Naked hugging usually... until you cross that line it's all platonic.0

Nudity
Edit: Damn it. Late again0 -
When you feel that tingle. You know THE one!!! Well that'd make them lover material.. but if both of you are feeling THE tingle then...0

You are happy to see a friend. A lover is someone who your heart skips around at the thought of seeing them, and you can think about nothing else.
Until you've been married a few years. Then the line starts to blur.0 -

Ha. Very true!
I agree with the heart skipping a beat response - or at least that's how it should start, in my opinion.
Of course, eventually the feeling of wanting to be naked with that person 24 / 7 fades (according to science, it can only last 2 years tops but I'm sure there are others who have experienced it longer) and hopefully you have the friendship, warmth, and loving feelings to fall back on in your relationship. Oh, and hopefully you still at least occasionally want to get it on with that person.0 -
We do need like buttons!0

When you both start to find each other sexually attractive and cross that line beyond what "just good friends" do.0

Sex
But why would you have sex with one and not another? Booze or attraction? LOL!0 -
Money.0

HAHA! This thread is cracking me up! :bigsmile:0 -
I think sex ruins things unless there is security. Yes, this is coming from a girl...but still. You can't pretend that sex makes a great friendship better...
My vote is security.0 -
Total intimacy,physical and emotional.
A friend you lean on,a lover you bond with.0 -
I did not know a lover is supposed to be your best friend. hmmm. Guess I messed up a few times in my life! LOL0

The feelings don't stop after several years of marriage, they just shift into something more steady, kind of like a consistent warm glow instead of the flash and bang. Of course, if the two of you work at it the flash and bang still happens too:devil:
P.S. I've been happily married for almost 15 years0 -
Mutual physical attraction that leads to sex. I don't think you need security or an emotional attachment to the person, other than what you had as friends. But, when I hear "lover" I think a sexual partner, not someone you are necessarily 'in love' with.0
