Laura25Somewhere, New York USA50 Threads 6 Polls 8,178 Postsnanners2863: I think that you can be "crazy in love" which implies that you accept that person faults and all. But I think "crazy about him" can be a step too close to boiling rabbits!!
"boiling rabbits"? ?

Laura25: Ah-ha, gotcha... In other words - there is no difference until a certain stage of it is reached...
I've known some couples, say, 60 plus years together, who would still claim that the two terms can be one and the same...Except that in latter years, the 'logical' switch tends to come in automatically.

Hi, Venere
Ambrose2007: ...
So perhaps the most common meaning of "I'm crazy about you" is that it is a "theme song" of the honeymoon phase of a romantic relationship. However, I think there's probably more to it than that. "I'm crazy about you" may be also be a deeper statement of romantic methodology - that is, it may signify a particular approach toward romance...perhaps a less committal, more "high-emotion"-oriented approach. Young girls, for example, would probably by the most outspoken proponents of high drama, longing, and "crazy about" emotions, and I suspect this emotional drama is more about fulfilling internal needs/self-approval/self-assertiveness than about finding a true romantic connection.

Thalassa: Haven't read all pages, I must admit, so if I am repeating something that has been previously said, mea culpa.
Love him or crazy about him?? What's the difference? I would say that the difference is simply a comfort level with expressing one's feelings. It's a risk to tell someone that you love them; less of a risk to say "I'm crazy about you." If you don't feel that your partner is ready to hear the "L" word, you opt for the "crazy about you" approach.
Either this, or else you're just not sure if what you feel is genuine love and you're biding your time, waiting for certainty.
