What does BFL mean in CHAT

BFL stands for Best Friend and Lover. It is a relationship between two people who have a strong connection emotionally, intellectually, and physically. They may be involved in a romantic relationship, but the bond that they share goes beyond romance.

You would likely know when someone has become your BFL because you’ll feel an intense connection with them on all levels - emotional, intellectual and physical. If this connection feels special and unique compared to other relationships you have had in the past, it could very likely be your BFL.

Absolutely! Having a BFL can be profoundly rewarding. A relationship like this allows two people to connect deeply and freely express themselves without fear of judgement or criticism. Plus, having such an intimate bond can offer emotional support that helps both individuals grow as people.

Yes, being in a BFL relationship comes with some risks too. When two people are so close it can cause them to overlook important boundaries they need to have in place for the health of their relationship. In addition, if one person starts feeling more strongly than the other then resentment can develop which could damage the bond they share.

Yes, it is essential! Before any kind of romantic feelings can start to develop between two people they must establish trust and understand one another through friendship first - only then does the possibility of growing into something more exist.

Yes, forming an intimate bond like this typically takes time because trust needs to grow before feelings will follow. That said, if what you’re feeling is genuine it will very likely deepen over time naturally - so long as both parties remain committed to each other's growth and happiness as individuals.

Unfortunately yes - no matter how deep the bond between two people might be there is still potential for them to drift apart over time either gradually or suddenly due to differences or life changes. That said, staying committed and communicating regularly are important steps towards avoiding this type of eventuality.

Although making such declarations don’t always serve any purpose practically speaking; theoretically if you are starting experience all three forms of intimacy (emotional, physical and intellectual) together with one another then you could consider yourself officially ‘BFLs’.

Not necessarily; it simply depends on how much priority was placed on those previous friendships versus the one that has developed into something stronger which could potentially lead to being considered someone's 'BFF.' It also depends on how well balanced that individual keeps his/her emotions while still remaining true their current commitments.
