sully737 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Its hard to articulate complex emotions. This is how I break em down... Lust is obviously of a more primal, sexual nature, which can often lead to like. Like is a precursor to Love, a "test run" Love is a sense of happiness, security, and bliss. Its different at the beginning than it is in the long term, but its astonishing the whole time. How do you differentiate between the three?

This is wrong. You can be 'in lust' with someone you don't like and will never love.
Billy_Boy Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 People should use the word lust more readily... lol like girls or guys will say "Oh I like her" even though they don't know him or her at all... what they mean to say is, I find that person physically alluring and I would like to splice sex organs with them. Just say "Oh I lust her so bad" wouldn't that clean up so many misconceptions if that got tossed into the lexicon and applied? Because it would refine the meaning of the word "like" to be more about knowing someone, then merely seeing their physical sense.

When it comes to liking someone - and developing love for them - it has little to do with getting to know them as such consciously. It takes about a couple of years to truly get to know someone while you can get some form of emotional attachment (beyond lust) within days. I didn't believe this until it happened to me at the ripe old age of 36. I started liking someone within days of meeting him and the feeling is still there two years later. It actually developed into love and a strong bond but it appeared very quickly.

Well then call me what you want to call me... But I have ABSOLUTELY lusted after people that I dont necessarily "like" Meaning, they may be an asshat... but they also happen to be hot as s**t and I want them.
