It is an interusting topic, isn't it?

Not particularly. I think that it's been done to death here anyway.

Some people are going to say that a lover is someone that you have sex with and others are going to say that it isn't. Personally though, I've got ex lovers that I have stayed in touch with as friends and the difference seems pretty simple to me. It's just friendship and I'm not having sex with them.

not a whole lot. just thst a lover you are in an intimate relationship with whereas not so with the others :)

If a person does not know the difference then they dont have any experience with either and that is indeed a predicament.. Similary, the only way to know evil is to live evil...

Sometimes nothing, other times everything...

This should be more of a question of what is the difference between friend and acquaintance. Friends you love unconditionally. Lovers you love unconditionally, the only difference there is love, sex, and other types of romanticism that you wouldn't do with your friends. Acquaintances on the other hand, are people you know, and just use you to get what they need.

Sex.

Some one who doesn't know the difference would be neither in my book.

Same here.

Again.....confusion, confusion, confusion over a simple thing: For a man the difference is very simple and very clear: A lover soils your pants, whilst a friend irons them. Those that are both are called a 'wife.' M.C.P.

Sex.

Cute answer but might be a tad more to it than sex.

What's cute about it? I have friends that I don't have sex with and I have "lovers" that I do? Not very complex.

Also I was giving MY opinion to the OP's question; in MY opinion, that's what separates MY friends from MY lovers, the question wasn't about what you thought someone else thought about the topic.

I've seen quite a few comments you've made on this site, that I didn't agree with at all, and I didn't criticize or belittle you for making them, I'd appreciate the same courtesy. Thanks.

Well hopefully they are both my friend and lover, I don't want a lover who is not my friend....then again some friends need to stay in that zone,

Friends never break up with you...lovers always do.

Tip #1: never believe a lover who wants to be "just friends"...You know damn well that's the last time you'll ever see them.

Tip #2: Never trust a friend who wants to be your lover...You know damn well that s/he isn't really your friend and will end up being "just a friend" you'll never see again.

Tip#3: stay close with the one you liked to play "house" with as kids before you even knew what sex was. Chances are especially good that if you potty-trained together, you stand a chance of marrying and staying with your best friend AND lover for the rest of your lives.

Double post.

My apology. My remark was not a critique but actually a compliment.

And my own comment which was on topic not your remark.

You are totally free to your opinions. As I was under the impression by site rules so am I.

I will keep in mind you want no exchange about your opinions. Have a blessed life.
