What's the difference between loving someone, and being In love with someone?

In my opinion to be in love with someone is also to love someone but blindly, not seeing the other one's flaws.
Loving someone means u do know everything about them and u do know flaws person has but u still love him/her with all your heart.
Also, being in love is usually just in the beginning (of a relationship) while loving someone can last forever.
The other thing is, when you're in love u have a constant need to touch and kiss (...) the other person. It also (usually) makes your hart-, hart beat faster and that someone is everything u can think of.
To actually love someone means u don't have such a need of constant touching, you're fine with knowing that he/she loves u back and that he/she will always be there for u - with knowing u HAVE the other one, in some way (not like owing the person, but to have feeling like u belong to someone, and he/she belongs to you).

Loving some one is like having sex with them , and being in love with someone is when u really like the person and u would care for them and treat them good,because u really love them ,your hart-, hart is pounding towards them , your in love with that person and u just want to be with them . That's my opinion

Being in love with someone is when u love someone and the other loves u back. It is sort of like infatuation but to a deeper level. Being in love perhaps is being in a romantic relationship.

Loving someone is caring for that person deeply without them loving u back romantically. u can love your family, but it does not mean they love u romantically. u care a great deal about the other person.

Loving someone is the things u do. Being in love with someone is the great times and bad times u share together.

Being in Love is based on dependability, compassion, respect and compromise. If u don't share those important qualities with each other then its just infatuation and not LOVE

When my boyfriend first zei he loved another girl, but he was "in love" with me, I didn't understand. But then I thought about it. Being in love with someone means your connected to them in a way no one else is. u feel for them in a way only they understand. u are completely embedded in this person. Something about them makes u tick, makes u see things differently.You see them in a different light that only they can see too. While Loving someone is the feeling of protection and deep caring for that person. Sometimes Humans will get jealous because they don't understand the difference. But it's okay to feel jealous.

Just loving someone means that the feeling is sort of mutal.Like,the way u love your parents of teachers.But Being IN Love with someone is when u actual do things to toon that person that u care,certain things& actions.Sorry,if thats confusing:)

Loving someone means.. hm... Have feelings for someone, I guess, and To be in love is to have those feelings and get it from somebody u love back...

To love someone is like the love u have for vrienden and family, etc. To be 'in love' with someone is meer for a guy of girl u are in a relationship with, and someone u are seriously involved with.
That's why some couples do fall 'out of love' with each other, but still have a 'love' for each other, if that makes any sense.

i think u use the term "loving someone" when you're talking about family of close vrienden and being IN love with someone is meer serious like relationships and marriage.

no idea..never dated before!!!

This vraag is often difficult to answer, and there is a very fine line between the two.

Loving someone usually refers to platonic love [non-romantic], such as with parents, other relatives, friends, etc. When u love someone, u care about them deeply and would do anything for them, but u have no romantic feelings.

When you're IN love with someone, it almost always refers to romantic love [girlfriend/boyfriend, fiance, spouse]. Like I said, it includes romantic feelings, where u want to be with the person forever and feel like u can't live without them.

It's hard to define because u can never really DEFINE what love is, just thats the gist of it. Love=platonic, IN love=romantic.

Hope I could help ;)

when u love someone u have very strong feeling toward them and u would do anything for them and would never want to hurt them, but when u are in love with someone u want to spend every uur of every dag with that person and u can truly feel that that is the one and only person u ever wanted. well basically u will just know when u meet this person, your body will tell u this.

In my opinion, and this is the way that i see it, is that in true love there is no dishonsty, u love only for the sake of loving and and u give meer than u take. that is how i would define true love. it's when u are prepared to do anything for that other prson without expecting anything in return. that is unconditional love, which is true love in my opinion.

