    Love is a choice and lasts forever.
    Crushes last until you find someone better…and you go by feeling.

    This is a horrible cliche but its true. You wont know love until it slaps you in the face…and it will.

    Is that not obvious??? String crush is an intense short terms emotion that gets decimated and crushed. True love… On the other hand shall be buried deep in heart and remains alive even if it gets killed in real life….

    Well first of all, if you’re a teenager, then it’s just a crush.
    (Bah, Humbug !!! right ! )

    True love will stand the test of time, it won’t leave for the next best thing, it will stay true even when there are a few reasons to quite, and it grows with time, not diminishes.

    Love is when you feel that you’ll want that person to be happy (even when 2 of u are not meant to be together) and will be more than willing to sacrifice for them without expecting any form of reciprocity. You accept the person’s flaws and love him/her for who he/she is. You put the person way above yourself and always think in terms of his/her interests so much so that you seem to be neglecting yourself. It’s like a trap and you don’t realise it, or more simply put, you don’t care because it doesn’t matter to you.

    Crush is a very good first impression you have of someone, mainly because the physical attraction you have for him/her. You’ll like to get to know him/her more. It stops there because you didn’t really have a chance to get to know him/her deeper. But once you realise something bad about him/her, you immediately go “eek… ?” then move on to the next target. The feeling fades pretty fast and before you know it, you’re over him/her.

    Of course, there is a chance that a crush can develop into something deeper like love. But well, just to comment that die-hard romantics are almost non-existent in today’s society.

    Understand that the true meaning of Love is so diverse and varies from person to person……….and the word lust really just tends to relate to intense sexual feelings for another which is not love. With that being said, it is up to you to really figure out if it is love your feeling or lust.

    True love is written in storybooks and movies and fairy tales. Love is only a term for strong crush in my experiences. I don’t even bother looking for love because love would be an unconditional experience which cannot exist because of bloody divorces and break-ups. Strong crush is great but I would recommend to stay away from anything serious and think more about taking care of yourself and your future. Look out for number one.

    true love lasts forever till we die ……….. but crushes change day by day

    Crushes give you butterflies, and not much else. Love gives you butterflies, then makes your heart ache for them.

    I believe that love can only exist when it is returned. In other words if the person doesn’t feel the same way about you then it’s not love, it’s only infatuation.

    Unfortunately I have never been in love so I can only explain what it isn’t, not what it is.

    I thought I was in love with my daughter’s father. We were never in a relationship outside of our sexual relationship. Even though he hurt my feeling throughout my whole pregnancy and didn’t live up to being the father he and I thought he would be; I had strong feelings for him. It wasn’t until I slept with him for the first time again after about 8 months that I realized it was lust. We have a strong sexual connection that’s very satisfying and it’s alluring and in that moment I want all of him. When the sex was over I felt free of him. I like nor love nothing about him but no man can touch me the way he can. We’ve never even kissed and it’s a lot of passion between us. I try not to kiss on him because naturally want to kiss and the thought of kissing him scares me. I think lust can lead to love if you let it. True love is unconditional love. It stands the test of time. When you think about the person your heart races and you get a rush.
