The special feeling and caring that remains after the physical lust is long gone, is love |

Love dries your throat, lust makes you drool. |
As I expect. I know I will get shot when I try to give my tongue-in-cheek definitions.
LDS & JB, I am not saying there must be lust first before love comes. Not at all. I know I was in love when I felt it.
Actually, it's a bit difficult to define but love makes you just want to be with the person, to worry about the person, and to want to receive news or letters from the person.
I suppose, my one other try is this:
Absence makes the heart grows fonder ..... that's love.
Out of sight, out of mind ...... most probably is only lust.
Don't shoot me on that, ok. I am still very much in love with my wife.

Lust is when an attractive woman sees an attractive man and vice versa, they feel there hormones starting to work up, and get lustful temptations "Emotional and physical" reactions start to take place.
Love is deeper and has a spiritual calm relaxing feeling, well lust can also feel like that sometimes I suppose. So how will people ever know if they are in love or if they are in lust? Well if people are in lust they won’t feel attracted to there spouse when he/she looks ugly or tired and not sexy on that day...but when you are in love with someone that doesn’t matter and you still feel an inner love for that partner its not about how they look, you care for them miss them when they are gone, look after them when they are sick, if anything realize that they need you more when they are sick and stick by them, support them on there goals AND MOST OF ALL IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU WILL LOVE WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEMSELVES. If you love someone and they tell you Hey I want to be with another man! Then you will tell her ok! i love you and want you to be happy if you love him go for it! If someone is in lust the man will get angry at his girl having another man and say no i want you to be all mine and try to kill her. Well even men who are in love still don’t want their wife to go with another man but im exaggerating my point a little.
So in the lustful relationship it was all "oh I love you please don’t leave ME oh I want you don’t go to another man.
In the love relation ship Oh i love YOU but since i love you so much i want you to be happy...
So loving someone doesn’t necessarily want him or her to stay with you, loving your self wants the person you love to keep yourself happy.
Delcita, no offense but that just sounds more confusing. You are mixing lust and love at the same time. Easily put:
Lust is based on self-gratification
Love is based on caring about others
So if you see a beautiful woman walking down the street, that is first adoration, if prolonged, where you imagine yourself with the woman, then it is lust, and if you get to know the woman and see those qualities within here and feel that you want to be close to her in BOTH good and bad times, you want to be better, do better and treat her as a queen then it is love.
My dear people lust yes we all and i do mean all of us have had that feeling of [ oh man would i like to get close to that] for those of us who would have a hard time understanding close in street terms its WHAM BAM THANK YA??now for love in a very simple statement you are with the person of the opposite sex [at least i hope they are for your sake but in this day and age who cares] because you feel a sense of beloning , a sense of wanting to be there,shareing with pooling your resources to become one yes there is a huge difference between LUST AND LOVE you bet your bottom dollar on that one