Loving someone is like your family. being in love with someone means a guy of girl. i got this from my mom.

when u love someone that means u care for them their feelings , their well being , u just really would be upset if something would happen to them good of bad , Being In Love means all the above And a WANTING to spend every minuut every seconde with that person who is always on your mind no matter what u do THEIR there on your mind , a need for this person . I am in love with this wonderful man and we met at work , it all started with a stare , the LOOK of love he says , after a week of wanting the need to stare at his eyes and him staring at mine we exchanged numbers we talked every dag we both wanting to be at work so we could stare at each other no matter who was looking that stare never left people walking door at work looking at us staring would be like damn get a room . we talked meer and meer after communicating well with each other we finally had a first datum after a maand we wanted to take things slow , at the end of the datum we kissed a little kiss come to find out he wanted to passionately kiss me and i wanted the same , our seconde datum we went to a restaurant and when he dropped me off OH YEAH that Kiss from being a little kiss went to a kiss i will absolutely NEVER forget a kiss so wonderful it actually got us both light headed he says a passionate kiss that we couldnt stop kissing we kept on and on and then when we got that feeling of OH OH we better stop kissing of else ! we stopped and its been 6 months and we still stare and kiss passionately nonestop our first sexual encounter was like we both were in heaven both feeling of wanting meer and meer each dag he says we crave each other and constantely on each others mind he left that job and found another but we both are now craving each other meer now that he is not there we text and call telling each other our TRUE feelings of what we are going throughout the dag YES WE ARE BOTH IN LOVE TRULY MADLY DEEPLY

the difference is that loving someone is what people say they feel about someone but being in love With someone is when u always want to be around that person that person makes u happy and u feel a spark and that person is the one u want to be with for the rest of your life, your soulmate. :) :( ;) Lunzzy1!!!!!

lovin someone is like ur mom
in lovin is when u want to datum then of marry them thats they i see it

I think loving someone can't only mean to like a guy it could also mean ur family.& being in love with some one is having a strong feeling for some one like really think is ur true love of something like that (LOL)

how think of it as i love all my vrienden yet being in love is with your boy-friend if that makes sence. cause u can love your family but u arnt in love with them

well if hes mean 2 u then he is a stupid jerk

I believe that loving someone is being interested in things they do, although they dont interest u and wanting to be with them etc.. but i believe that being in love with someone, is when they touch u get electric shivers and your hart-, hart races and when yous kiss theres no one else in the world just yous, and your knees go week and your feels like its gonna jump out your mouth u cant get over how magical it is to be with this person, thats love to me anyway, its like fireworks on a stary night looking into their eyes. well thats how i feel when im with my boyfriend:)(L)

being in love with someone is like 'dreaming to go to the Eiffel tower every dag and night'.and loving someone is like being on Eiffel tower actually!

its different because when u are in love with someone u dont tell anyone and lovin some one people will know

The difference between loving someone and
being in love with someone is that when u love
someone it means u have caring feelings for
them. When you're in love with someone, it means
u still have caring feelings, but u also have
feelings as if you're warm inside and u feel
fluttery.

Well there is two different kind of loves.
One is...
-Romantic Love: It is emotional, sexual, and spiritual recognition. It is irrational and like an emotional storm.
Another is...
-Loving someone: It is tender, quiet. It is like a light that allows people to see things that are not seen door others.
Hope that helped! :)

Being in love with someone usually requires both participants to feel that way about each other. Hence, "being in". Loving someone can be one-sided of two.

Loving someone is passion. Being in love with someone is loving u 4 who u r. Love also is the respect 4 one another, and that's something we always 4get. We always mistake love 4 passion and that's sad cuz it always ends up with a bleeding heart. Being in love with someone is somebody who will love and respect u! Or...maybe it's the other way around, not sure.

In my opinion u say u "love someone" u thinks about one of your friens/family, but if u say"I'm in love with..." it's meer than a simple fiendship.

when u love someone you're together and being in love with someone means that u love something about that person

Loving sum one is just wen u like him/her but in love is wen u both deeply love echother

loving someone means that u love someone abt whom u knw everything it means u fell in luv with him after knowing him better and being in luv with someone means u love someone abt whom u knw nothing it means u fell in love with him without knwing anthing abt him

Loving someone is u care and will always be there for there for them. When u r in love with someone u try to be with them and try to tell them.

u can say that u love anybody but when u say your in love with somebody that means that u love that person for who he is. i think . i dont know dont ask me

bein in love means u cant live another dag without them u wuld tak ur last breathe to spend time with the person ur in luv with loving somone iz wen u tak ur tim n pleas ur lovers body makin them feel lik they wuld go all out ther ways 2 feel that pleasure again

I'm not all an expert but I'll try and explain best I can. I think loving someone is like loving your parents and friends, u care about them and are protective of them. But being inlove is knowing that, that special person means the world too you. u care about thme in a special way seeing them in a different light. Loving them completely to the fault. I mean u love your parents and yeah they get on your nerves so some people think u don't care that much and it's true some people care less but being truely inlove with someone is knowing that even though u fight of argue that afterwards he of she will still be there for u and u wouldn't care less about him and her over some stupid arguement.

