    i might not be an english major but every teen girl understands and throughly knows the differences in these words.

    1) Love- a carelessly flaunted word that seems to mean nothing to this generation but for those who understands the full meaning then this word would mean "i cant live without you and no matter how far away you are from me i will think of you. know that my feelings surpass anything that i have ever felt and you mean more than the owrld to me. i would go to any length to hold onto you."

    2) Like- seemingly girlish teenager would use this lame word to have you understand that you have a true interest in something. mostly ending up being a boy.

    3) friendship- everyone thinks of this diffferently. but for me my friends are my family and i would do anything for them. that person is there for me when i need them and i do the same for them

    5) b/f and g/f (girlfriend and boyfriend)- in a relationship were you care about the other person more thn a friend or family member. you share memories, feelings, and care about one another.

    6) lover- in my sense i dont think that you care about tis person as much as you care about a person in a relationship. but i guess that if you ar in a relationship you could consider that perosn your lover too.

    7) ex - previous relationship that you dont want to talk about due to the fact that you are heartbroken, torn, or just trying to get over it.

    1. Someone/thing that one is very fond of and sometimes might not necessairly have to like.

    2. Someone/thing that one is fond of.

    3. Someone who is always there for you through thick and thin, that you can have fun with yet still fight but make up later...

    4. Someone who is basically family just not blood related.

    5. b/f and g/f are just titles that let others know that you are spoken for.

    6. Someone that is hidden from the other person you hold a title with.

    7. Someone that you held the b/f/g/f title with before but not now.

    1) love = one you shared a personal, possibly intimate (ie, sex) relationship with, u end up loving them so much u could hate em lol

    2) like = someone u have some admiration, genuine respect for

    3) friendship = like #1 + 2, but more childlike

    4) friend= is #1 + 2 combined - (minus) sex

    5) b/f and g/f = see #1

    6) lover = definitely all sex

    7) ex = they tried to be all the above and failed to meet ALL your expectations.

    I believe it's up to each individual to define these terms. A lot of people use some of these terms so loosely that it's impossible for one person to define them and satisfy anyone else other than themselves.

    1) Love- is having the ultimate companion u never seem to tire of one another ..only long to be closer and closer..the sex gets better and better even when u thought it couldnt..you have alot of the same qualities..very seldom disagree nor do u want to disagree...when u do have a fight a lot of the times cant even recall what it was even about..

    2) Like - is having strong attraction for someone you may admire or may admire and want something even closer.

    3) Friendship- is having someone to share secrets with and they never tell anyone else you build a trusting bond and u never want to loose them.

    4) Friend-someone who is close to you ..you think of them often and someone you can pray with.

    5) BF- someone you go out and have fun with..it sometimes develops into monogamus sex and he ends up trying to be your boss. GF- someone you share secrets with and love being around them.

    6) Lover- this is the one you long for..when you want held..you think of him.. first thing when your eyes open and last thing b4 u fall asleep..No One can ever take his place nor do u want anyone to take his place..if another reaches for u ..u want to cringe cuz its only his affections you want and need and desire...

    7) Ex- this is someone you had all of the above feelings for at one time..they somehow made you ache or cry so much ..your heart eventually emptied out..and your not even sure how or why but it happened and now u could either loathe them or remain cordial if children present..
