What is the difference with being in love or being in lust?

Answer 1

When you are in lust, you just want to jump the person's bones all the time! You could care less about what is going on in their brain, their personality, or their life, you're just really into banging them, anytime, anyplace. It's like if you had just crawled through an open sewer line and hadn't taken a shower yet and the person you're in lust with called and said they needed sex right now, you would be there!

Being in love is when you accept a person's whole package. You love spending time with them, get to know them really well, and really care about what is going on with them. You feel that they make your life better, and that they help you be the best person you can be. You should love banging them too, but it's just a great extra in addition to all the other wonderful things you share with them!

Answer 2

One thing is Lust is self serving, it's about being sexually attracted to a person looks ONLY,
LOVE goes beyond the outside package Love gets into the heart, in the mind as well as the body.
When you lust someone, most of the time once you have had the sexual contact there is nothing more that you want.
But if you love someone you want more than just the sexual contact, you want it all, you want to be a part of the person, as you want that person to be a part of you to.
Love can grow into more than Lust can.
Some times when you lust for some one you can not get beyond that part, it's very shallow and it does not last too long once you have gotten what it is that you're lusting for.

Answer 5

looking at a bird flying in the sky and appreciating its beauty is love...

trying to put it in a cage in your home is lust..

The basic difference is freedom...

If your love/lover is going out with someone else..or has many boy/girl frieds, ..does it make you jealous..if so, then its lust..

The true test of love says one philosopher is that it will create a feeling of bliss inside you..if its creating pain, then its lust..

its just the pain produced when molecules of different bodies cant come closer..

on the other hand true lovers may be miles apart , but their love doesnt diminish, and they wont feel miserable..they may not marry , they may not see each other for their entire life..but they love each other, without having a reaction of pain..

Usual human love is a combination of both...its a crude form of love..

Answer 6

I guess if all you want to do is to screw the person and then leave its lust. If you want to stick around with the person afterwards for the rest of your life its being in love. I guess that explains it to me.

Answer 7

Lust is wanting sex badly; love is wanting to just be near the person.

Answer 8

Probably not. At least not with the methods gals are using at the moment. Nevertheless it sounds awkward that you're pursuing a love interest based on a thought conceived in a gherkin-jerk session. Are you sure it could actually work? No offence, but it sounds more like you'd be the kind to get bored after knowing him.

Answer 9

When you lust after someone you just want their body. When you are in love with someone you want the whole package from head to toe.

Answer 10

love is something you feel inside your heart. lust is just feeling an attraction . that usually comes from hormones. sometimes it takes a little time to feel the difference.
