have pondered the question: what is love
and what is lust? Sometimes it can be
difficult to tell if you are in lust or love,
both are hard to define and the division
of the two can get blurry. Love is one of
life's most intense emotions, and when
you are in lust it's easy to think you are
feeling love but the two are different. If
you've been struck by Cupid's arrow,
read on to learn if what you've found is
love or lust.
Are you in lust or love?
Love commonly starts out as lust and
the two might even have an overlapping
stage at some point in the relationship —
or lust may never turn into love. Lust is
what first brings people together. It's
that initial desire to be with the person,
while love is the desire to stay with him
or her. They are both experiences felt by
a person for another person but when
you feel lust for someone, generally
you're just attracted to him or her; you
don't have that deep emotional
connection that you feel when you love a
person.
Is it physical or emotional?
There are different emotional elements
involved with love and with lust. When
you are in love, you will find yourself
connecting with the other person and
feeling an emotional engagement with
him or her. Lust sets you out looking for
romance, which helps narrow down a
potential mate from the world's dating
pool. Lust generally takes the form of a
deep physical attraction for the other
person that may never turn into a
mental connection.
Are you in it for the long term?
Lust and love are intertwined. Lust is
what brings you in and love is what
keeps you there. When you are in love
with someone, you see a future with the
other person and your partner is
included in your life plans. Lust is
usually for the short term and love is for
the long term. Lust is a romantic
infatuation, while love keeps people
together long after the infatuation has
faded.
What are you hoping to find?
Love is an extraordinary experience. If
you're truly hoping to find love,
remember that love has to be nurtured.
Lust is an emotion you can rely on
coming on strong and right away,
whereas, love and romance are
connected to trust, loyalty and an
emotional attachment.
If you're hoping to transform your
relationship from lust to love, the most
straightforward thing to do is to pay
attention to your partner's needs and be
responsive to supporting them. If you
think you've found love, don't be afraid
to be vulnerable. Let your partner know
how you're feeling. You have to be
willing to trust your partner, which will
promote the relationship and keep it
going long after that first linger of lust
has disappeared.
