writes:Can someone explain the difference to me about love and lust? See I've been crushing over this guy for ages, but I can't decide whether I feel love or lust. I know that only I can tell for sure whether I am in love but I cant decide whether it's just lust.I've been crushing over him for ages, and he says he's not interested, but I've had several sexual dreams about him. We also nearly hooked up once after a party but I stopped things because I wasn't prepared to lose my virginity to someone who didn't love me.Thanks in advance.

 This is practically going to sound cheesy, but when you love someone you want more than their body. You don't just want sex and it's not all about the crazy sex dreams. You want to know everything about them. When you think about them a smile just comes onto your face. When you tell them something about yourself you value their opinion more than your other friends. Being in love is amazing and not something most people experience now.
Lust is just purely physical. Nothing else, you only want the body. When you lust over someone their opinion does not matter to you, all you want is their body. When your in love you may want their body, but won't push them into something they don't want.
I hope this helps.

 Love is something that grows over time due to sharing a lot of experiences, being together, agreeing about things, giving each other care and concern, being available and more.
Lust is just sexual attraction, usually based upon little more than physical appearance or simply a need for sexual gratification with a willing partner.

Lust is when you can see yourself with someone. Love is when you can't see yourself without them.
