Love or Respect...which comes first? (31)
i think the best relationships come out of respect and friendship first. how can you love someone, if you dont respect them? in the case of love at first sight, that is different, but i think it is lust at first site, in which case, how can you respect someone you know nothing about?

Don´t know really, obviously to be with someone you have to like if not love them, but respect thats earned from what you do and how you respect the person with you.
I´d say they go hand in hand.....you cannot love someone who you don´t respect! Both has to be built.
Does that sound daft????

I think you have to respect each other first, and joy, you have a good point about building a friendship first. I believe that a good relationship must start with respect for one another, let the friendship blossom, and the love will come naturally.

I think to respect each other would be the first thing......
I dont think anyone should have to earn respect it should go without saying.....a given thing......

Interesting to see what people say.
Everyone I meet receives respect and normal care and concern of one human to another.
Respect, trust and caring deepen and grow as a result of their interactions with me.
I can lose respect, caring, and trust for a person if their actions with me and others in my presence are unkind, boorish, malicious or any number of perceived negatives.
I have been in a situation where one sudden, heinous act destroyed all the respect and trust I had developed over time for an individual I loved dearly. Love took longer to dissipate.

I find myself in the Respect First camp - it is difficult to imagine falling in love with someone I don't initially respect, at least somewhat.

I believe the first foundation of love is trust being the first respect being the second and gratitude being the last but all three together are the basics of love.
It's a combination of things that bring about love not just one thing.

I would think you would have to see qualities that you respect in the other person before you could realistically say "I Love You".
....then again, I see people that fall in love at the drop of a hat. They usually end up disappointed though because they find out that the person they fell for do not fit their ideology and just as easy lose respect for the other person for one reson or another.
I think the best way to find love is to get to really really know someone before decide you are "In Love"...otherwise it is like falling in love with a stranger basically which more often than not ends in bitterness and disappointment.

Love happens, and respect helps it grow and continue, no particular order in my opinion; it's not something we have control over anyway.
