"Love" is just that thing you tell girls when trying to coerce them into sex.

I.. wish this were a lie.

This gets asked on the ask the opposite gender thread at least once a week.

>Is there a difference between loving someone, and being IN love?

>big differences, when you're IN love you have a clouded sense of judgement, a lot of people confuse arousal as loving someone, since chemicals change how your brain works. everything they do is amazing, even if it's not, and you're willing to do things for them even if they're bad or stupid because things just feel so good.

>however, loving someone, you know you want to do the things for them, not because your hormones are telling you to but because you want to. because you want to keep them safe and they genuinely make you happy, even if you're not horny.
>In love with someone:
>>A sense of overwhelming emotion (kind of like liquid excitement and addrenaline)
>>butterflies/twiterpation
>>borderline obsessive behavior
>>feel "blinded" by love or like you have "rose tinted" glasses

>Loving someone:
>>A sense of calm and security (kind of like a gentle warnth of a soft blanket)
>>A mutual bond that is based on trust, mutual understanding, and a history of shared experiences
>>An ability to acknowledge both the good, and the things you can genuinely say are absolutely disgusting and gross, but accept nonetheless

>Both aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but one takes MUCH longer to establish and, by it's nature, generally requires the other person to feel about the same.
