What is your opinion about this statement regarding LOVE

there is a difference between loving someone and being in love, loving someone stays and its what you feel after being with someone for a time, you feel it even when they hurt you or your angry with them.
being in love comes and goes and its what you first feel for someone, being in love is how that person makes you feel, in love is that happy feeling when they say i love you, when they buy you flowers when your happy together and getting on well thats why you can still love someone but not be in love with someone cos YOU love them but THEY dont make you feel in love with them anymore.
loving someone is how you feel about them and they dont have to do anything for you to feel that for them, and being in love is how they make you feel and they have to do something for you to feel that for them so if they stop being loving or romantic or your not getting on you wont feel that anymore untill they then do do something.
being in love is how THEY make you feel and loving someone is how YOU feel.
loving someone is not a choice but being in love is as you can choose to open up and feel it or close your self off if they have hurt you to much that feeling will never come back.

I agree. You can want to stop loving someone & find it very hard. Or you can try to make yourself love someone & find that impossible. Love is a feeling.

I think as far as the broken heart goes, your feeling rejected and that hurts! It never feels good to feel rejected ot betrayed by some one you thought you could trust...

And if you loved some one for along time but now you think they are an a** how did you fall out of love? Or did you just get used to them not being in your life any more, or get angry because they hurt you some how?

I think love is a feeling... but I think sometimes we hang onto what we think is love because it is what we are used to or want to believe...

I have loved someone I didn't want to... just because they have broken your heart. You have been able to completely turn off all feelings for that person? I couldn't. It took me quite some time to get over the feeling
