In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, social psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

Cicero had his own beliefs on friendship. Cicero believed that in order to have a true friendship with someone one must have complete honesty, truth and trust. Also, friends do things for each other without expectation of repayment. If a friend is about to do something wrong, one should not compromise one's morals. One should explain what is wrong about the action, and help one's friend understand what is right, because Cicero believed that ignorance is the cause of evil. Finally, friendships come to an end because one person in the friendship becomes evil. (On Friendship, Cicero)

what is the difference between a relationship ans a friendship that involves?
Q. being best friends, being completely honest to one another, holding each other, dreaming together, making love, adoring one another, butterflies, hours flying by during conversations & just the most fulfilling and addicting friendship you've ever experienced? could something like this ever stay this way? what usually comes of something like this that feels so perfect up until the moment right before you know you have to say goodbye?? what happens to friendships like this, do they usually go on for years? how come it's so easy to act like his friends one moment and his lover the next?

what is the difference between romantic love and friendship?
Q. I'm working on a story where a guy has two female friends. One he's romantically interested in and the other one is like a sister. I want to show that he's not romantically interested in the one that is like a sister. To do that, I have to know the difference between romance and friendship and how people treat each other differently in those two situations so I can come up with a scene that would hopefully show what I want it to. What does everybody think?

A. Ok just GF is: do fun things together, but not think about her the whole time, and NOT send each other annoying SMS'jes like "sleep well honeybee" etc. a steamy hot romantic love is: walking hand in hand on a beach, dinner with each other at the sea, hold each others hand while going to the movies, teasing each other, one huge kiss before you go to bed, call echother if they came home fine... etc. you'll get the point eventually ;) good luck writing your book due
