I agree with you, but sometimes even though we are adults, we tend to play like a teenager on a hunt for love, forgetting that as we have aged our morals, values, and proities changed, thus we engage in a playful land, without first taking the time to built the friendship first...

Awesome comment, Precious and welcome to JSH

Remember to bond the friendship first...then see whether it takes you to the other side...

But my heart does long for more than a just a friend, yes that too, but I want it too also bloom, if we see it that way...thnks Bonny

a friendship should last
forever and five day's...

One can build a relationship out of a friendship but sometimes turning a great friendship into an emotional relationship can spoil a friendship. I suppose it depends on the individuals involved. However, I personally find it hard to understand ( the older I get) what is so hard to maintain a good wholesome relationship, what,I ask is so difficult to hold together the very fibers of the events that brought two people together in the first place.................I hear answers of " We outgrew each other" " we no longer "click and the best one of all..............."[/b we are no longer in love" HELLO is love a light switch? got to hand it to us humans

for some

I know and we call ourselves...ADULTS, AWWWH, HUMBUG

if friendship is the cake, & intimacy (sex) is the frosting, I'll pass on just the frosting alone...it's a gooey sticky mess...

You can say that again Hi Allen thanks for the input...

Thank you Noden for your warm welcome. ;-)

Bonnymiss,

I think the big question is what are the fibers that brought the two people together in the first place? Most likely it wasn't a deeper connection of heart, mind, soul and shared goals and outlook on life. Perhaps one or two elements were there and as humans we long so much for connection that we are a bit hasty and jump in when we should have slowed down and explored to see if all aspects for a long term relationship are there.

Its hard because we yearn for connection and we don't like being alone - or we like the sensation of being in love more then being alone. So we are not that careful to make sure everything lines up for the long term before we jump in for what ends up being the short term.

That's why I think friendships make more sense to explore and in the long term if everything lines up then it could be "The one". If not everything lines up, then no ones heart was broken and you still have a good friend who you can share those aspects that you have in common that is enough for friendship but not enough for a soulmate.

great poem
