Is it possible to fall in love with someone you already love?

Question

Is it possible to fall in love with somebody you already feel strong love for?

A best friend for instance, is it possible to love them to pieces but then feel like you're falling in love with them in a different way?

Please be detailed, not just 'yes'.

Answer 1

YES BECAUSE YOU SEE THEM IN A DIFFRENT WAY SAY FROM TWO YEARS AGO

Answer 2

Yes, actually to me it seems like its much easier to love a best friend as a spouse because you already have that friendship love.

Answer 3

yes, cause i may be in the same situation.....

Answer 4

yes i think its possible..at first u may treat a guy like a good freind but with time u feel that u agree with him ...and step by step u may fall in love with him....

Answer 5

its perfectly normal and in fact if this is happening to you its called the perfect kind of love. have you ever heard of loving someone but hating them at the same time. or killing someone you love. or hurting them on purpose. you love your kids but you beat the c**p out of them. love isnt just one inity. its all kinds of different things. it is what it is to all people. you feel it different than i do. your kind loved the person first for who he is all the good and the bad. you saw his faults and loved him anyway. what could be better then falling in love with this person you already love. your lucky. cherish it protect it and never smother it.  

Answer 6

Of course it's possible. Anything is possible.

It's very comon to see people falling "in love" with eachother after having a very long friendship.

It's not wrong.

But sometimes, it just FEELS like you are in love, but it isn't exactly that. So it's good to really make sure.. and ask yourself things likee ..

do you see yourself with this person in the future?

:)

As you know, getting together with someone so close can cause problems.. if the relationship doesn't work out.. then the friendship might not go back to what it used to be.

So you have to be really sure. =]

Answer 7

yeah.  You love them as a friend then you get to know them better and agree more.  Then your mind starts going, and even though it is probably just a crush that you think is love you think that you are really good friends with them that it could be love.you will probably get over them and just love them as a friend.  But it could happen.

Answer 8

Absolutely, and you put it very well.  Maybe I've just called it a "deeper appreciation" for who my love is and is becoming.  People grow and mature - and sometimes we improve.  

When someone is loyal, kind or I feel especially close or even closer to them, it feels like you're falling in love all over again.  

Isn't that a great feeling?!  People usually feel the opposite with me, it starts out great and goes downhill steadily!  :-(

Answer 9

Yes I think you can

You can be in love with someone, fall out of love and then meet them again or see them again and it start to happen all over again.

and in a friend situation... of course

the greatest relationships come from those who started out as friends.
