Loving vs.Being In Love:

There is definitely an empty place in the heart when still experiencing the deep sense of lonliness that comes following the breakup of a previous relationship. Having gotten very used to having someone to say "I love you" to on a regular basis, the reality of not having anyone in your life can be extremely disconcerting.

The tendency here is to give in to the seeming "need" to fill the gap with someone you can love. In fact, lonely people do love those whom they decide to use to fill this need. Their lonliness is so deep that they find it impossible to distinguish their self-motivated desire for personal fulfillment from true love that desires to fill the needs of the other person.

By contrast, being "in love" with another person while also loving them describes the approach that those who have worked through their lonliness are able to experience. Instead of using someone to fulfill a personal need, the more balanced approach of being "in love" carries with it the idea of being strong enough again to reciprocate the needs of the other person.

Distinguishing the difference between these two kinds of love may very well determine whether or not your next exclusive relationship succeeds or fails.
