What Is The Difference Between Love And Being In Love?

Answer Question

5 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Love is being defined here in the context above and not in the sense of preference or liking; as in "I love pizza more than fries". Love is an emotion that one feels towards another. It is an emotional attachment and feeling of affection that emanates from within. It can be between a mother and child, a person and his pet, between friends, between sisters etc.

    The other term "being in love" refers to a feeling of love in the sense of lovers. It is what Connie Walle seeks when she says in her poem "O let the solid ground not fail beneath my feet; before my life has found what some have found so sweet." The difference between the two is that the first can refer to something plutonic as well, while the latter is more to do with attraction and sexual longing.

      Love is what's left when being in love has gone. It's when you care about someone and you hope they're happy, but you're not under any illusions about them. Maybe that kind of love is not exciting and passionate and all those feelings fade with time. All those things most people are so keen on. But in the end it's the only kind of love that really matters.

      I ask, what is the dif, I need to know.
      If we make love, cry , laugh, sleep , cuddle & watch movies, & even live with each other 2 weeks out of a month....every thing a married couple would do.
      Is this Not IN LOVE ?????
      He tells me , he loves me, but he is not in love with me.
      We have known each other for 13 years, he is my best friend, I want him to be my best friend forever.
      will some one out there tell me what to do.......SOS
      I would like to ask him to marry me on Valentines day, I have a ring, but I am so affraid to hear those words again.
      I love you, but I am not IN love with you.
      Is there some kind of book, test or something I can have him read?
      For the life of me, he makes no sence.
      I am 42 years old, and I just do not want to play house any more.
      I would be So Proud to have him for my husband & life long mate.
      I know I mean the world to him & I know he loves me.
      What Can I Do ?
