ave you ever wondered how to build the perfect relationship? Do you want to be a guys friend, but are afraid that it can't become more then that once friendship status is achieved? Do you long to make a guy fall in love with you? Are you searching for love and for a great relationship? You certainly aren't alone. Contrary to what most women think, to build the perfect relationship one needs to start with friendship.

It is often believed that friendship and romance just can't mix. Somewhere along the line women were taught that once you achieved friendship status you were doomed to remain there and only there forever. However, it is the emotional connection between a man and a woman that causes the man to fall in love. This is a lot harder for him than it is for her. It must be cultivated and it must go beyond physical attraction.

Studies have shown that relationships that start out as friendships have a better chance of making it long term. This is because the emotional bonds that are required during friendship are harder to break than those that are developed over physical contact. So, how does one build the perfect relationship? How does one become his friend and his one and only?

• Avoid a sexual relationship until the friendship has been developed. No matter how hard this is to do it is important. Guys find it easy to feel that sexual relationships are the same as other relationships or at least temporarily fulfilling. Because of that you need to hold off and develop something deeper first.

• Spend enough time together to get to know each other and to start depending on one another. At the same time spend enough time apart for him to realize what he would miss should you be gone from his life.

• Talk to him. Be honest and open and share yourself with him. At the same time listen to the things he says and be interested in the things he is interested in.

Developing a friendship takes time and work. But it makes a huge difference in the long run because you will find a relationship that is stronger and lasts longer. Once the friendship is developed then move on with the relationship. This is the key to building the perfect relationship.