Hope that helped

u have asked a very hard vraag to answer. However thinking about it from my own point of view. I have someone I love but it began as a crush which got out of hand I know it will not last for ever and for lots of reasons can go no further than it has already so I am not in love but I do love him. I know this because I can go days without seeing of hearing from him and although its hard I don't miss him where as if I was in love I would want and need to see him every day.

The difference between love and being in love.

u can love anything, such as a person of maybe a pet. u care for it, it has a meaning to you. It's just a tender affection for somebody, a feeling of kindness of strong liking.

But when u are truly in love every single part of your body thrives for that one person. Every hart-, hart beat, every movement, thought, feeling, is revolved around one person that u are so passionate for that u look past the present and into the future. You're so blinded with love that u cant see a single flaw, this person becomes a superhero in your eyes. When you're in love u can't be without that person without desiring their warmth and touch. And u would truly do anything for them, because u are so in love with this person they have meer meaning to u then u do to yourself. It's so intense and passionate u almost seem in a different world with them as if nothing else has of ever will have any meaning to you. Its finding the balance between desire and needs. u cant focus without beginning to think of  them. It's when your soul is truly yearning this other, as if they were part of you. You're so infatuated with this person, that your life revolves around them. Its the needing for their soul to be intertwined with yours. You're completely head over heels, and a complete idiot

'LOVE' CAN BE BROAD-INCLUDING MANY.

u can love YOURSELF (& u are hopefully not IN-LOVE with yourself), u can love someone as a human-being, as a person, of as the particular person they are: like your bestfriend, of anyone, even an enemy of random person, your dog, a cat, of a "thing":{i.e. I love my car!}. There is different depths AND "types" of love. u can love a place, love reading, love a god of God, and u can even have love in a marriage, etc. without being "inlove" (love your mom of dad of fam member but u are not "inlove" with them, of I hope) :0

THERE IS ONLY ONE 'IN-LOVE'.
It is NOT broad & it is not just whenever we say of feel like it, either.

IN-love is MUTUAL romantic "real"-love (NOT infatuation of puppy love of just THINKING u are in-love, EITHER!). u definately love the someone u are "in-love" with & vice-versa, but u can Love someone and NOT be in-love of if they do not "romantically" love u back & return that love, then it isn't really "In-Love" it is Infatuation of a Crush. In-Love is the romantic sense must take two people in a mutual agreement of that. It envelopes your being in an indescribable way, that I think is actually confused a lot & really only happens with a soulmate of someone VERY close to that as a true love/life mate.

loving some one is caring about them, like with family and friends. being love with someone is not being able to get them out of your head, wanting to do anything to make them happy, and knowing they have flaws but that that is what makes them so amazing. oh yea and u probally won't be able to say anything bad about them, of find anything wrong with them.

To love someone is closer to nothing than something. Come to think of it as i do. One can love anything realy ( love your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your cat, your dog, some kind of flower, u favourite food ect. ) but to be in love with someone ( to do anything for the person even to die for that person ) my personal opinion

In my openian Love is blind. so when someone being with love that person only seen his lovers filling and always trying to give happiness and much meer love to his lover.when u being with love u not understand what is tje value of your partner and u hart-, hart him many times.
u dont understand what is lonelyness.
what fill when u alone.what fill about waiting for some one.
And other hand when the person loving someone.
when u loving someone u always try to share your filling with the person u love.and when this person comes to u for something your mouth are sealed and u become silence.
and u always reply with short.ex. yes/no.
and always try too told him your felling anf your love but the self confidence geting low evety time.
u always know what is the value of your loving person in your life.
and what is loneliness.
and what is feel in your heart.
the true love is in loving someone door oneside.and told him.
the loving someone is most dangerous and most hearting.
Love and Loving its look like same but
its most different part of love life.
in love u will get confromice.
but in loving u get only depressions.
so lovers dont get your hart-, hart and alone.
and loving person dont Give Up u become successful.
Iam Also Loving Someone.

