[b]FRIENDSHIP OR RELATIONSHIP? WHICH ONE IS MORE IMPT??[/b] Well i think for me, its both important to make u a whole person. Although friendship stage comes first before a lasting relationship, Friendship or Relationship, or in other sense Friends and Lovers though connected in someways are REALLY DIFFERENT from each other. Your FRIENDS --they are imoprtant to u because they will be the ones you can be with in ur everyday life in school, office or wherever u may go. They are the person/people who will always willing to listen to u, understand u, and support u, and they accept u as who u really are... And they are very important to u for your social life. So as the relationship for your loved one-- you also know how they are important to u. He/She might be the one who you could share your love and life for the rest of your lives till death... This very special someone (if he/she is the right one) is person you can share your deepest love "intimately" --u know what i mean... that you can never do neither among your friends. So, friends and lovers cant be perceived interchangeably. Because they are different. And u need them both. Better take care of them, they make u a complete person. Thats all!
