Friends can be Lovers but Lovers can't be Friends?

Agree ! Welcome to the "complexity" of the word "Love" !!

I disagree; I think you have it backwards.

Moving friendship to the "lover" phase changes the dynamics of the relationship; but working hard to maintain a great and "friendly" relationship with your lover is possible and very rewarding.

Your question reminds me of the movie When Harry Met Sally and they are in the airport talking about this topic. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

It is hard to just say "agree or disagree", because the question is true and false and has so many other factors to consider. Even if you try an answer in just a general way.. the question is still "true and false" so.. I will agree and disagree and I have already stated why.

Lovers can be friends because the love is a kind of friendship

I disagree because not all lovers are the same.

agree..because when they break up with their lover they will feel uncomfortable to stay together and chit chat like a friend because they have their own history.and then when both of them found other lovers and build a new relationship they must take care of others feeling..

Sometimes. But it's no mystery why. Lovers can often crush any friendship when they replace it with romantic 'love', which more often than not has an element of jealousy built into it.

It's only a pop wisdom saying.

Depends if your lover is someone you would want as a friend.

They are mutually inclusive as in either case,the basic premise is common ie trust and faith.

agree

that is what i heard..... i am sure it has been done... but they have to be strong willed..people...like elaine.. and jerry on seinfeld
