for me...its like this my ex husband i love to this day and will always love; but am i in love w him; NO. lol loving a friend or family member like Louisa said is different, being in love is the lovey dovey feeling of love (lol i'm such a dork! ) ... wow this is alot harder to explain than i thought....my bad!
I have never understood when people said that there is a difference between being in love and loving someone.
I am in the fortunate position whereby I love a number of people and I know that a number of people love me.
Love is good no matter how it appears.
being in love is when you get goose bumps and tingle when you see that peson and an electric current seems to flow hrough you. you dont get that when you see your gran ,friend etc
being in love means there is some passion, if not ....you are not in love.
simple really
