Love vs. Being in Love?

Love is very general; like if you love your family or friends.

Being in love is only one person, that person may be your boyfriend/girlfriend,...

You can have lots of love, but you being in love is a more specific person, 'that' some one.

Love makes the world go round.

I'm assuming the question is in reference to a boyfriend / girlfriend, and not a family member or general friend. When somebody says, "I love you, but I'm not In-Love with you.", then be very aware such person is extremely confused. It is not possible to love, but not be in-love, because falling in love comes before actually loving the person. So when you hear such cheap statements, then it's your first clue the person doesn't know what true love is because he/she has never experienced it yet. You might also consider moving on and looking for someone else, because you're probably wasting your time with that person. 1st gear - There are different torques (strengths) of love in a relationship, but "falling in love" is only 1st gear, because it is the initial infatuation seed being planted in the relationship. How it grows from there is up to the couple. This is also where intimate affection may occur and Oxytocin is being released into the brain. You really can't get anywhere at all without Oxytocin (look it up, it is essential in pair bonding and romance). 2nd gear is care. You care deeply about the person and would do anything for the person. 3rd gear is sacrifice. You're willing to make sacrifices for the person, and to keep the person in your heart. 4th gear is commitment. You're willing to make serious promises that the person will always be your one-and-only center of your universe. 5th gear is marriage. You would rather die than not be with the person forever. 6th gear is maximum true love. This is where you have sworn your soul to love the person even beyond death. If the person dies before you do, then you will never seek another. Hope that helps

There is a big difference. Think of the love you have for your mom or dad or close friend. Being in love is so different that that. It's like you literally can't live without that person. It's like your heart is owned by them. You can love anyone and anything but you can't just be in love with anyone or anything. It's more of a passion. It's very distinct.

being in love is feeling giddy when the other person calls you. Loving someone can mean you love them but you;re not in love with them.

I have been in the infatuation part of love but never longer than a year and a half so I don;t know committed commited love yet.

This man I'm with someone I am very much in love with and I would do anything I mean anything for him in a heartbeat. I don't know why. I always would take care of a man but I would do anything for this man. don't tell him I said that. hehe. seriously I guess you're in love when you feel that way.

Loving someone is like loving your family.Being in love with someone is a feeling like no other,you always think about them you always want to be with them you always want them around,evey song you hear reminds you of them,they are the last thing you think about before you go to sleep.And they,are just your everything. (:

love is like caring for someone.

being in love is like really truly loveing them, and being happy, and you'd be willing to do just about anything to make that person happy.

Love = the love you give to your family & friends.

Being in love = the love you give to your one & only.
