Love?

Can someone tell me how to differentiate love and like?
How can one be sure that it is THAT person and not the others?
I used to think i know but i actually don't.

different ppl hav different definitions of love and like... simple example like a guy and girl watchin a movie doesn mean one has special interest in another...could be best friends, guy treatin girl as sister, or the guy ran out out of ppl to watch the movie with! :p
i really dono who THAT person is...but i guess no one realy knows...

Ya..its true.But then there is a GENERAL definition right?
In movies,it is always so easy to know which actor should go with which actress but in real life,IF ONLY it is that easy too.

general definition?...think there is too much grey areas in love and like...there is oni 1 person who knows if its love or like...thats the person expressing it...someone could say i love u, but don mean it at all...someone could do alot of things for another, doesn mean that someone loves the other... and i guess feelings don't last forever...some say they can be built over time...but i guess not all the time...when u jus don love someone, u jus don love him/her...haha :)

Saw this on fb, thought you will want to know:

避雨的愛情

好的愛情和壞的愛情是很容易分辨出來的。
好的愛情使你的世界變得寬闊,如同在一片一望無際的草原上 漫步。壞的愛情使你的世界愈來愈狹窄,最后只剩下屋檐下一片 可以避雨的方寸地。
好的愛情是你透過一個人看到世界,壞的愛情是你為了一個人 舍棄世界。
好的愛情,最狹窄的時刻也不過是在床上的時候,是最擠逼的 了。壞的愛情,最寬闊的時候也只是在床上的時候,那已經 是最大的空間,人于是變的愈來愈狹益,愛的死去活來,也無非 是井底之蛙。
好的愛情,能夠讓本來沒有理想沒有大志的你,變得有理想和 大志,本來偏激的你變得包容,本來驕傲的你變得謙虛,本 來自私的你肯為人設想,本來沒有安全感的你,變得不再懼 怕。壞的愛情與這一切全然相反,你唯一可見的將來就是愛情, 沒有別的可言。
好的愛情讓你時刻反省自己付出的夠不夠多,是你不害怕老去, 因為即使年華老去,你也不會失去對方。你不會擔心十年 后,你們的步伐不一致,因為你們攜手漫步在草原上,而不是在 屋檐下避雨,當雨停了,也就沒必要相依下去。

Loosely translated by me:

Love by sheltering from rain

A love whether rotten or fair is easy enough to be differentiated.

A fair love makes ur world become wide, just like walking on a endless grassy plains. Lousy love makes ur world more narrow, alas leaving only a square foot of ground under the roof to take shelter from the rain.

A fair love allows you to see the world thru a person, rotten love makes you leave the world for a person.

A fair love, the period when it’s the narrowest is while lying on the bed, that’s when it’s the most cramped. Rotten love, the period when it’s the widest is when lying on the bad, that’s when it’s the most spacious.

A fair love will transform you from being without aspirations to dream big and have great ambitions, the formerly impatient you becoming tolerant, the formerly selfish you becoming selfless, the formerly insecure you becoming unafraid. Rotten love is everything opposite, only thing that you can see is love, nothing else.

Fair love makes you reflect if you have done enough, you won’t be afraid to grow old, because if you do, you won’t lose the other, you won’t have to worry ten years later, ur footsteps are different, because you all will hold hands and walk on the grassy plains, and not be taking shelter from the rain under the roof, cos when the rain stops, there is no more need to depend on each other.

J & p's progress ain't that bad, though there's certainly room for improvement, but it takes two..
