So what's the difference between a friendship and a relationship?

Friendships

What is a good friend? For most of us a friend is a person you can trust, be honest with and share interests with. Someone you respect and can rely on, who maybe has a sense of humour like yours.

Relationships

The new thing is the feeling of sexual attraction between you and the other person. Can we still be friends if we have a relationship?

Of course you can still be friends when you have a relationship, but your friendship will change when sexual attraction and the possibility of a sexual relationship comes into it. You may find yourself feeling strongly attracted to another person, wanting to be near them and thinking about them a lot.
