Whats the difference?

What's the difference between really liking someone and loving someone?
Im just curious because i dont think I've loved as a partner yet.
(well if i had, i wouldnt be writing this)

Anyway, just curious to see what u all say.

The difference between like and love is that when you love someone you'll do anything for them and you care about them as for like nobody wouldn't do that. and stop thinking about dirty things and help me figure out my answer on my post.:confused:

Like is such a superficial thing...you can say, "Gee I really like you hair/car/pants/whatever" But when you love sumthin not onley is it a passion for the person/item but a devotion and commitment to some degree...

Yes I did say item...well, I love my doggy, but it's a different kind of love....just like you can love your parents as well, but I'm sure most if not all of you have THOSE kind of thoughts of them...anyways!


Love itself is very broad, but means a whole lot more to you...it can be your hapiiness or your downfall because it is such an incredibly powerful and driving emotion...

You may not even know if you've ever found a love...Afterall what I beleive is that we all have many soulmates which we can love...the possibility exists, but it is our actions and life that forms such bonds...

g-day to you

and

good luck in your future pursuits!

Have you ever been absolutely certain about something? You just knew, that you knew, that you knew? I ask because not everyone experiences that.

If you have experienced that certainty then a lot of times that is what love is "like".

You just know that there's something different for this person. They're always in your thoughts. You're happy when going out and staying in. You're happy being with this person at a formal dinner, or just watching a movie after working all day in a garden with them (and you both need to shower :eek: ;) ). You can ask yourself and give a certain answer that you simply don't care what the situation, you are content with this person in all situations.

It's a very big question you ask, and one that's been asked for a LONG TIME. For each person it's different. But you can take others views and find out what your way of 'loving' someone ends up being like.

OOh forgot..

Talisanna...

"Afterall what I beleive is that we all have many soulmates which we can love...

You really belive this? I'm not questioning as in I don't... I have never thought of this before. I've always been under the assumption and been taught that there is ONE soulmate for each person... some find it and some don't.

I'd really like to hear more of what you believe regarding this... would you mind continuing in personal mail?

I too am intrigued by the comment. I suppose that I believe you can be in love, and love, many people, at many different times in your life. But a soulmate? I've always thought there was just one.

In finding my fiance, it is like we were two puzzle pieces, waiting to be fit together. It is a dumb metaphor, but it is all I could do.

I'm curious as to what others think... one soulmate, or many?

[Kaisharga]

I think the multiple-soulmate thing is quite valid. How many times have there been cases where a person fell in love, truly in love, got married, et cetera, and years later, their love died? The person has to continue living, and as all humans seek companionship in some form or another, the person seeks out another companion, and finds True Love once again.

Who is to say which one is lesser?
