Well, I am in love with my husband, but still have weaker feelings of love for my ex boyfriend. You really can't put it into words, but the feeling of love is different towards anyone you love. The feeling of love a parent has for their child, is not the same TYPE of love that you feel when you are in love. There are many forms of love, just can't really put them into words.

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.

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.

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.

100%\n"in love" is a term used for someone you are romanitcally attracted to. "love" is a lil more general which can be applied to a friend, family member, or chocolate!

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.

When a person is in love that does not stop them from talking with others. If you think you are in love you have to ask yourself is that you love the Ideal of being in Love or is it love. No one but yourself can say which one it really is. You might also need to give yourself and the one you have feelings for time to grow and get to know each other.

LOVE IS PUTTING SOMEONE ELSE'S NEEDS BEFORE YOUR OWN. WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING YOU THINK ABOUT IF THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THAT PERSON IN A GOOD OR BAD WAY. NOT WANTING THAT PERSON TO BE UNHAPPY. WHEN YOU ARE NOT WITH THAT PERSON YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THEM AND WONDERING WHAT THEY ARE DOING EVEN MISSING THEM WHEN THE TWO OF YOU HAVE ONLY BEEN APART A FEW HOURS.YOUR HEART STARTS TO RACE WHEN YOU SEE THAT PERSON. YOUR HEART, MIND BODY AND SOUL HAS THIS FEELING OF FULFILLMENT LIKE NOW YOU HAVE THIS FEELING OF COMPLETION SINCE YOU HAVE MET THIS PERSON.

No. You can love someone dearly, but not be in love with them. When you are "in love" then no one else matters. She/he is your world. You connect on so many different levels that its impossible to share that same feeling with another person @ the same time. No way.

loving some one does mean you would do anything for them you love them as you would your brother or mother. The love for your partner  should be a completely different feeling a different kind of love! The kind that will drive you crazy if you lose that one person. Its like that person is your world, you feel when their mad, sad or hurt. You can't imagine being or doing with out that one person! That's being in love! Loving is similar but you know if that person is upset in any way you comfort but you don't make it a priority and you know they will live. You have accepted the fact that if this person leaves you for what ever reason that it will hurt but you will live! Their not, lets be honest, the world to you! you will do anything for them, and if something where to happen you'd be there but, you know your world won't end because of it! There's a big difference if you understand what I'm saying. It's hard to explain! Think of it this way between him and your hubby- Which would hurt/kill you more if one of them had to go??? the one you can't be with out is the one your in love with!

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.

When you care about something, your interest is from a mental aspect.  When you love something, your interest is from an emotional aspect.  You can care about a person and not love them, but if you love a person, you care about that person too.

I dont think it is easy either way. If you are loved you have to put the other persons feelings into consideration and appreciate the love they are giving you. You have to cherish it and make sure not to tarnish it. \n\nAnd if you are the one loving, you have to do the same things. Make sure that you treat them kindly, look out for there feelings as well as your own.

You know that you are in love when all you can do is think about that person. When you look at the person and get a tingling sensation through your body. When the thought of being without them scares you. When you can see yourself with that person for the rest of your life. When you are apart from the person, you long to be with them. Love is a funny thing, but when it's real and it's the real thing you will know because the signs will be there and everything else will fall into place.

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...
