My friend and I have been talking about this for a while, especially since another mutual friend of ours has been falling for a lot of people he's gotten to know really well and wonders if it's normal or not. I don't see much of a difference between romantic relationships & friendships aside from 3 things: intimacy exclusivity prioritization I don't think there's anything wrong with my friend. If my friend is single & is open to relationships, then meets and gets close to someone who matches his own criteria, gets along with him well, and shares the same core values, it is only natural for him to develop romantic feelings, ditto for the girl.
