i think people misunderstand the saying

it's not like .. dump the person you're dating for the person you consider your best friend (because most of the time that would involve someone of the same sex, as well as being fucking stupid), i think it implies that the person you're in a relationship with should be someone who is a good friend and fun to hang with, not just all based on physical attraction shit which can disappear pretty quick

i agree with katie...as does everyone else.

it should be: love your lover like you love your best friend. but love him/her as a lover too.

if that makes any sense.

screw saying love.

this is my now shortened explanation: pick someone who'll give you the best of both worlds.

it doesnt work like that

people only get married because they want to have kids. having kids with some random, annoying bitch is hardly desirable

on that note. people marry someone that looks good (using yourself as a base point), and that you can stand to be around for a prolonged period of time.

pessimism at its greatest
