How do you tell the difference between love and lust?

lust is something and love is something. lust can happens because of love and also the opposite is the same as i think.

Love is invisible to the eye as it is a feeling but lust can be seen. That's the difference. One needs to spend time with someone to feel love. Love is wanting to be in someone's company with no desire for lust many a time and this is the true indication that one is in love.

True love is unconditional.A person who really loves someone always puts his or her lover first, is ready to sacrifice everything for his loved one and has complete faith and trust in him or her.Whatever situations may arise their love will always be steadfast and will never succumb to adversity.Their love is not just for the body but of the heart and soul and will never be broken.On the other hand a lustful person is like a butterfly,flying from one love to another .He just wants to have fling and has a roving eye for another catch.The person with lust in his heart looks only for the body and once his desire is fulfilled he jumps to another body.His lustful desire is never satiated and like a greedy person he will soon be chasing another body to satisfy his desires.He is completely untrustworthy and unfaithful.

I believe, when you go for defining love, lust is the last thing, which comes maybe after a couple of years or more in the relationship! Cause I've seen many of my friends who are in relationship, but never touched each other! Lust is something which you encounter passing by the streets, looking at a hot male or female, or it can be a person whom you know since a long time, and just want to have it! I guess I'm able to differentiate it in a better fashion!

love may derive lust, but lust will not derive love...(thats why one night stand is so popular)

Hi, Awinds! Men are good at giving/showing lust that giving/showing love. I think, ladies could easily tell the difference of love from lust. If it's just lust that the guy wants from a lady, definitely after he had have what he wanted, perhaps he'll play cold on the lady. Most likely, he won't bother calling anymore and if he you wanted to see him, he will find ways just to make himself look busy or anything. Love may be derived from lust. I agree with that. If it's love, well, definitely, the man exert efforts. I think, nowadys, if a lady wants to have a serious relationship with a man, she should think over and over again what the guy did for her before giving herself up to him. :)

It's too obvious when it's all LUST, for the guy won't givemuch effort to the relationship unless it's done in bed. And for sure, you're not the only mate in his life, he's for sure a crap and don't do special things for yah. Just mainly bed scene! AND IN LOVE, all is chocolate, really sweet caress and he's doing everything for you. Meet you up with his parents and introduced you to his friends. Will always spend his time with you and talks about settling down. Having kids and he shares his hopes, heartaches and great plans for both of you.
