The "in love" feeling is a natural biological response necessary to propogate our species. This feeling always fades (that is not to say that it cannot be rekindled).
Loving someone is a conscious decision that we make. I can choose to love someone even though........fill in the blank.
Depends on who it is. I love my daughter and I am in love with her and always will be. I also know a couple women from my youth thru today that I was in love with and I still do love and will always love.
When you love someone you never want to lose them. You would do most anything for that person. When you are in love with some one it is that bubbly feeling when hear that persons voice. That tingle all over just to think of them. That missing them so much feeling. When you get butterflies at the first sight of them. JMO
There are some being my daughter or a couple women that I mentioned that I love unconditionally and there is no difference. There are some people that I love but not unconditionally. Its a good question and now you have me thinking more.
Well "most" people believe there is a difference in a relationship between loving them and being in love with them. So I thought maybe starting a thread on what people think the difference is we can see how we look at it.
Being in love and loving someone can both be one sided.
Being in love ... you think of a long term relationship possibility.
While loving someone .. is a broader term .. including family , friends or even someone just cos they are themselves without trying to define the relation.
Hmm, Well with my ex I married very young and I now know that I wasn't really in love with her when we married but, I did grow to love her and I still do today as my friend.
When a person is truly in love with someone, it's that kind of love that motivates us to go out of our way to all we can for the other one and then some.. never letting her/him down, always being sensitive to his/her pain, always lifting him/her up, never ever making him/her feel like he/she isn't special.. and that's just a few of many things..
I think you have to LIKE someone first, before you can love them or be in love with them. First it takes caring, sharing, and knowing each other well (our likes, dislikes, personalities, etc.) before you can actually love each other.
