Is This You?

There are several reasons that attract a couple to each other. Here is a look at three couples who went from being friends to lovers.

• Are you lonely too?

Kirsten Coelho, 25, ad copywriter and Robert Fernandes, 24, production coordinator was friends for 6 months before they got intimate.

"Both of us were out of turbulent relationships and we connected over that. That and the fact that we were completely attracted to each other set the ball rolling."

So after nameless making out for three months Robert asked Kirsten out and they are together ever since.

Kirsten continues, "Infact I still remember kissing Robert. The feeling was irresistible. When I think of it now I realise that we were both lonely and found solace in each other."

Breaking it to Friends and Family: "Breaking it to our friends was easy, especially because most of them wanted us to be together", says Kirsten.

The only hurdle among their friends was that they were a couple and wanted to spend a lot more time with each other.

"But as time went by, all our friends warmed up to the idea and supported us. Family is another story all together. I still have not told my folks and do not know if I will. I will break it to them when Robert and I are willing to make a lifelong commitment and we have not reached that stage yet," Kirsten ends.
