When people first fall in love we dont know the person so its a mystery and we look for them everywhere they go. Once we find that one special person we get to know them and loose part of our innocence.
Love is a bunch of memories not expierences. We reach a part when we want to have the thrill of romantic love at which point we either move on or get serious. Often times they get serious. In a long lasting relationship you start to see things that make your heart jump just like the first time you saw the person you love.
In your expierences do you feel that you can learn more about someone if you romantically love them or if you have a friendship love?

I believe that you can learn more from someone romantically and if you have a friendship love. The only way to have a good romantic relationship is to be friends with the person first. Once you are friends then it is easier to learn more about the person. Friendship love is different then romantic love because there are many friends that you love because you have known them for a long time. However, there may not be many people you had or want a romantic relationship with. I think it all depends on your personality.
I think that when you start out as friends, you're still not ready to spill out everything to that person. It really depends on how close you are to that person and the trust level. If you're good friends, you'll probably feel more comfortable to share secrets and things about yourself. Romantically, you feel a strong connect from the start and really want to get to know the person. Hopefully, it's the personally that attracts you to the person, and not just based on looks. The feeling also has to be mutual. In my case, I'm more willing to share things about myself to people I trust and who I'm closer friends with. It's all a matter of who I'd trust more.

I think that you can learn things about people with both kinds of love. They are both important to people and we need them both. Also, realistically in any long term relationship you must also have a friendship otherwise I believe that romantic love on its own will fade away if there isn't also an element of friendship love as well.
I think in order to find out more about someone, you need to be friends first. When you're in a relationship, it's not as easy to talk about random interests because you're too focused on your significant other. If you start off friends, and work your way to best friends, your friendship and relationship will grow stronger and you will actually know the person and how he/she is like. In my opinion, that is the only way you can really know someone. So I think friendship love is stronger than romantic love in some sense; but you can feel both at the same time for someone.

I think that you find out more things if you know someone as a friend and love them as a friend first, rather then love then romantically, because the saying goes "Love is blinding", so if you love someone romantically, you don't see their flaws, so I suppose you learn less. As for which one is better, that's a personal opinion.

i think that you will find out different things about a person in the different relationships. i feel in a friendly relationship you will learn about the person and you may tell things to each other but a romantic relationship is more. in this relationship you can tell more to that person and you can trust and know that that person will be there for you because you share such heavy feelings for one another.

I believe with both types of love, you learn a lot about a person, but you learn different things. I feel that friendship love is strictly restricted to learning things you would learn about friends, but romantic love is deeper, and you learn more about one another because you have a relationship on a deeper level. I also agree with mrs hunt that if you only have romantic love, then it will soon fade away because you dont know the person on any other level then romance. I feel it is a lot easier to learn a lot about a person if you become friends first and then move onto romance after.

Though romantic love and friendship love are two very different types of love, we need both in our lives. However, I believe the strongest kind of love is through friendship, because you do learn more about someone that way. Whether you move on to become romantically involved, you should always start off as friends because truly knowing someone beforehand should be a huge part of falling in love with them. Relationships starting off as purely romantic usually tend to have a more difficult time in the future because you have no idea of who that other person really is...what are their pet peeves? How many siblings do they have? What's their favorite color? These are all little details, but become very significant when spending time with that person. So, i believe through friendship love you learn more because you can develop a strong bond that is very different than a romantic one. That in itself is more intimate than a romantic love.
I think that it is important to have a friendship love with someone. When someone is romantically involved with someone, they tend to act differently, and not entirely their true self because they are sort of making themselves look good for the other person, and making it so the other person will love them. Having a friendship love, both people shoud be able to act like themselves, and love each other for who they are, and not who they are trying to be.
I think that u can learn more about a person if you have a friendship more so than a romantic relationship. I say this because you can learn how a person is being a friend first because i feel thats when many ppl open up first is being a good friend to someone. You can also learn alot about a person romantically but i feel that it will be different because they mightbe afraid to share certain things with you.
