The difference between like and love.

I like Gener’s height but it doesn’t mean I love him. I like James’ hair but it doesn’t mean I love him. I like Essem’s nose nut id doesn’t mean I love him. I like Aiden’s eyes but it doesn’t mean I love him. I like all of my classmates but it doesn’t mean I love them all. Girls, be careful when a guy tells you that he likes you. And also boys, please be careful when we say we like you because it’s so hard to expect love from someone who don’t love you that much.

I was once a victim of like and love case. I also had victimized someone of like and love case. Let’s talk first of the someone I had victimized…

Gener (not Gener Neil Aviso) was my classmate when I was grade 3. Someone asked me if I like him, so I said yes. Because of that, he expected that I also loved him. He told me his feelings and he was not happy when I told mine.

Let’s talk about me as a victim.

This time, it’s different. I have a crush before named Dave (not his real name). He told me that he liked me. Instead of being happy, I was sad because I know that like is very different from love. I stopped loving him because I don’t want to expect. But I was wrong. Like developed into love and I never knew that he loved me by the time when I loved him. Now, I’m trying to bring back the feeling I felt for him before. It’s doing well. I hope that when the time that I am ready to face him, he still loves me.

ometimes, you like a person and later on love him/her. There are also times that you love a person but not liking him/her? Why are these happening? It is true that when you love a person, you don’t need to like him/her first?

Maybe it’s true because I don’t like my present crush because he’s hotheaded. But why do I love him? Why do I want to see him always?

Again and again, like in dictionary means to be pleased with. Like is a sweet word to hear. You feel appreciated when someone says he/she likes you. Like is sometimes associated with love. But love is seldom associated with like.

The differences between like and love according to thesecategories:

rDictionary meaning
it’s so obvious that like means admiration while love means strong affection. And they also have different spellings, right?

rEmotional matters
like means admiring something or someone. You can always love what you like but you can only seldom like what you love.

Hey, people!! Don’t be fooled by people when they said they like you because it differs from liking and loving things. When you like this particular stuff, you also love it. But if you like a person, it doesn’t mean you love that person. See? Words really have different meanings according to where they are implied. They also differ from how you say it. Things and people are really different.

You can’t sacrifice everything for the person you like but you can really sacrifice everything for the person you love. You will not cry very hard when you loose the one you like but I’m sure that you will shed a pail of tears when you loose the one you love. You’ll not feel jealous when you see someone close to the one you like but you will feel jealous to the person close to the one you love.

Although liking and loving are different, don’t lose hope! The person likes you might love you as well in the near future. But don’t ever expect if you don’t want to suffer and to be hurt at the end. Liking and loving are also similar for they both cherish the said people. Remember, don’t be victimized when they say they like you because at the end of the day, they will surely choose the person they love.
