There really is no dfference. They are both love. People just use the in love part to sound more serious.
Like when getting out of a relationship. "I'm not in love with you anymore." It's bs.
You either love or you don't.
People just confuse the two of them cause supposedly being "In Love" is more that honeymoon feeling and when people don't feel that intense Love anymore they think the relationship has dried up.

Ok.. first, people's definition of being "in love" - that it is what happens first and then just turns into love is wrong ... What happens first is Lust , then you have Love - (which can be very different, depending on whether its a child, family member, etc...) is wanting to be around that person, enjoying spending time with them - it's a bit deeper than just friendshop... In Love is when you think about that person pretty much all day - you cant wait to see them, be around them. You're happy doing anything, just as long as you are near them, and it's when you're truly happy... they start coming first before alot of things (like say you had tickets to a ballet you REALLY wanted to go to, but he got tickets to that game hes been wanting you to go to with him, and you choose the game). In love is when that person completes you

I don't know that the definitions I'm going to give you are in any dictionary in the way I'll put them, but they are the way I've come to think of the two terms:
Being "in love" is the romantic feelings we have for someone, feelings often tinged by extreme emotions and unrealistic views.
To "love" is a frame of mind, something we hold in our thoughts about a loved one. It is not charged with emotion but is often subdued, comfortable, and always what we believe about the other. It does not change, regardless of our emotions.

Being "In Love" is that chemical, emotional high that occurs very early in a relationship. It's the intense desire and attraction. Love is something that develops over time....a friendship that deepens into a care and concern and joy in being with somebody.
Never make a long term commitment based on being 'in love'...cause 'in love' cannot last. It's the theory of diminishing returns....the more you satisfy the desire...the more it will fade.

There are major differences between loving someone and being in love with them. You can love your friends, your family relations but you are not in love with them. Being in love with someone means you want to please them more than you want to please you. It also means that your heart aches when you are not together. You want to kiss and touch them, to fall asleep beside them and have them there in the morning when you wake! Being in love with someone also means being physically attracted to them, wanting to make love to them, to give them pleasure. It means a lot more too but it would take hours to tell it all. Hopefully you get the idea!!

Love can wait for sex after marriage and gives respect to each other. In love can hardly wait to hit the sheets and respect is sometimes optional.
