And so we ask, is entering the relationship really have to be differentiated with friendship that it makes such decisions a predicament for most people? And if it does, is there always a need to put an end in a relationship when both feel that they have lost what they used to feel for each other? .
In a lifetime, a person will meet innumerable people from his daily activities. Everybody can be a friend, if one wills it. Most of the time, it is up to the person whether the friendship continues to grow after the acquaintance or simply be passed on to memory. Even if such relationships end immediately, s/he remains happy about the experience of meeting new people and moving on without any worries. Being a friend involves less emotional attachment as compared to being in a relationship. The exclusivity of having a special someone requires a degree of attention, time and responsibility solely for the person. Friendship is one thing, but letting go of all inhibitions and taking a chance on a relationship is seen as something greater, something different. The rush of feelings and intimacy signals to one party that hopefully s/he can achieve more than friendship. .
Many people often misconstrue these "feelings- as signs and so they enter into a "relationship of romance,"" a.k.a. boyfriend-girlfriend relationship while some other maintain a wait-and-see attitude and still be in a "friendly relationship,"" or just-friends relationship. People sometimes choose the latter because they are afraid that the feeling that they are experiencing at the moment may sooner or later fade away. It is just like what Peck described as the "peak experience-, once you reach the height of the feeling and bliss associated with being with each other "of falling in love, the feeling just fades and you then fall out of love. The feeling is temporary, fleeting and will eventually lose its binding influence. This idea is usually dreaded since no one would like to enter something that has an inevitable end.
