On the most basic level, its a lack of sexual desire and a lack of wanting for intimacy.

Loving someone in the most generic sense would be caring for their wellbeing, wishing them happiness, concern for their troubles, and a desire to stay in contact. Close friendship and family ties.

Being "In Love" means that you want a sexual and intimate relationship with them. Maybe you want kids, a family, that sort of thing, you want to live together and share lives.

I think, also, being in love also implies a certain amount of possession. You want someone to belong to you, and you want to belong to them. This is kind of a vauge desire, its kind of like you want to be someone's first priority, and you want their first priority to be you.

When you aren't in love with someone but you are in a relationship with them, they aren't always your first priority, and that affects alot of things in how you deal with them.

Long explanation, but thats a gist of the basics I think.

When you love someone, its like you really care about them and you would be really hurt if something ever happened to them. You love them as like a part of your family, or a close friend that you have had all your life.
Being in love with someone is when you can barely live a day without them and you would do anything for them. More of like a romantic relationship.

Well the difference is they care for them dearly but they do not have that special connection with them anymore. They do not feel that they are made for each other and they dont do all the romantic things they did at the start of the relationship.

Thankyou-x
