What does it mean to be in love, as opposed to just liking someone?

If you were in love, you wouldn't be asking this question.

Like is a feeling, and love is an action.\nLove is a decision that you make.  You decide to love someone even when they aren't lovely, like first thing in the morning, or when you are in an arguement.\nWhen you love someone, it isn't contingent on how they make you feel, or what they do for you.  Love is unselfish, and it means you put someone else's feelings before your own.\nLove isn't something you "fall" in, and out of.  You either never loved them in the first place, or you decided not to work at loving that person anymore.

Love is the only emotion that just...suddenly appears...and when your in it...it's holding you so close..so warm..like a security blanket.  When ur in love...you tend to try things you never thought you'd do...say and feel things that you've never felt before...so....perhaps love can be viewed as crazy...\nbut it's always a beautiful thing

the person whom you like would be a excellent friend of yours and the one whom you love would be that person who shares a special relationship with you. in love u need not say every time that  you love him/her , it is understood. you automatically start caring for that person. if that person is in trouble u would feel bad for him and stand besides him in all ups and downs of life.   LOVE IS NOT ONLY GAINING BUT ALSO SACRIFICING UR HAPPINESS FOR UR LOVED ONE

You can still be in love with someone but that doesn't mean you should have a relationship with them.  Sometimes loving someone means you let him go because you two just don't get along no matter what.

Love means that you like  he/she to go into your life. Love is something that you felt good to have it. And love can create peace, happy and ect. If you do not felt good to have love that means you yourself do not know how to love yourself and you are not ready to love others also. Love is something that you cannot touch but you can fell, you can not hold but you can give, you can not see but is already  in your heart. So follow what you felt and go ahead to love. Giving out LOVE is not neccesarry to have back.

both are equally as good, but definitely to feel like someone loves you even though you may not love them, is the best feeling in the world. that's just my personal opinion though.

well there's love and there's infatuation but i suppose there's similarities between them.  love is not just smiling to yourself when you think about the person and it's also not just wanting to spend more time with the person...it's deeper.  love is when you want to be with that person forever and you care about that person so much that you would die for them.  it is when they cry, you feel like crying and when they laugh, you join in.  love is when you can tell the person everything and trust them and depend on them for everything.

you can't fall in love and already be in love with someone.  You aren't in love if you are having feelings for someone else.

i'm in love.... to me it means he's the ONE person i can not live with out. i think of him more times in one day than i think of myself. when i think of him, i think of him with my heart and soul, not my mind. he's the one person i will always want to be with. i will always be there for him, and i'd gladly die for him. that's what it means... to me.

To me, it is a recognition of the value of the person. \nFeeling that this person betters your life and helps you grow as a person and knowing you help them grow as a person too. When you can put the other's persons needs before your own and are willing to put any effort it takes into making it work. \nThere is a big difference between being in-love, loving someone and being in love with love. To be in love I believe you have to care more about the other person than yourself but someone whom you admire and respect who will help you improve and improve life's joys.

The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone. \n\nLove is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.\n\nThis love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.\n\nIt's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.\n\nLove can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.

love can't be described in words but i will try:\n\nlove is a feeling. it is complete happiness caused by another person. ir is wanting to be with that person at all times and missing them when they are away. love is nothing more then wanting to make the person happy and to want to give the person the best life possible. it is to want to take all of the person's stress and pain away. it is to trust the person more than anyone else in the world. it is a connection between two people that should be unbreakable. it is never wanting to lose the person. it is willing to spent the rest of your life with the person. love is the greatest feeling ever.\n\ni don't feel like that did love any justice...

From what I can tell I've been in love twice.  Love is when you care for someone so much you would do anything to make then happy, even if that mean them not being with you.  It is a very vulnerable and self sacrificing emotion whch is why it only works when the other person feels the same.

You love whole heartedly, u surrender ur body and soul completely in a love relationship. \n\nWhereas if you like someone you may like them for their good work, good deeds, good nature or any charecter liked by you.

It's a bit of both. \n\nHaving love is painful, lest you fear to lose it, yet at the same time, being in love is wonderful and can make you happy.\n\nYou must strike a good balance.

to me a crush is something that is superficial. you may have seen or discovered something that you have admired or liked.\nlove is total acceptance. it has worked its way to the deepest part of our soul.\nis is ok to still have a crush when you are already in love? i do believe so.
