How to Find True Love Within a Friendship

Last Updated: October 17, 2020

True love is happiness, true love is sharing your world with your dearest. How do you turn friendship into love, and is there a fine line between the two? Here is a simple guide to seeking out love in your deepest of friendships.

Steps

1
Be considerate, caring and thoughtful towards the person. If the person is in trouble, help them out. If the person is happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, be a shoulder to cry on.
2
Spend a plenty of time with them. If you're really good friends with the person, go into town to catch a coffee, invite them on walks, or just invite them to your house for a bit of a catch up. The possibilities are endless - just make sure you know them well enough to feel comfortable having deep conversations and sharing your world with them, you don't want them to be creeped out with your sudden eagerness and interest.

Help them out once in a while. If they're struggling in a subject at school, go over a few topics with them. If they're having a bit of crisis in work, let them confide in you, if they're having problems with family and friends give good, sensible advice. The bottom line is - be caring.
4
Have a laugh with them - crack jokes when together and let your walls come down, in other words be open. Have opinion, express your views and be the real you.
5
Eye contact is critical. Always look them in the eye. As some say, the gateway to a person's soul, is through their eyes.
6
If you two become close and find love with each other, be caring, loving and friendly. Try to not have any arguments, even though they can easily happen, don't ever cheat and always look your best for them. Respect them, guys especially love respect.

Community Q&A

Question

I am in love with a girl that I have made a friend. She is a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and her religion makes it very difficult to date. I love her; how do I win her over in her religion?

Community Answer

Just get to know her religion, and be yourself. Tell her that you have feelings for her and see if there is a chance.
Question

I have a friend with whom I share my deepest thoughts and feelings. He seems to care about me. How I can find out if he is in love with me?

Community Answer

The easiest way is to ask him point blank, but if that intimidates you, talk to one of his friends and see if he/she knows anything.
Question

I am in love with a person who loves someone else, who does not love her at all. Should I let go or fight for her?

Community Answer

You should talk to her and have a face-to-face conversation. Ask her if she really loves this person. If she does, then just be there for her as a friend. If she decides that she doesn't love this person, then you can make a move. You can fight for her, but that is all up to you.

Warnings

Try to stay friends, it's the least you can do.

Obsession can easily happen. Don't obsess over the person, i.e. always texting, ringing and Facebooking them. Give them space.

If you feel that the person does not feel the same as you might do, Try to not be too down in the dumps, even though is hard you can get through it.
