What are some common themes and challenges in stories of friends who fell in love?

One common theme could be the age gap causing social pressure. Challenges might include family opposition or the girl's own insecurities.

One common challenge is the fear of ruining the friendship. Since they were friends first, they are afraid that if the romantic relationship doesn't work out, they will lose that precious friendship forever.

There can be a challenge in adjusting to the new dynamic. As best friends, they were used to a certain level of equality and informality. But in a romantic relationship, there might be power dynamics, jealousy issues, and different levels of emotional intimacy. It takes time to figure out how to balance these new aspects while still maintaining the core of their friendship.

One challenge is the lack of physical presence. You can't really hug or touch the person easily. For example, in long - distance online relationships, the couple may feel lonely sometimes because they can't be together in person.

Love triangles are quite common too. For example, there might be a situation where Rhaegar's love for one character conflicts with his duties or prior relationships. Also, the theme of sacrifice often appears. His love might drive him to make sacrifices, whether it's for the person he loves or for the greater good as he perceives it. And sometimes, there's the theme of prophecy intertwined with his love. Writers might play with how his love relates to the prophecies in the ASOIAF universe.

A common theme in such love stories is the contrast in energy levels and interests. Challenges might involve maintaining mutual understanding and support over time. Also, there could be financial imbalances and the pressure to keep up with each other's social circles.

Another challenge is self - confidence within the relationship. The crossdressing partner may sometimes doubt if they are truly loved for who they are or just for the novelty of their crossdressing. And for the other partner, they might struggle with how to handle the outside world's reactions while still being true to their love for their crossdressing friend.

One of the common themes is the sense of freedom and escape from the ordinary. Another might be the development of courage as they take on the swinging challenges. And, of course, the theme of shared joy and creating lasting memories is often present.

One common theme is the sharing of daily life. Just like in many cultures, Tamil friends who fall in love through chatting often start by talking about their day, what they ate, what they did. Another theme is the sharing of dreams and aspirations. For example, a boy might share his goal of becoming a doctor with his female friend in their chat, and she would be very supportive, which deepens their connection. And of course, there is often the theme of family. They might talk about their families in their chats, and how their families' values could impact their relationship.

Often, these stories deal with issues like language barriers, cultural adjustment, and finding a sense of belonging.
