Why, oh why? Do some people call it a crush and some call it love?
Answer:
I beleive a crush is the initial feeling of physical attraction.
Love is the emotional confirmation of it.
To my way of thinking, a crush is something that one feels immediately or soon after meeting someone. You are attracted to them physically, or mentally - and want to spend more time with them.
Love is a feeling that develops. Love is something that you can feel for someone when you know their good and bad sides. It is a feeling of enduring respect and commitment.
There's a big difference between a crush and love. Young people think they're in love when what they really have is a crush. You get a crush on someone when you really like them or become infatuated with them, but loving someone is much deeper and much more enduring. You can't really say you love someone unless you have been in a relationship with that person for a long time (at least a year) and that relationship is built on respect and trust. When you have a crush on someone, you are so head-over-heels that you think it's love and you can't imagine yourself being without that person, but when you start dating that feeling starts to wear off because you start to see that person you idolized is not the perfect person you thought they were. When you're in love you accept the other person "warts and all," meaning you realize the other person is not perfect and you still love them so much despite all the things that annoy or bother you about that person. Does that help?
A crush doesn't withstand much testing. Real deep love - that is - love for your mum or your brother or baby, (or husband), is synonymous with responsibility and concern. 'In love' IS loving, but it's more like hero-worship. It always has a lovely golden glow that doesn't last.
