Do you think, that the real true love begins as a friendship?

Sometimes... but I'd say lust is the match that lites most fires. And all fires can cook something tasty or something nasty, it just depends on the cooks.

I believe   true love starts with the relationship you have with yourself......... once you have mastered true love for yourself.... only true love for others and from others can occur........

I agree with reality... It is generally because that person was there for them through many life changing experiences during that stage of life. They formed a bond by practically maturing together. And plus, chnaces are they spoke about what life wub be like together when they are grown and they want it to materialize. I think such relationships have the capacity to become purely friendship based but I know cases where the two remain in love, get married, have kids, the whole nine yards and are still lovers, not just friends.

No that's called a Rival. But that can also form a strong bond that can sometime develope into friendship.

I think eventually one of the "friends" is going to develop stronger feelings if they haven't already and are just acting like they don't.  It is hard to be intimate with someone without romantic attachments....maybe not at first but in the end.

True love is not something that just happens. True Love is the result of two people who come together and are able to understand the needs they can and can not fulfil for the other person. Then, they work dilligently to meet those needs that they can.  (no one person can meet all of your needs) This creates the happiness that is associated with what we consider "True Love". I believe we can have "True Love" with many people in this world. Although there may be the *potential* for True Love with some, if they are unprepared and unwilling to do the work it takes to make a "forever relationship" actually be just that, *forever*, then they can never manifest that True Love WITH you. At that point you must know that there are others out there who may be capeable of creating this kind of love with you. But first and foremost, YOU must be "THE ONE" and then you should be able to attract YOUR ONE, to you. Never let the concept of True Love capture you in a bad relationship. I've always found a lot of freedom in the following quote "I love you, but it doesn't mean I have to live my life with you." Good luck in becoming and finding The One.

I see nothing wrong with that. I think my best friend and I have something...but we don't act on it, but if we were to i think it might be one of the best relationships ever...cause we were friends first..and I believe that you should be friends first and continue to be friends when you have a relationship with someone.

True, endless love? Absolutely yes!\n\nThe poets sing and the philosophers dream, and we mortals aspire to that highest grace -- love.\n\nPure, absolute, unconditional, undying love ... \n\nI found my true love -- my soul-mate -- and I shall love her to the end of my days and unto any world to come, no matter what. We have thus far crossed many distances and hard paths while our love grows more all the time. I will walk through this world with her, and even if some cruel design of fate should take her from me, she will still forever be my only true love.

I think it's possible, though I've only experienced love once, and it wasn't that kind. I've always held onto hopes of finding a love like that, and I've seen some friends who appear to have that type, though in the end, everything seems to end.

After my ex broke up with me, I was considering the possiblity of a friendship. A friend of mine asked me a question..."True or false, given the opportunity you would rather date him than just be friends" I answered "True".   He told me that you can only really be friends when you can answer that question "False" and actually mean it without lying to yourself. \n\nI now live by that and am happily in a friendship with an ex. IT CAN HAPPEN!

If it was "real" love, you would still be in relationship.  I think first love is usually an infatuation.

Yes I have, but in the end, I know it was for the best!\n\nEnding a close friendship is always hard, but presumably there is a good reason for it to begin with, and you've considered it fully.
