How to Differentiate Between Love and Friendship
( SOURCE: http://www.wikihow.com/Differentiate-Between-Love-and-Friendship )
You've been close friends with a member of your preferred gender(s) for a while, and it has never been a problem. Until now. Suddenly, you're starting to doubt your feelings or to feel something new, and you can't help but ask yourself: is it love or friendship? Maybe other people have hinted that you and your friend are really in love. Maybe you've started to suspect that something is up when you got all jealous about your friend's new girlfriend. Whatever your reason for coming here, it's time to dig deep and figure out how you and your friend really feel about each other.
Analyzing What You Feel
1. If you're just friends, then you feel genuinely happy if your friend is dating someone. This one is a dead giveaway. When your "friend" tells you he's met someone new, and that this person may be the one, or just that this person is so amazing that you just have to drop everything and meet her, what is your first response? If you're truly happy for your friend and can't wait to meet the special person in his life, then you may be just friends.
- Do your friend's significant others always like you a lot? If so, then this may also mean you're just friends. If they like you, then they don't see you as a threat.
