How can you differentiate between "Liking Someone and truly Loving Somebody"?

I think Liking a person is just a way of appreciating once beauty or attitude of a person but Loving a person is like a way that he/she is so important for you in any special things that you do in your life for an inspiration in life it might be......

he may have mistaken it for infatuation that is if he is confuse because if one loves someone ,one does not doubt as what his feelings for that person.

i think these are steps of love. liking someone means the fondness has started but there is no certain way to know whether it is true love or not., its confusion session. then after sometime that can change to true love.

Liking someone is a passive, temporary, fleeting emotion, unlike truly loving someone is a strong emotion that involves commitment to the other. Althoug loving someone also encompass liking the other cuase you cannot love that person if you havent like him/her in the first place however, liking someone doesnt necessarily mean that you are truly loving that someone. Its like when we saw a person shoes or some things we couldnt say we love them, but if you say you truly love your husband or wife you would'nt deny that you havent liked them in the first place. As for your friend, maybe he should establish his reasons if he likes the person or loving that person already. As I previously defined, liking is a fleeting emotion and loving is permanent one.

when you say like for me it means infatuation. you just like a certain thing or qualities that he/she had. love means to me,is accepting who really he is,he's background,(without judging his past), and the weaknesses that he got.when you see his the one that you can share a life with. that love for me.

When you like someone, I think that's about it. You just like that person and you don't put much thought into that. Truly loving someone requires deep thoughts and ideas about spending time together and growing old together. If you can't see yourself spending the rest of your life seeing that same person everyday, then that's probably not love. If you truly love someone, you'd do anything for that person.

if there is a physical attraction,then it should be love otherwise it is plain like.happy posting

I think if you love somebody you know and that you shouldn't make a commitment if you're not sure.

Thats smiple if you just like some one then you are not attracted to them and you just like to hang out with them, Now if you love some one you are attracted to them and you just can't stop thinking about them you want to be with thme all the time.
