Difference - Relationship and Friendship?
Searching for definitions and labels once more. 
The sexual attraction? but asexuals still have relationships...
Exclusivity? What about polygmous people...
Intimacy? You can get that with really good friendships
What's the difference for most people? Is this something that can be defined or is it just dependant on the person in question.

The line is blurred for me, being asexual and all. Don't really know anymore! I've found that the better friends I am with some people, the more likely I can consider swapping platonic love to something else...
I suppose it's the intimacy thing. Friend intimacy can be pretty intimate, but the 'would love to just hold you, wake up with you and all, ok, I'll do more than that if you insist' thing is where I'd def call it a relationshp, or at least desire for one.
Although I seem to be able to go back to friendship quite easy, from my very limited experience, which is odd.
So I'm probably not very helpful or articulate!

relationship usually involves things friends don't do..
sex, for example

I agree with that, but just to play the devil's advocate; what about the "Friends with benefits"-kinda people??
that's a relationship, just a non-traditional one..
But what about asexual couples? They ain't havin' sex, but they love each other, in a relationship and so forth...
^^; Thought I'd let this thread die... (not many responses) perhaps I'd get a better response from the asexuality forums instead.
I really like the idea of a "relationship" defined by what you call it. Even if the line between friendship and romantic lovers are blurred... It'd explain why people can be polygamous since they love more than one person.
PS. Nice post count there :P
