I found this very interesting. You should check it out:

Anyways, here are MY words on it:
Lust is just mere infatuation. It's the REAL feeling you get when you THINK it's "love" at first sight. It's the right-away feeling you get when you know someone for a short amount of time.
Love is more mature than lust.
Love develops over time when you really know who that person is, you love them even while knowing their flaws, you are very comfortable with them, you see a future with them, you share the same interests, goals, etc. You love them for who they are.
Here are some quotes that can help explain LOVE:
Love is not when you know you can live with somebody.
Love is when you know you can’t live without them...
Love is giving someone the ability to tear your heart apart but trusting them not to.
"Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust. Love still stands when all else has fallen."
-1 Corinthians 13: 7-8
You know you're in love when reality is better than any dream.
And love is when you can say this:
"I asked for light, God gave me the sun.
I asked for water, God gave me rain.
I asked for happiness, God gave me you."

Lust is where you want someone in the physical sense, like for sexual reasons and for their body. Love is where you are not limited to their appearance and can see their personality. Love deals with the heart. Lust deals with....other parts. :-)

Lust is when you're physically attracted to someone but don't necessarily have feelings for them. Love is more about feelings.

Love is where you feel deeply and passionately for someone. Lust is where there is a physical attraction, but it is based solely on a drive to have sex.

love is a deep feeling of connection and compatability. it deals with the emotions and souls
where as lust is liking someone for their physical features and only the tangible feelings

if you can imagine being with someone and not being able to have sex with them, that's true love in my opinion. i think lust is just there to keep our species alive.

when all you want to do with that person is physical, not emotional. and when you break up with them, you could care less of what they do next.
when you think of it as a one time thing, not a long term, serious relationship.

Make two lists. On one, write down everything you like about him. On the other, write down everything you dislike about him. Now, decide for yourself.
