From the thread in the "Science and Philosophy" section: http://mingle2.com/topic/show/204186
Love -- What is the difference between love that you feel for a friend/relative and love that you feel for someone you are *in love* with? P.S. I repost this here because the way we think about love is sometimes also heavily affected by our religion. |

I agree with Jermey from the other thread. The only difference is sexual desire. Period.
Love is love. Period. Romance requires the exchange of bodily fluids. |

Some studies show that a woman in "love" is the same as if she is addicted to drugs. Now actually think about that and some of the women you have known, before writing it off.

Is that 'love' or infatuation?
