Answer 13

you can love many things and many people...you are in love with only one....and the one person you are "in" love with makes your world go round.  you think about the person all the time and just want the time away to speed up so you can be with them.  now if that person is "in" love with you back is the only question...cause that would be a bummer.

Answer 14

you love something

your in love with someone

Answer 15

In love is the initial stage where you idealize it. If you make it to the real thing love, you still love them even though you see they aren't really perfect.

Answer 16

when you love someone, you sincerely want the best for them (ex. family and friends).

being in love is the same thing, except you are also sexually attracted to them, you are infatuated with them, and you lust for them (ex. boyfriend/girlfriend).

Usually the "in love" part fades after several years of marriage, but you still love that person.  

Answer 17

You can love a particular item, but if you're in love that means you have a deeper feeling.

When you are in love with someone, your love for them grows each day. you cant imagine a life without them. Every day you feel your heart has reached its largest point, it cannot hold anymore love in, and the next day it grows yet again for this person. They become as much a part of you as you are, you are IN LOVE with them.

Simply loving someone is different, this is the kind of love you can have for your cousin, or brother, or a good friend, while they are in your heart, and you will protect them, and they do mean a lot to you, you still feel that if they were not there your life would not fall apart, it would be worse, but not agonizingly paining and sad. This is when you LOVE them.
