“Like Is Not Love, Love Is Not Like”
Like and love are two completely different things. When a person likes somebody, he or she is just getting to know that person and trying to figure out if there is something more between the two of them. Like is just making friends, so it is not as deep as love is. People do not really know if they are going to grow to be the best of friends or discover that they really do not like each other as much as they thought they would. Many people think that there is no difference between like and love, but there are differences that exist.
It is one thing to like a person, but it is quite another to love that person. Like is a common and a good thing, but love is a spectacular and beautiful because two people can share with one another. Love will make people do things that they never thought they would do, and like will not. Finding love can be difficult, but finding to like somebody comes a little bit easier because people know that if they do not like those annoying little habits, it is easier for them to figure out and discover that they are not the one for them or they are not a deserving person to like.
Love is a different thing because love runs deeper than like, and love is more forgiving and more giving than like. It is not normal for an individual to give anything right away to somebody that he or she likes, but would do it for the person that he or she loves because it is more special and precious. Like is when somebody admires a person for the characteristics or looks, but loving somebody means making more sacrifice, being more giving and being a little bit more honest, and just accepting the way who the person is.
The factor of being honest to someone is also affected if a person likes or love somebody. Many people would lie and keep “dark” secrets from their crushes so they could keep a pretty image of themselves hoping that their crushes would like them back. Love and like are different because the only thing for love goes a lot deeper than like. When it comes to the emotions, if its involved into a relationships of either a man or woman, there are a lot of grey areas, although, some are usually clearly defined. One example of the latter, is the way that most people can differentiate the feelings that they have for someone they like and someone they love.
