yes and in family relationships that can be fine - you can love your child but don't like them. However, in a mating relationship, i.e. boyfriend/girlfriend, while love is a primary factor in attraction, the staying power is caused by being friends with each other and liking each other. Ask any married couple who have been together for a long time - they are, primarily, best friends and the initial surge of overwhelming love is long past; however, their love has 'mellowed' and is still there, but the friendship is more important.
So the single biggest thing in looking for a potential life mate is not whether you love them but whether you like them. If you like them, then you have the seed-bed for love to grow. If you don't like them, then the love you have now will soon disappear.

My brother is often a pain in the ***. My mother said for years that she loves him but doesn't like him very much.
Ironically, she's now an alcoholic, so I love her but dont like her.
My wife sometimes says (if I've been winding her up) the same thing to me (that's only temporary though!!)

Yes Love is love but you can still dislike someone.

Liking you can predermine. Loving you can't.
It MUST happen from time to time.
BUT itis great when both happen at once.

never, i'm very frugal with my feelings and don't give them unless i mean them 100 precent. to love is to love entirely regardless if they annoy you.
