I have a simple answer of it.... LOVE = WITHOUT ANY SELFISHNESS, FAITHFULNESS AND MANY MORE LUST = SELFISHNESS... I THINK YOU WILL GET ME...

I gree with this, I can honestly say I love my husband, he can be a pain sometimes, but then so can I but he wouldnt be who he is as an individual. I would move heaven and earth if need be for him.

One - night stand is an example of lust, craving for someone's physical attributes without emotional attachments. It is just for a moment.. On the other hand,love doesn't go for looks. It is a feeling for a lifetime. Sense of commitment, responsibility, loyalty and faithfulness are there.

Well, Love and lust are the two most confused concepts in all cultures around the world. While there's no clear, fool-proof way to decipher your feelings for someone, there are certain ways to make the distinction between love, lust and infatuation clearer for yourself. Love is all about the little things. When you are really, truly, in love, you don't feel the need to dress up for them. The most important thing is being with them. Butterflies are not usually present in love. You should not feel nervous when you really love someone. Love means you connect with them spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. And love means differences, disagreements, and arguing (but not fighting) because who wants to be with someone who is the same as they are? You feel refreshed when you are with them, but not necessarily weak when you are away from them. If you think about them all the time, always, it is probably lust or infatuation, not love. The most important thing you should consider is, can I say 'I love you' and truly mean it? By definition alone the two differ in that, love is based on an affinity while lust is based solely on desire.

Lust is if you like her body, love her for her as boobs. love her for her kiss. that will be lust get my point.? If you love her for her way to care for you. The way she handles things. Love her for who she is. Not for how she looks and how good she/he is in bed.
