The best way to tell if you are better off as friends is [asking yourself] how much you respect their values, life coach Kali Rogers tells Bustle. As Rogers puts it, If you love being around someone but dont necessarily see eye to eye on things that are pretty important to you, its best to stay friends.

Is being friends better than a relationship?

Friends are there for you when love ceases to be, friends will never fail you even when love does. They might not be by your side all throughout, but they wont ever abandon you. In all the happiness it brings to your life, friendship is indeed many times better than love!
