Crush or Love?

[Inquisitor]

Do u guys think there is a way to distinguish between love and a crush?

[rosierizzle]

love is something much more powerful than a crush and is more commonly mutual although it doesn't have to be. A crush is having strong attractions to a certain person however love is something that is much deeper and stronger that is hard to explain.

Here are the dictionary definitions,

 

love

n.

1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

2. A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

3. An intense emotional attachment.

 

crush

n.

1. A fancy or particular liking or desire for.

[rosierizzle]

as you can see love is something more powerful and deep

[Mysterious Gurl]

You know what, even after having pointed out the difference between love and a crush I still can't figure out if I love this person or if I have a crush.

 

Typical me!

 

Good luck dude

Time will tell. Crushes pass but love lingers. I am a believer though that when you love someone you know it, that every fibre of your being screams it. Love isn't someone you can live with, it's someone you cant live without.

[Mysterious Gurl]

The thing is crushes and can last for ages. They can feel like an eternety

yeah with those definitions it seems to me that love and crush hav the same difference. If u can feel love like its gonna make u explode then i guess i really "love" this girl. But can 1 person love some1 who doesnt love back?

[AlwaysNeedHelp]

well guys, dont u think crush could be turned to be love. It is also difficult to differentiate whether you are in love or you have a crush when you are in the middle of the feeling. Like when you see the girl you love or have a crsuh on her, you wont be able to judge your feelings at the momment. Time only will tell you the truth. It needs time to know your real feelings.

 

So ( A CRUSH IS THE MILD STAGE OF LOVE)

 

You could continuee and reach love or you can just have a crush which will be swept away by time. I hope for you that you love her and she loves you.

[Mysterious Gurl]

Crush and love are very similar things. But to try and work out the difference is hard.

 

A crush can last for ages evern yrs. Love can last forever.

 

So yes as AlwaysNeedHelp said crush is a mild stage of love.

I definitely think that a person can love someone even if that person does not love them back. I am tempted to say that love is more of an emotional experience than a crush but that is probably overgeneralising....

[Mysterious Gurl]

But how does a guy knoe he loves a girl or a girl loves a guy when they haven't met every guy and gurl in world!?

 

I mean a guy could say he loves a gurl and then later meet another gurl and feel something for her too!?!?! like a crush which in a way is "Mild love"

 

It doesn't make sense but I'm trying to establish the difference here