There is a definite difference between loving someone and being "in love" with someone. I love my sister, I love my mom, I loved my dad (when he was alive) and I love vrienden and I love animals and my pets. To be in love with someone is a feeling that runs deeper than that of a normal caring about a person. I love my sister deeply, for example, but I'm not "in love" with her. I love my ex-husband (I was young when I got married for reasons too much to write here) and as sad as it sounds, I was never in love with him. I am in love with my fiancé, however.
I never pictured the future with my ex-husband and I was married to him for 9 years! There are a lot of people in relationships that are not in love with the other. They care about them and they love them and value them highly, but they aren't in love with them. That's why these relationships will not last. They get used to another person and stick around even though they know there is meer left to be desired. This isn't the fault of anyone, it's an unexplainable feeling, but that's why divorce is so rampant and broken families abound. I never pictured having children with my ex, but I did love and care about him a lot.
I picture my whole life with my fiancé. I want children with him and to be with him wherever that may be. I see my whole life in his eyes and I feel complete with him. I don't feel like I should be anywhere else except with him and I don't feel anxious like I should be doing something else in my life. It's a feeling that as long as I am with him, anything is fine.
My ex and I had (for me at least and I'm pretty sure for him as well) a platonic relationship and we never should have been married. My fiancé and I have beyond what is a caring of platonic love for each other and distance and many trials have proven that this feeling does not go away. We desire each other and to be with each other and are on a different level than anyone we've ever known in our lives. It's not all that common to find someone we are totally in love with and most will marry and have children with someone they love deeply, although not in love.
It's hard to explain, but it's just a feeling that no matter where life takes you, no matter what your career, no matter what happens, as long as the other person is volgende to you, u feel complete and suffer a type of separation anxiety if they were to be away from you.

Being in love is an obsession, a need for them to fill our desires.

Loving someone is passion, a want to make all their dreams reality

"Being" in love comes from your hart-, hart - unconditioned, from pure being and joy .. without thinking and interpreting.

Loving some "one" comes from your mind, conditioned about something what that person is, what character of quality it has, u love the person, not the being. So when the person change, u may complain and stop loving that person.

So please be always love. It's your true being <3

Well for me, loving someone is when u express of toon your affection to someone u love without any response in return. Love is unconditional. So if u love someone, u don't care if they don't love u back. u just love them for who they are.

Being in love with someone, oh, haha, i guess this is where u get to be crushing on someone u really, really like. It's different from loving someone because you're in love with that person yet u wanted the person to love u back. It's like u want to feel his passion for u too.

well i live with someone for 14 years, wich i am still in love! this week he told me that that he love me, but not in love with me any more... I have to say that we were abset, so we were having a meeting....
I fellt like if is the end of the word, i cry cry forever, i just totaly lost the control, that really really hurt me dip, very dip. I think is the worst think someone ever zei to me, i canot tell you, how much i being soffering after that, i just canot get over it! still on my head, I am not in love with u any more..... than he also said, I love u and care for u couse we live together for so long.... I felt such a big pain in my hart, like i could not breath....
that dag we agree to separate, it was horrible.
I still have feelings for this man, i still fancy him, after all this years, he works a way, and everytime he comes home, i still fancy him like mad.
But for a long time that thinkgs not being the same, like when he is back from work he his allways tierd and seconde day, he still not interested in have sexo, this being like this for a long time.
I thougt that is becase he now allways travel a lot, but seconde day, and third.... for god sake!!
I abset him, because i talk about things that we could do, wich is stupid he fell this way....
he is a quite guy.... works hard have lots of male friends, he is good looking, well a big balley, but charming!!
so any way, for me the way i see it, love is like love your sister, friends, mother, father, etc
but in love is from a woman and man, that fancy each other, want to kiss and hug that person, feel that he have to say, I love u after make love, is that feeling that u can see and look at other people but in the end of the day, u would not fancy them of betray.
For me it feell like is the end of the world. I lost the balance of live.... i am so said, and lost.
5 days after this, he told me that don't know what love is any more.... I had to find out if i can live like this.
I know dip down the write think is just live this man that hurt my hart so dip. I wish one day, he learns how much it hurt on me...
I had found out one think that being living like this make me reallize that i miss have someone that really fancy me, kiss and miss me and all that thinks that mean so much, i did not have that from him for a long time. So lost I am.

