difference.
I have a couple questions but they pretty much are the same subject.
What is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone.?
Im 17 female and i work with this guy around the age 24. Well im crazy about him. Many people say that if this guy can brighten your day, make you smile when you see him, hes all you think about. You pretty much love him. Is it true? This guy doesnt know i am crazy about him. When i work with him i get really happy, i cant stop smiling when im around him, And like just knowing he is in the store with me i feel save. If that makes any sense.
I have been in love one time before i met him. When i was with this other guy i felt like i could never love anyone else.
The guy i work with i want to be with him because im crazya bout him but at the same time i feel like these feelings i have shouldnt be there and they arnt right to have because he is so much older then me. But seriously when i have a thing for a guy i cant just stop it doesnt happen like that.
Sorry its soo long But i really would appreciate alot of help.

The difference between loving someone and being in love? It's pretty much up to individual definition. One possible definition would be the difference between loving a member of your family or a close friend, and loving someone in a romantic way.
Genuinely loving someone means much more than just feeling happy around them - what you've described definitely sounds as if you are attracted to this guy and like him a lot, but it's not love. After all, love isn't just the shiny and happy moments - it's sticking by someone through all the tough spots, as well.
If you don't know this person extraordinarily well, it would also be hard to genuinely love him. Of course, you can remedy that - but you're right to wonder about the age difference.
While seven years might not be a huge difference if people are both at the same stage of life, the two of you are actually in different places. Presumably you're still in high school, while he's finished that, possibly finished college, and started working. This can have a big affect on a relationship, and it's worth having a serious think about whether you want to merely enjoy this crush or act on it.
Best of luck to you!

hey! well i think that the feelings you are describing for this guy show that you really like him, and maybe even love him. but i deffinitely don't think you are in love with him. usually when you love someone, being around them makes you happy and you enjoy their company a lot. you love your friends and your family for those reasons. being in love is a lot more complex and difficult to explain. we learned in class that when one person is in love with another, they want to completely possess that person and be possessed by that person. this might not make much sense, but it basically means that you are willing to do anything for this person, even give up your life for them. their well being is more important to you than your own, because just seeing that person happy is enough to make you happy. you would do anything you can to keep this person around for the rest of your life, because you can't even imagine living without them by your side. basically, being in love takes everything to the extremes... this is why it is hard to fall in love. it takes time and you truly have to find the right person before it can happen to you!!
as far as this guy goes, yeah he is a bit older, but if you think it can work out then go for it. you have a crush on him so it's normal to think about him all the time and have the thought of him put a smile on your face. talk to him and see where things go, and if they don't work out then you might be hurt for a little while, but you will get over it and move on!! :) good luck, hope that helped!!
