Answer 7

Everyone has different opinions on this one...

I believe that lust is when you see someone and they are physically attractive and you"want" them. With lust you feel sexually attracted to someone, which can very easily can be mistaken for love. You can be in lust and not know it until they break up with you or something and then find real love.

Love is when you are away from someone for two minutes and you already miss them. You are loyal to them, honest and you know you don't need any other person to make you feel the way you feel when your with them. Love is feeling like you can conquer the world with that one person. I think that when you think you fell in love with someone, you will just feel like when you are in the persons arms, no harm can come to you. Because I know thats how I feel.

Answer 27

Love is with your mind, body, and soul. Lust is just with your body :)

Answer 28

Lust is the physical attraction to someone whereas Love is the mental experience that can accompany lust. In short when you see someone whom you find attractive and desire in a physical sense that is lust. But when you cannot seem to stop thinking about a certain person,not because of any particular feature,that is Love. Or at least I think so .... : )

lust is when you want someone because of what they look like on the outside and love is when you see the person for what they are on the inside and still want to be with them.
