama. That's why you're friends, isn't it?
- If you feel like your fights are long, passionate, and deep, then yeah, you may be more than just typical friends.
- Friends tend to take each other at face value. They don't generally try to change each other unless one person is engaging in harmful behavior because they aren't in a relationship and don't have to make every little thing work.
- Of course, you may just be feeling like an older sister looking out for a younger brother, or an older brother looking out for a younger sister. But it could be something more...
Part 2 of 3: Analyzing What You Do Together
- 1If you're just friends, then you and your friend split up on date nights. Has Friday or Saturday night rolled around? If so, then it may be common for you and your friend to take a night off or two from hanging out so you can spend some time going on dates or browsing through the cute potential matches in your OkCupid profiles. Sure, you can hang out with a big group on one or both of those nights, but as a generally rule, you don't stay in together on a Friday night--there are too many other things going on.
- 2If you're in love, then you and your friend regularly hang out on typical "date" nights. If you're really in love, then you may have been going on dates for months, or even longer, without realizing it. Do you try to look nice, get picked up promptly, and go to the movies, a nice dinner, a concert, or other date-like events with the person who is supposedly just your friend? You may have been dating for a long time without even realizing it.
- Think about it. Why would you choose to spend Friday night in or Saturday night out with your best friend instead of all of the other dating options out there?
- Who pays for the "non-dates"? Does the guy always pay? If so, it's even more of a sign that you are dating.'
- 3If you're just friends, then you can show up at your friend's house in a sweatsuit. This is another sign that you're so comfortable with your friend that you don't really see the situation as having any romantic undertones. You can show up at your friend's house in a sweatsuit, in your pajamas, or after a sweaty workout at the gym. Why would you care about your looks if you're not trying to impress your friend? This one is a no brainer.
- 4If you're in love, then you've started to care about your looks before you see your friend. Have you suddenly spent much more time grooming, looking in the mirror, or being generally unhappy with your outfit before you go and see your friend? If so, then it's because you're starting to wonder if your friend sees you in a romantic light. Why else would you put on a brand new outfit before seeing your friend, check your face or makeup in the mirror five thousand times when you hang out, or generally feel like you should look a little bit nicer around your friend?
- Have you found that your friend has started to compliment your looks more? Does it make you blush, or just feel like it's perfectly normal? If you're blushing, then it may be because you feel your friend has romantic intentions.
- 5If you're just friends, then you can hang out with your friend and his significant other and it's no big deal. If you really don't like your friend, then you can feel totally comfortable around his significant other and it never feels weird or like he or she is just waiting for you to leave. The feeling should be mutual--the significant other should also feel comfortable around you because you aren't seen as a threat.
- 6If you're in love, then you can't hang out with your friend and his love interest. It goes without saying that you can't hang out with your friend when he or she is with his or her significant other, or with his or her significant other and his or her friends, because it just wouldn't feel right. Maybe you take turns: he or she sees you one night, and the significant other the next...sound a little weird? It may be. It may feel like your friend is dating the significant other and you.
- Maybe you've never thought about it before. But if you're really just friends, why do you feel so awkward if you run into your friend and his significant other?
- 7If you're just friends, then everyone around you understands your relationship. Maybe you really have been life long buddies since the 4th grade and everybody understands how you work. Though feelings change, if everyone around you gets what the score is and there's no awkwardness or constant questions or second guessing, then hey, maybe you really just are friends. Sometimes the people around you can pick up on things faster than you can, and if there's nothing to pick up on, then maybe you really are just friends.
- 8If you're in love...then maybe 500 of your closest friends and family members have asked about it. Though this doesn't necessarily mean you're in love, if every person on the planet has come up to you and asked what the deal is with you and your friend, then maybe something really is up. This is more than just your mother's wishful thinking--if everyone in your orbit can see your chemistry and really knows how much you like each other, then there may be some truth to their words.
- It's true: people can completely misread the situation. But the more people who think something is up, the more likely they are to be right, in this case.
- Think about how you respond when you're asked these questions. Do you just roll your eyes and brush these people off, or do you blush and get really defensive whenever the question of your supposed "love" comes up?
- 9If you're just friends, then you can leave town for a few days without checking in. This is a sign of true friendship. You know you're both fine and don't have to call, text, or see each other every five seconds just to feel connected. If you're friends only, then waiting a few days to make contact should be no big deal, unless something important is up. What's your communication style?
- Think about how you feel when the phone rings and you know it's your "friend" calling. Does your heart skip a beat, or is it NBD?
Part 3 of 3: Finding Out the Truth
- Don't bring it up unless it comes up naturally and you want to clear the air. Why stir the pot?
- If you really do think that there is serious dating potential there, than go for it. That's different from thinking, "It might be kinda cool to hook up with my friend..." If you think that you and your friend can have a casual fling and then go back to normal, think again.
- Don't be nervous about taking the plunge. This is your old friend we're talking about, remember?
- If your friend doesn't return your romantic feelings, then act like it's no big deal. Get some space for a while and then see if you can slowly go back to being friends. If it hurts too much to be around your friend, then there's no shame in easing up on the friendship for a while.
- If your friend does say he or she likes you back, and is maybe even falling in love with you, too, then you have your work cut out for you. Don't fret--this is a good thing! Now, you can slowly start to ease into the relationship. Remember to take it one day at a time instead of becoming obsessed with each other; even though you were friends before, you don't want to rush in and then get hurt if it doesn't work out. Now away with you--and good luck!
