difference between being in love and loving?

I believe there is a big difference. When one is in love, it is a wonderful feeling wanting to do everything for that person, knowing that you cant, but you want to. Wanting to make that person feel as wonderful as he or she makes you feel, wanting to share, and grow. When you love someone, you know you will always care for them, help them if absolutely needed but you dont have that "wow" feeling if that makes sence. To put it in other ways, I will always love the father of my children, I do not like the person he has become and am in no way in love with him, but we had many years together and share children so there will always be a love, but not an in love.

Yes their is a difference. The love I have more son, and the love I have for my ex-wife is totally different. Love has many forms.

it is hard to explain being in love, it is a chemical release of endorphins, that make you feel all happy and funny inside, it is totally different from anything else you have ever felt. loving is how you are naturally when you are a good person and want to do good things for people and animals and everything around you. You are very sensitive of everyone's needs, whether it is your lover, you friend a neighbour or a stranger, there isn't necessary one person in particular that you are in love with.

being in love is something really nice. you are madly in love with your partner.but you can be loving your parents,kids and all. these are different i think those all are related to different person that you love.

yes there is a huge difference....When you are in love you have no limits to what you will do for that person,even if it goes against what you really want to do....When you love someone its more like you love them but there can be limitations..I am not talking about children or parents,that is a deep love...But i am speaking of relationships between couples....You can love many people in different ways,being "In love" is all together another thing....

I love my husband. I am also in love with him. I love my parents but am not in love with them. I love my brother and my friends and my relatives but am not in love with them. Does that make sense? Being "in love" is a romantic thing, whereas loving someone is a platonic thing where you care about the person a great deal but not in a romantic manner :)

Hi MAHESH2008, In my opinion both feelings are same. Good Luck.

Yes there is a difference. You can love anyone, a friend, a family member or someone you know well. You can love someone you don't see very often. You can fall in love with some people, but not with others. It's not something you can know until you meet or get to know a person, then you get that special feeling of falling in love, thinking about them the moment you wake up each morning, and they are in your thoughts until you sleep again and dream about them at night. When you are in love you want to spend as much time as you can with the one you are in love with. You can fall out of love with someone or you can go on loving them and that first experience of being in love changes into a deeper longer lasting love.

Yes, I love my children but im in love with my partner how I feel is just different same as how I love my family is different to how I love my children and partner.
