How do you distinguish loving a person and liking a person?

..hi.. in my personal view, like is the starting of love.. If you like to spend more time with the person and you feel complete with his or her presence, then you are starting to fall in love.. the thing is, you can never really explain love by words.. you just have to feel it.. You don't plan whom to love, it just comes.. sometimes, unexpectedly.. the most distinguishing factor between love and like is, liking involves shallow appreciation and it doesn't involve any emotions.. loving is when you feel an emotional attachment to the person and this already involves showing some concerns and jealousy when you see that person spending time with other person and they seem happy.. jealousy is apart of loving.. you just have to control it so that it won't ruin any relaitonship.. last thing I want to tell you is, "the heart has its own reason that reason doesn't know".. this means we cannot really fully explain what love is as I've mentioned earlier.. I hope you find the right person for you.. never be afraid to be hurt because that's also a part.. it's better to love and be hurt than not to have loved at all..

Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. Of course if you don't love yourself, you probably can't get up the love you need for them. A neighbor is anyone you see or pass on the street. Everyone.

If it's love, you give your love to the only one. He/she is unique. But, you can like more than one person in the meantime. One can distinguish love and like only by his feeling.
