What's the difference between being in a relationship with someone vs just being really really good friends? Is there a difference?

As you've phrased the question, there is no different. A relationship is a relationship... If you're talking about an INTIMATE relationship and being really, really good friends, then we're picking nits. Intimate relationships are where we share our inner selves with other people.

I would hope that this is the same as "being really, really good friends".

To younger people (typically) "being in a relationship" means you're dating, with a strong leaning in the direction of "exclusively". Being really good friends typically excludes certain "benefits" or activities that people "in a relationship" do. Like deep kissing or intimate touching or sex."Friends with benefits" is a cross between the two, generally with the understanding it is NOT exclusive.

Just a matter of mutual desire, convenience and timing. Also it is usually observed by individuals who are not "in a relationship" or who are "just really good friends". Even with all that being narrowed down, I agree with drmatt.

Whatever you call it, a relationship is just that. I have a relationship with you right now, albeit a passing, text based, one time thing, "without benefits". :).

Sure there's a difference, but maybe not in the way you think. My best friend and I have a fantastic relationship - but not the same kind I have with my wife. Also, I have a relationship with HER best friend, but not in the same way.

You're in a relationship with someone if you invest time and effort into caring for that person. That doesn't necissarily mean you're in LOVE with the person, but a relationship still means you're close to the person. Now, that's not to say one person in the relationship may be in love witht he other (not me and my best bro, but I think you see my point).

In fact, that's how my wife and I got together: we were very good friends, and then it became more. Don't fight the feeling if you've got it. Hope that is clear as mud...? Best wishes!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
