Love or friendship?

Love or friendship?

What is love ? What is friendship ? When do you know if he or she is the right person for you ?

Read Nelly’s letter to the problem page of a teenage magazine:

"Hi this is my problem. I have been going out  with a boy for almost one month and a half but I am thinking of  breaking up because I used to get on really well with him but I am not so happy about our relationship now... I don’t feel so much at ease ... I wish it were  like it was before, that is to say just very good friends ... I do not know how to tell him, could you give mesome tips: Should I tell him I want to break up  and how could I tell him?

 "I thought it would be better to meet him somewhere to talk to him becauseI'm not the one to say that on the phone or just by sending a message ... Also Iwould like to know : How shall I know if it’s real love or just friendship? But Ithink I am making  the right decision because if I really loved him I would probably try to see him more  more often but this is not really the case ...Thank you!

The speciallist answer

Exine is the  adviser/ councellor/expert. Read her answer and say what you agree with or don’t agree with.

Miss Exine: Hi Nelly

You're 100% right in wanting to take the time to have a cool discussion with him. If you don’t want to regret  anything, do not break up flatly but you should inform him of  your intention. Why don’t the two of you think over it with a clear head?If I were you I would get his opinion on the subject. Tell him you don’t feel  the same freedom of expression as before.
It could be that you are not really ready to get more involved in a love relationship That could explain your confusion and your discomfort. . Explain that you need more of  a  loving friendship to will give you all the chances and possibilities of change. Whatever the outcome, at worst, you will remain friends, and there will be  no cries, no tears, no harassment! Go back to went everything was fine. You could explain to him that your relationship has become too involved and you don’t feel ready for that!

Jane Thomson: For me friendship is about love.  Sarah is my best friend because she cares about me. That´s why she is so important to me.