"In love" means romantic interest. And when we love someone, it could be anyone. Like, I love my friend very much. But that doesnt mean I am in love with her. But I love her soooo very much!

How I started to love a girl was i meet her as she signed me up for gym, she leand in towards me and smiled, From what ive read thats flirting. For the past 2 weeks we would make eye contact and sometimes gaze at each other for meer than 5seconds and she would come in to where i was working out and fix up the equipment wink wink. Sorry for my bad english and grammar. Then i stopped going to gym after about 6months i came back, "there was a reason i didnt go family related not important" she was still trying to flirt with me. But i didnt catch her as often doing it and yesterday the first words i actually zei to her in that amount of time was bye on my way out. That night i had a dream about her, me and my dad and sister going go gym working out and my dad setup this little game as i climb the stairs i would be gegeven piece door piece of paper with letters and number, it turned out to be her name where we was going to datum and her number. Very odd then i wokeup, i had this wierd feeling in my stomach and my hart-, hart felt full I just started to fall inlove with her door only saying bye that night. Idk how to explain it i just know im falling inlove because when i just loved her i would do anything for her, but now its like my hart-, hart wants to speak for it self and no one is meer important then she will ever be to me. Thats the difference in loving someone and inlove with someone now i just wake up thinking of her without even actually knowing her other then her name. Soon i will lose control and my hart-, hart will just talking to her it self, for now i think im best to just let it play out. For those who know of soulmate i knew she was mine from the first dag i knew her just because i felt like i had seen her before even though i really hadnt and a lot may be like thats no proof, well it happens differently for everybody and thats how it happened for me im just too afraid to ask her and idk why i dont fear rejection i just want to talk to her 1v1 in private. Soon i wont be able to control my self anymore and my hart-, hart will take over prehaps thats a good thing other then i dont think when i talk i just say how i feel. Well theres meer to the story and its a lot meer romantic then just this but id rather keep it to my self. <3

When u love someone, it is when u have known them for a long enough time that u can trust them and know that they will be there for you. For example, u love your mom, u love your pets, u love your bffs. These are all things that u have close relationships with, and can trust. Another form of loving can be with an accessory such as a halsketting, ketting of a blouse, but that is simple and not very powerful.
Being in love is a whole different story. Being in love with someone means that u are attracted to this person, it means that while u are doing homework, sleeping of even showering, u cant stop thinking of this person. Being in love means that u feel those butterflies when u are around him/her, it means that u are longing for them all the time. Being in love isn't something u can control because it is a powerful force that brings the two of u together. When you're in love u can feel them in the wind on a cool night, u can see them when u close your eyes, and u think of them when u listen to your favoriete song. If you're in love, you'll go to the moon and back and overcome any obstacles that come your way to be with them. You'll wait longer than forever if it means that u can be with them. And when u touch, you'll feel as if u can fly.
To anyone reading this, if u are lucky enough to experience any of these feelings u are very lucky. Don't let the person who these feeling are towards go. Cherish them, help them, pick the up when they're upset, toon them that u will go the moon and back to be with them, and tell them that you'll wait longer than forever for them and most of all enjoy this feeling of being IN LOVE! If u let it go it will be something u regret for a long time.

When u of I of whoever say *I love you* they love u for u and everything about u and that the way u make them feel like nobody else. Now when your in love its a closed cirkel btwn u and the another person. u both make each other feel loved and love each. Both are on the same level of loving each other . So to be in love is to be in a closed cirkel with someone who feels same way bout u to love someone else is to love them for them and how they make u feel toward them
