Lust mean you just want to have sex with the person.  To love someone, you have to care about them too.  You can have lust without love, but its a lot harder to have love without lust.

Love is true.\n\nThat being said, let me explain...wait, let me summarize.\n\nThe problem is, people confuse infatuation and/or lust for love. That giddy, fast heartbeat, almost obsession with a person, that is infatuation. When you just *want* someone, that is lust. Infatuation is a combo of liking someone, lust, and a few other chemical responses. Most people think this is "love", but the problem with infatuation is, after out three months, it goes away.\n\nWhen it goes away, if there really isn't anything else there in the way of feelings for a person, then there is nothing left, and people think they ar "fell out of love".\n\nTrue love, sometimes starts with that giddy rush of infatuation, but afterwords, but it's the feeling that stays afterwords. It's a deeper, less giddy feeling. Part friendship, part liking to be with someone, part lust (there should always be lust, rowr), but also a deeper feeling of being happy to be around a person. With my Love, I feel, complete, total, I understood the poets, when they say some souls are divided, and we spend our lives looking for our other half.\n\njust my spin. Love is out there. It may not be that you don't feel it, it might just not be what you are expecting it to be, not a mad giddy infatuation, but something a bit more subtle, but lasting.\n\nLove shall be the whole of the law.

Love is all the states of mind put together into a complex state of bliss...in love one can feel every emotion intensified. Like states of mind which come and go, love does not easily come and easily go, it adheres to all tests of time and patience.

Love is emotional and can be experienced without sexual ties.\nLust is sexual.

I've had a problem with the same question. I've come to find out that if you really love someone and you seperate or your away for a while and you can't stop thinking of them and it begins to hurt, your in love. But, if the same thing happens and the only thing you really miss is being shacked up with them then it's lust. Love is very complicated and very painful. No words can ever express real love it's something that you feel deep down. Love can be different things to different people it really depends on you. Sit down alone and think about it.

Age does not matter, but maturity does. Most people confuse love with lust. Love is when you are willing to stick by your partner no matter what happens. It is a strong connection of the soul. When you are in love you feel a strong emotional bond that is stronger and more intense than anything you have ever felt in your life. Almost every time you see this person you are overcome with happiness and if you had a bad day, just the presence of that person will turn a bad day into a good day.

Love means that you want to be with another person because you are really interested in them. Lust is being with another person because you enjoy the sex.

The difference between love and attraction/sex is when you love someone you are comfortable being around them and you are willing to put up with their worst habits and you love being around them even when sex isn't the main priority anymore. Love is letting someone see all your bad habits, too!

Lust is what happens before love. Its the chemistry and the connection between two people. It's the raw passion, the sheer desire to be near each other, to kiss, to have sex, to touch each other.\nLust is powerful and physical... it can eventually develop into love, but lust comes first.

loving someone means you want and need them without anything in exchange, without reasons in short, you love him even though you two don't make sex..when you lust for someone, it is craving and wanting him to be your sex mate and that's it, after a sex-making or two,the feeling would fade like bubbles..sheeew..

Love is long- lasting, fascination is not. With love, you accept that person, good or bad. With fascination, you see the good and become disappointed when you realize the bad.

There is a huge difference.  Attitude and feelings are the main difference.  You can f  anyone but you can only truly make love to someone you really love and care about.

Lust is looking to gratify yourself.  Love is sacrifice.

Love is the state of mental awareness achieved by acknowledging and accepting the responsibilities, sacrifices, and differences that must be overcome in order to have a healthy and exciting relationship.\n\nLove is often mistaken for the more emotion based thought processes of passion, lust, and desire- which are derived more commonly from insecurity and sexual or emotional needs.\n\nYeah, it sounds like that came from a textbook but those are my own words.

Yes. It scares me how lust alone can have so much control over a person. Like yes I like him, because he's HOT...sleep with him? HELL YEAH! Only if I can forget about it when I open my eyes tomorrow. \n\nYeah, lust is something without feelings, without discernment and without depth. It cheapens the value of real love and disregards any dignity in sex. \n\nBeware. Lust is one of the 7 big ones....
