love is spiritual. lust is sexual. attraction is mental. heres what i mean. you can love someone you arent attracted to sexually, so its spiritual. you can lust after someone without being attracted to them, for example, dumb blondes. hot as h*** but you cant connect with them mentally. and attraction, you ever struck up a convo in a store with a complete stranger and enjoy it? thats an attraction.

Attraction is when you notice a person for the first time because there may be some possible mutual attraction, or they meet some ideal you have for the opposite sex.
Lust can be the next step in the attraction phase, or can rear its head spontaneously, as in seeing someone that you immediately think "yeah, that's definitely doable", or "OH MY GOD!!” Lust can also be in a committed relationship with a person you love. Sometimes they just do, say, or act in a way that makes you want to say "JUST TAKE ME NOW!!” It makes you remember why you were attracted to or fell in love with that person in the first place.
Love on the other hand can take many forms. It can be for an individual as in your "One True Love", or for a relative; mom, dad, sister, brother, child etc. It can be for a pet and it can even be for a place or time (reminiscing). I believe that some people fall into love or share their love more easily than others. I also believe that love is addictive and some people, when losing the object of their love, must quickly replace it. Where as some believe unfortunately that they could never possibly love again.
I once thought that there was no way I would ever be able to love another child as much as my first. I was terrified that I would not be able to love our second child as much when it was born. I learned a valuable lesson, love is infinite, you can never run out, you can never have too much, and if you look for it, you will eventually find it.
Also, you can never say "I Love You" too often or even often enough, if when you say it, you really mean it and feel it.

Love is a feeling that grows between two individuals, as they share moments and experiences in their life time. Lust is desiring something or someone you can't have or achieve. Attraction is the feeling you have towards someone, which there's nothing wrong with it as long as it does not turn into lust. Attraction is a normal God given feeling. For example, we are attracted to people or friends who are positive,upbeat, and happy, that make us feel good. Those are characteristics that we look for in friendships, as well as mates.

Attraction is when you meet someone find you have things in common and want to get to know them better. Lust is physical attraction, you don't necessarily have any intellectual attraction to them. I think love happens when you have had attraction and lust for a person over time.

You can be physically attracted to someone and not actually like the person.......though they have a physical effect on you.
Lust is what you feel first, when you just lust after someone it is very powerful but you see everything through rose colored glasses. Its full of passion and intensity. When that passion and intensity continues.......and you start to work out the issues you see could become a problem....distance, kids, friends, dreams whatever....when you want to work those things out because you would do anything to be with that person.......thats when you start getting into love.....and it hurts, in the sweetest way possible, its is bliss and pain at the same time. And its worth it!

Love is a deep appreciation for the person. It need not include sexuality nor romance. Romance is basically a courtship ritual. Lust and attraction are basically the same thing.

Lust - merely sexual. Your body responding to it truly is needs, no longer your ideas. you could lust for someone and in no way even remotely like them or extremely understand them. Has no substance or well worth in case you do not take care of the guy deeply. allure - Being attracted to someone because of their actual visual attraction or personality. this isn't a sexual aspect. in many circumstances attracted to someone's' moves. you do not ought to carry close someone to be attracted to them. Love - a gratifying source of persevering with, relentless, enduring treatment. each little thing you necessary before you even realized you necessary it. you recognize each little thing about them, yet nonetheless can no longer help yet love them. it truly is imperfections are what make it so solid and alluring. genuine love in no way ends and continues to be like a footprint on your existence. So acceptable you've gotten in no way even imagined it in case you tried. superior than any form of lust or allure. it truly is one in each of those thoughts you won't be able to extremely think about till you adventure it.

Attraction is noticing someone - it is instant
Lust is wanting someone - it is immediate
Love is knowing and appreciating someone - it takes time
