Love or Infatuation?
Infatuation is fellting desire-- one set of glands calling to another. It is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about the relationship that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time. It is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not seperate you. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him." Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together, you hope it will end in intimacy. Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship that makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he's away, you wonder if he's being unfaithful. Sometimes, you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels your trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy. Infatuatiuon might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.
Love is elevating. It lifts you up. IT makes you look up. It makes you better than you were before.

Lust: Is when you have nothing but bodily desires for one another.
Love: You feel nothing but happiness when you're around him/her. Every love song relates to you. You are simply on cloud nine when he/she says your name. . However like what that fellow above me said. Love doesn't rush. It takes its time, and it grows. People don't trust on the chemistry alone to make a relationship work, they trust each other first then they trust that love can lead the way.

nice definition....
anyone read Khalil Gibran's The Prophet? He says a lot of interesting things about love. But sometimes I sit and think why must one settle for pain - well he basically says that love is both joy and sorrow, that if you only choose joy it will not be true love but choose also the pain... don't know
ha ha - i'm actualy trying that now - usually i turn an run the minute there is confrontation but i've decided to take it all and see where we (me and the man end up). but of course there is a line beyond which we part ways.
is there ever going to be one answer for this question?

I think love is a great feeling, because without love we will no be able to continue our life. The who we love are the main reason for us to live our life happily...

when u have not met soembody for 10 months and ur herat still yearns for the same personor waits to hear the person's voice.even after separation when 2 people can feel each other's feelings and enquire about other's well beign as th haert say the other one is not felling well.its has unspoken emotions. when u dont needs words to communicate all the time,when the mere glances or body language says it all.
when u want to spend the rest of your life with one person around you.then its love.

I have to ask mother about love. Love is something that we do without expecting any benefits. Love is the most pristine thing, that ever made. Luv is feeling. I can just realize it but difficult to express in word.

Lust is the physical attraction.
Love is someone's inner feelings that is actually genuine.Appreciating a person on what she/he is and not what he /she does.A higher %tage of people do mistake lust for love!!!!!

Can you define love? It's very difficult, if not impossible. I suppose you'd have to define it with words, so I'd say it's pretty impossible. You just have to feel it. Love is Life, that's all I can come up with...

If you spend more than 5 hours a day thinking about them...not their body or the way they look or anything like that but having a feeling of wanting to be with them and missing them...even when they are in you arms: THats love.
Knowing that you couldnt be any happier...even if god reached down and said "Hey buddy i have an opportunity of a lifetime" thats love
Always thinking about what they look like and how they make you feel about yourself...is lust

I suppose it's possible to say that love can start with lust because I don't believe that you can be in love with someone as soon as you set your eyes on them, that would imply that you are after the physical.
Love comes gradually.
When you first kiss them and even if they might not be the best kisser you've swapped saliva with, they're the only one you can actually taste well beyond your tastebuds, somewhere deep within your stomach where the butterflies start their flight. And when you kiss them you just KNOW that no one else could make you feel happier with their kisses. And then you realise that, every time your lips meet, you feel the same way you felt when you first kissed.
Then comes the feeling of trust. You might start by telling them the innocent gossipings of others because you know that s/he wouldn't be bothered to tell anyone else. But then you start confiding in them your thoughts, your worries, your aspirations, your own deep, dark secrets. And the reasonable way with which s/he accepts these and still looks at you with the same light in their eyes is when love first starts to blossom.
And then you become a team and when you are planning your future, you do it together, when you are making decisions you make them with each other in mind.
This is as far as I can explain love to you because that's as far as I have experienced it. I cannot talk of which I do not know so I'll leave it like this and let the rest of you continue it.
