Many times we confuse these terms for they are very very similar. I find it important to state that they are NOT the same thing. Love, we love many people. We love family members, our pets, our partners, even material things. But we are not IN love with most of them. We are usually IN love with our partners or that special someone.
What is the difference? Well, both situations we do express our feelings be it by favors, or by simply accompanying others or whatever it is we do. But, when we are IN love, the type of affection is very very different. We kiss in special places, we share very intimate moments, and not only that, but we want to spend with that other person every waking hour. Their happiness is our happiness.
We constantly think about them, we desire them. I can love my friends, but I am not in love with them. I don't have this urge of showing my love constantly. Sure I can hug them, perhaps buy 'em gifts, but the things I'd do with a partner are very different to those I'd do with my friends.
Love can be complicated sometimes but if you listen to your heart carefully, you can make out what it is telling you. Love your friends and be in love with that one special person that makes you feel awesome.
