**To forestall wank: this is only about the difference between romantic vs. romantic feelings, NOT the difference between romantic vs. platonic feelings, thank you**

How do you know if or when you love someone?

How is it different from liking a person very much?

What cues do you use to figure out when a relationship moves from being quite fond of someone to loving them?

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more...

whoa Oooooh oh oh oh oh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh. (Dance break)

Baby don't hurt me.

I think it's absoluteness. Hard to explain though.

To me, given that I'm a sexual person, any romance I have will definitely have that spark of lust.

But, more broadly, I think romantic feelings stem from thinking "This is the person I want to share my life with."

When you have friends and family, they're definitely important to you, but you don't build a life with them the same way that you would a romantic partner, I think.

did you even read OP's question?

I think anon was asking how to tell the difference between liking someone romantically and loving someone romantically. It's both romance, but where is the line between like and love?

It's just a feeling. Like you feel more complete and happy when you're with them. I know thst sounds cliche and people are probably lining up top tell me off for implying you're not while if you're not in a relationship, but that's not the point. It's just the feeling that comes with being in love.

my answer would be "I have no clue"

I can date people for months and like them very much and I don't know if I love them or not

sa

oh yea and everyone says "if you have doubts it's not love" then well I gues I've never loved anyone at all

Holding you close and giving you kisses aren't the only symbols of love, Small Lady...

EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE
EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE
EVERY BOND YOU BREAK
EVERY STEP YOU TAKE
I'LL BE WATCHING YOU

What cues do you use? Here's a wild, extraordinary thought, OP: TALK TO EACH OTHER. *grumbles and waves cane* I blame Twimblr and Failbook and whatever other social media site is popular right now, for questions like this.

"I have no clue" anon from above

eh? how is talking to the other person supposed to clarify your internal feelings about whether you consider yourself "in love" with them or "in like" with them, if you aren't sure yourself?

I think you're being too harsh on Twimblr, tbh

(Anonymous) - 2015-03-05 00:48 (UTC) - Expand

FYI just because you don't use social media sites for whatever reason doesn't mean using dumb insult names like "failbook" (or "facefuck" is another popular one I hear) makes you look cool.

For me, it crosses/crossed into love when I realized, "If you weren't in my life, I would be missing something huge."

I think that works for all types of like/love, though. There are a couple of friends who, after we drifted apart, I never gave a second thought to, even though I did truly like them. But my close friends, I still miss, and I wish I could hang out and catch up.

It's the same with my husband. He's not just someone I enjoy spending time with. I need to spend time with him, or I feel desperately lonely.

"It's just a feeling, it's just a feeling, a feeling that's been named/But was it a feeling, what is a feeling, a feeling that I'm afraid"

I really hate the word, for semantic reasons.

People want to use it for some kind of exclusive romantic thing, but also for familial affection, and for affinities of various levels.

"Do you love her?"
"Uh...I love onions."

I first realized I was in love with my partner when I started having thoughts about what it would be like to lose her, and with that the realization that I would probably never get over it. I also periodically get really worried if she doesn't contact me at our scheduled times.

I knew she was a life partner when I started to realize that she also does all the "right" things, like filling in the parts of my experience that I lack and complementing my strengths and weaknesses. Her approval makes me question my choices and philosophies, and expands my understanding. It's a cliché, but she really does make me a better person.

Beyond that I think the ideas about wanting to spend life together and being able to communicate and have fun are pretty solid ones for friendship and love alike; passion tends to fade but a good relationship lasts because you enjoy each other's company.

When you would kill for them.

eh heh eh heh eh heh
