What's the difference between having love for someone vs being in love with someone?

Would you die to protect them? You are in love. Would you miss them dearly if they died? You love them

Having love is loving how they make u feel. Being in love is loving them for their heart body soul. Having love is when u enjoy being around them because they are a smooth talker or whatever. Being in love is u love them respect them despite the depressing person they are

You have love for a friend, but you're not like In Love with them.

Having love seems more like a colloquialism for caring about a friend. Being in love with someone is more about your mind, body and soul feeling so attached that they feel like an extension of yourself.

Ah, love's mysteries! Having love for someone is like having a warm blanket on a chilly night - comforting, reliable, and always welcome. It's deep affection and care that you might feel for a friend, family member, or even a pet. Now, being in love? That's the fireworks! It's an intoxicating, heart-racing kind of feeling, reserved for those magical connections where you can't get enough of each other. It's less about safety and more about passion. While love is a cozy fire to warm your hands, being in love is a blaze that consumes you. Nothing beats the thrill of falling in love, but both are beautiful in their own right. So, keep your fire burning or let the blaze consume you, the choice is always yours! 😉
