The Difference of Loving and Being in-love

I think you describe the difference very well and I there is another difference between the two. Those feelings of being in love gets less over time and the feeling of loving will grow in strength and will become more important.

A good relationship will have both but the way you feel changes. You may never fall out of love, and you may always be passionate about the one you love, but the deeper feelings will grow stronger and replace the early excitement of new love.

Thy are one and the samething-being in love presupposes that you re loving-it is obviously a continuous tense if go by the words loving and being in love!

You have described both love and being in love exactly as I would, so I assume you are or have been in love!

Nobody who hasn't been in love can ever know what it really feels like, and I always feel that although I am more in love that I ever thought I could be, whatever I say is not enough!

Also, a simple way to say it is you love your family and your friends, but when you're IN love, you know the difference because it is a totally different feeling.

You couldn't have said it any better!

For me personally, I think being in love is something you can connect or attribute to ohysical attraction and sexual longing. Something like: you can be in love with the sunset because sunsets are beautiful. While loving goes a lot deeper: it's that emotional attachment you have with someone, a feeling that emenates from deep withn a person. Like: a mother to her child. Well, that's what I think; personal opinion.

You're right. Both should go hand-in-hand. There's no greater feeling than being in love with the person you love.

I agree with you selece. They both need to be incorporated so that you can get the full effect of a wonderful relationship. I too, know that there is a difference between loving and being in love with someone and yes, a lot of people don't realize that. When you see him\her coming your way and your heart skips a few beats, then you are in love. I love my co-workers, the church members but when I see them, my heart doesn't skip a beat but I am happy to see them. However, when I see the man I am in love with, my whole attitude changes and instantly become happy. Good post selece!

I think you have pretty much hit it right on spot. Being in love with a person carries alot of sentiment and actions on our behalf.
This person makes our heart jump everytime we see them.
I'd rather be with the person I'm in love with. And pray that they love me just as much. There is nothing finer than having the person you love to love you too.

first thing i want to tell you is gravity is not responsible to fall in love

I do get what you are saying but the "being in love" that you described is usually what we feel when a relationship is new and fresh. As time goes on and we get more comfortable with each other, things die down a bit and can routine and even boring at times. IT is easy to take each other for granted. I think if you love the person then you will try to break out of that routine from time to time. If you both love the relationship itself...that is best of all for you will both be committed to keeping it strong. The comfortableness is good....there is nothing like it but you both have to be creative and do things out of the routine to keep it alive.

to be in love and being in-love would be like - to eat and the other to be fed. When u want to eat u would take all the efforts to have a good meal but if u r fed that is loving someone, u try to give the person yr best but the one who is fed may or may not be always happy with you. I am not able to explain it properly but i guess if u think over it u will be able to understand what i want to explain. So yes there is a differnce in loving and being in-love.

love is only a simple word that we cannot feel by ourselves
but in love is different.we can feel it with our heart
