boonpop Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 This question should be simple for the pro's. What's the difference between Love and being in Love and how do you tell the two appart ? Link to comment
TheIrish Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Love is imfatuation, in Love is being in love with another person but there is no imfatuation there is something that brings the 2 of you together Link to comment
justagirl20f Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Infatuation is infatuation... Love is feeling strong emotions towards someone and being in love is having those feelings reciprocated. IMO. Link to comment
SexxxyStaxxx Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Love is to love someone as a person, have strong feelings towards them because of who they are, and how they treat you. To be in love is to have extremely strong emotions towards a certain person because of who they are, and who you are when you are with them. To be in love is to love their good qualities, along with their bad. It's a more spiritual connection shared between two people. To be in love is to put the other person before yourself and do everything in your power to make them happy. Link to comment
johnagent1911 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Love is love... The rest is irrelavant. Link to comment
melrich Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Well it is semantics really but popular culture says there is a difference. I think the best way to describe it is to say that you love your mom, your pet dog, your bothers and sisters. Being in love suggests a more intimate relationship and is usually only used to describe feelings towards a lover, its suggests a relationship involving intimacy. Link to comment
jessijess Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I've gotta agree with richgabe. I always say that I love my exboyfriend but I'm not in love with him. I know I'll always care about him & would do anything for him, except be with him. Make any sense? Link to comment
sherbet Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 hi, well iam new here but according to your question theres a big difference between love and being in love!lets starts about love, love is a feeling yes!a feeling in which you feels to everbody,love of family friends etc.,but being in love is different its bcoz when your in love you cant eat and sleep no joke only but honestly there aresome when you really in love you give everything on that person!!!ers Link to comment
boonpop Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 For (the Irish) I know infatuation real well, I always say that infatuation leave little room for imperfections meaning when you are infatuated with a person, you never seem to notice or even consider their flaws. I'm sorry to say that I disagree with you on love being infatuation, and I know for a fact that infatuation doesn't last. For (justagirl20f) I've felt strong feelings toward a person who's emotions were stronger than my own, who's to say that either of us were or were not in love. Our feelings were reciprocated, but my heart kept telling me to continue that relationship would be unfair to my partner, and I had to let it go. Funny thing though, I loved her to death. And still do. I still don't believe I was in love. For (Sexxxystaxxx) I think you hit the nail on the head when you said spiritual connection with a person, however one of the ways I even know that spiritual connection even exist is because I have that same connection with my best friends wife. I can tell you if she's sick without seeing her or finish a sentence she starts, but I have absolutely no feeling of love outside of friendship for her. My point, just because you have that spiritual connection with a person, doesn't mean being in love with that person is to follow. I do however agree with everything else you said and believe you are a person who truly knows love. For (Johnagent) Thanks for responding (Richgabe) I agree with you on being in love is a more intimate relationship than that you share with a relative or close friend, however, I have been in many relationships and aside from the many different corks individuals have here and there, I'm starting to think that the feeling of intimate love, is all the same. It starts off Gushy and ends up fading or being something that requires all the work in the world after a few years. Am I to think that in love is any different, or are we still dealing with semantics. (jessijess) I'm sorry but that butt survey thing was too funny for me to ignore. Thanx for responding too by the way. (Sherbet) So you are pretty much saying the same thing that Richgabe is saying with the added point that being in love works on your mind and your appitite. I can live with that. Link to comment
IsiahsCowgirl Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Okay it's complicated... I Love my older sister, she's dear to me and I would do anything for her...including take her place in death if it came to that. I'm IN LOVE with Isiah... I have a stronger emotional bond with him, than if I just LOVED him.. there's just something special there, I'm not infatuated with him, but I need to be with him, and when he's sad I know it and I'm sad too... I have a spiritual connection with him, but it's different that what some people consider it.. it's just really confusing to explain. But then I have a spiritual connection with my younger sister, kinda like Boonpop does with friends wife... I know when she's sick and I dont even have to see her.. I know when something's happened to her, and dont have to talk to her or see her.. it's a bond that can't be broken... Link to comment
