An interpersonal relationship is an association between two or more people that may range from fleeting to enduring. This association may be based on limerence, love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage, associates, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and churches. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole. Although humans are fundamentally social creatures, interpersonal relationships are not always healthy. Examples of unhealthy relationships include abusive relationships and codependence.

A relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate relationship, or a parent-child relationship. Individuals can also have relationships with groups of people, such as the relation between a pastor and his congregation, an uncle and a family, or a mayor and a town. Finally, groups or even nations may have relations with each other, though this is a much broader domain than that covered under the topic of interpersonal relationships. See such articles as international relations for more information on associations between groups. Most scholarly work on relationships focuses on romantic partners in pairs or dyads. These intimate relationships are, however, only a small subset of interpersonal relationships.

These relationships usually involve some level of interdependence. People in a relationship tend to influence each other, share their thoughts and feelings, and engage in activities together. Because of this interdependence, most things that change or impact one member of the relationship will have some level of impact on the other member. The study of interpersonal relationships involves several branches of the social sciences, including such disciplines as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and social work.

What particular aspects in an individual's chart would explain/indicate a total lack of friendships?
Q. I'm not talking about an antisocial, reclusive, or otherwise misanthropic attitude - or someone not wanting, or not pursuing friendships - I mean a person who just simply has no friends. What would explain this?

Do you think close platonic friendships between a man and a woman can truly exist?
Q. I've come to realize that with every guy I've considered my best friend, after a while, one of us fell for the other. I'm not saying that platonic friendships between men and women DON'T exist, I'm saying I don't think they can exist when two straight people of the opposite sex are that close. What do you think?

A. sometimes they can happen and work out. But I think ONLY when both feel mutual that they do not like the other in a romantic way. if one person feels more than the other kiss the friendship goodbye or if you have made out etc or been together at one point it won't work out.
