Besides identifiable sexual attraction, how can one tell the difference between a crush and great love for a friend? If a friend really wants physical contact with another friend, but not necessarily sex, what is that?
Please answer. I really will rate.

no one can tell you whether or not you are in love, you just know. and physical contact but not sex? thats rather odd i dont know.

My belief is that "great loves" are not born, they are bred. What do I mean by that? Well, in the beginning of any relationship that turns out to be great love, is an initial crush. Some crushes fade into nothingness and some crushes turn into relationships that eventually turn into "great loves". If you are finding yourself physically attracted to a close friend (who, as a friend, you are obviously already emotionally attracted to)then your feelings have probably developed beyond just friendship. The biggest pitfall in this situation is usually reciprocation. My suggestion is to find out if the feelings are mutual. If they are, proceed slowly and cautiously. If your situation turns out not to be "great love" material, you will still want to preserve the friendship. True friends are a rare commodity. Best of luck to you.
Kind wishes,

well a crush doesnt last too long... & when u have a crush u look at other people and start likin them too... but when u really care about sum1... thats the only person u can look @ that way... & you'd never do anything to hurt that person... to hurt that person would be like hurting urself... u can want physical contact with both a crush & a great love... try to figure out what it is based on what i told u

A crush is when you get all fluttery when your around the guy. You get shy, embarassed and giddy. A crush you usually get over in a month or 2.
Love is completely different. Great love you will never get over. When your in love you want to be with the person all the time and you think about them all the time. Love makes you feel completely sick every time you think about or see the person. Love really is the worst feeling ever. Haha. Trust me if your in love you'll know it!
Hope I helped :)

with a great love or friend, you tend to think about them, ALOT. but when you think about them, ur not thinking "i wanna bang them" , ur thinking about the way their eyes glisten, or the way their voice sounds. when its more than just sexual attraction, you can tell. thinngs will just be.. deeper. i hope i helped

I think, contrary to apparent popular belief, if you just want to be close without sex it isn't lust. I think it's intimate love, sometimes hard to find. An intimate love is basically the type of love you feel for someone without the extremely strong feelings you'd have with someone you're dating. It's someone you can talk to about anything, and be absolutely comfortable with.
A crush, to me, is basically lust. It's just overwhelming feelings you feel for someone, most of the time the feelings are sudden and you hardly know the person. It hardly goes past physical attraction. Maybe the difference between a crush and a love for a friend is how well you know the person.

Love isn't just about sex. If you really want to kiss someone or hold their hand, then you might be in love with them. A way to tell if you love a friend or just really like them is this: Think about going to the movies with this friend (alone, on a date) and holding hands. If it's awkward to think about, then you just like him a lot. If it seems like that's something you want, then you love him.

maybe whomever you are talking about does have great love for you, but doesnt want to go as far as sex until marriage. i do also agree that if you really loved someone it wouldnt matter how much you were messing around w/ them, but that only occurs to some people which is fine. others like to save it until marriage. he probably wants to get close to you, mess around w/ you, but just not go to sex. hope i could help!
