Annie answered Wednesday May 26 2004, 6:11 pm: This is just my experience, but I've never understood what the difference is between loving someone and being "in love" with someone. If anything being "in love" has a connotation of a love that won't last, like you love the person, but only for the moment. I think that if you can be "in love" with someone in person, you can be just as "in love" with someone online. Personally, I know and love someone online better than I do some friends that I've known for years in person, so I guess I do sort of have some actual experience in this area. I think what you really need is for someone too define what it means to love someone, so here's what dictionary.com has to say about it:
This is the definition of "in love":
1.Deeply or passionately enamored: a young couple in love.
2.Highly or immoderately fond.
This is the definition of "love":
1.A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
2.A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
I hope that helped. I think that knowing whether or not you "love" or are "in love" with this person is pretty trivial. You feel the way you feel, defining your feelings may just cause confusion. All the same, I think you should talk to this person about your feelings for them. That might be the best way for you to figure out what it is that you're feeling.
