How can we differentiate between loving someone and really liking someone?

If there is a difference.

Loving someone means that they are meeting the standards of your potential you had in your head about them meanwhile really liking someone means that you are still at a point where there’s a potential in your head that they haven’t quite met yet.

Loving someone means feeling fulfilled with that person and havng an inner excitement or joy about that person, also when you love someone you don’t notice other people as you are content with yourself and the other person;while really liking a person means that you like the idea of that person or it’s potential but like if you love someone you would spend an eternity with it but when you really like someone in comparison to that you would spend a lifetime with it!!

Don't. Why even bother? There is no meaningful distinction. These are things people obsess over because their lives are boring and they want to add more arbitrary checkmarks to the progress of their relationships.

love is even when you want to stab them in the eye you can't ever picture walking out on them

When you love someone, then you value their happiness as much or more than your own.

When you love somebody you don't think you can live without them.

@Trevelyan88 yes, that too.

Liking someone means you are attracted to them, that means they have some features (physical or behavioral) that appeals to you.

Loving someone means you like them and would also consider being in a relationship with the person.

I see loving as the next step. Loving after liking.

[LiamJHayden]

To me, liking is an emotion/feeling. Loving is a conscious choice that I make.

[PreciousJewel]

Loving is unconditional and raw, you'd do anything for them. Liking is just wanting a piece of that person.

[jahaims]

Love is not unconditional. If they cheat on you or abuse you, for example, you could reasonably and easily lose the love you had for a person.

[PreciousJewel]

I don't think you ever stop loving them even after betrayal.

[jahaims]

If a man you loved SA you then shot everyone you know in the face you'd still love them?

[PreciousJewel]

Hate and love is closer together than you think

[jahaims]

Avoiding the question?

[PreciousJewel]

Yes I'd still love them but that love is in a hateful way

[jahaims]

Lmfao

Love is reciprocal. If not you just think it's love and you creating it in your head. 🤣

Love is a deeper feeling and more of a spiritual connection.
