I agree with Mr, Cork and Mynd_44. Both relay the same meaning. A friendship is a relationship and a relationship is a friendship. You can't have one without the other. |

A relationship infers that a closer bonding is in place than could be possible with mere friendship. |

Relationship as in an intimate one? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between A Relationship And A Friendship? by Fulllips(f): 1:20am On Jul 23, 2011 |
A "friend" is a classification of a relationship. So they are intrinsically interconnected. But the boundaries of a relationship are dictated by those who are in that relationship. So I might say that I have a relationship with my uncle; an uncle-neice relationship. But its not the same type of relationship I share with a lover. 1 Like |

very basic question, answers seem blurred by perceptions and misconceptions. there are different kinds of relationships of which friendship is one. now if ur talkin bout the difference between romantic relationships and friendship then simply put friendship is one of the components of a romantic relationship. for those who say its the same thing here's a question for you, are you in a relationship(romantic) with your best friend of the same sex? |

Mathematically, F(x) = Friendship Type, where x = relationship For example is relationship = bedmatics then the friendship can be described as 'boyfriend or girlfried' but if relationship has no intimate content then friendship will be just friends or my friend Also if relationship involves one party spending money on the other, it could be described as 'My Mugu' 'My Alhaji', 'Aristo', sugar daddy etc Remember Police is your friend but in the case the relationship is of one party giving bribe and the other party accepting without doing any work other than slapping and harrassing you if you don't co-operate if you tell me what the relationship is then factor it into the equation above and you can get the type of friendship. I hope this is clear 1 Like |

By definition, a friendship is a relationship. but i am going to assume that you mean a relationship as in a friendship with physical attraction. The boundaries of a relationship are dictated by peoples personal boundaries. some people would consider a fully sexual relationship the norm, and some would say it is a physical friendship with no sex. Others of course would say a relationship includes Swinging, orgies or open relationships. The boundaries are set by all the people in the relationship. There is no right of wrong as long as everyone is happy and the law is followed! |

Re: What Is The Difference Between A Relationship And A Friendship? by Canisma(m): 2:29pm On Jul 23, 2011 |
Taking this from the point of male/female angle, friendship refers to ones that involve just either intimate and/or material gains without any serious future plans between the two BUT in the case of relationships, both parties, though may still be involved in intimate and material gains, would be bonded by a plan to become future partners together. This explains why many girls in naija dont save thier friend's(male) number with thier names but rather will mark it with the last digit, say 2 6 or 3 3. Then for thier relationship partners, you see "my love, honey, desire,sweetness" etc. So now u know the difference, CANISMA |

Simply put: Relationship is a superior part of friendship |
Re: What Is The Difference Between A Relationship And A Friendship? by Idrizzle(m): 2:37pm On Jul 23, 2011 |
A relationship is a friendship with strings & emotions attached while a friendship is a relationship with no strings attached. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between A Relationship And A Friendship? by Nobody: 2:40pm On Jul 23, 2011 |
^^^^ I don't think relationship is superior. I think relationship encompasses all. You can be related to people through many ways, through friendship, sexual involvement or having an affair, Marriage,blood connect (family),kinship,etc. |

yusuf_@: yeah, you are very right, friendship and relationship are related. Relationship is the grandfather, it is a relation between two people, it could also be an emotional connexction between two peolpe or the connection could be by blood, business deals, etc Friendship is a feeling of comfort and emotional safety with a person. It is when you do not have to weigh your thoughts and measure words, before keeping it forth before your friend. It is when someone knows you better than yourself and assures to be your side in every emotional crisis. It is when you can sleep fighting and get another morning with a better understanding. Friendship is much beyond roaming together and sharing good moments, it is when someone comes to rescue you from the worst phase of life. Friendship is eternal. |

A friendship is a type of relationship. Every constant interaction/connection we make with people/animals/things is a relationship; be it good or bad, Significant or Significant. |

Relationship is more exclusive than friendship. Arguably, both are similar in a sense. |
