Search Results: love or lust

I think I'm in love with my guy friend. It have been 3 years, he got married & I'm in a relationship, and now he is about to have a child. Rewinding to the very beginning.. His aunt & my aunt are bestfriends. I think he had a crush on my aunt but she posted me on social media and instantly fell in love with me. We're both young (10-12). He had a crush on me for year and didn't tell me until I graduated from high school [17]. I instantly gained a crush on him but he was two years younger than me and we've never met. We became friends, and when he graduated I want to start but he made it seem like i never told him and I'm too late. I tried everything but he ended up telling his parents that I'm crazy but went back and told them he loved me. He ended up meeting someone else and we currently not friends anymore. To this day we never actually met. I blocked him and I am happy with my life but ever blue moon I think of him. When he first broke my heart I thought it must was lust but now it's been three years and I still play old memories in my head. I dont do it often but I do think of him. I think I love him but it might be lust. I never looked at him sexual and my aunt knows him and vice versa but we never met in person.

Platonic love and that's it. I couldn't desire a fat man. I think I wouldn't desire a fat woman if I were a man.

Every positive emotion stems from giving and flows outward from us to others., whereas every negative emotion revolves around taking. Lust is the opposite of love. When we lust after someone or something, our interest is purely selfish in our desire to feel complete. When we love, however, our focus is on how we can express our love and give to the other person. It makes us feel good to give, and we so happily. When someone we love is in pain, we feel pain. When someone after whom we lust is in pain, however, we think only about how this person’s situation will affect us, in terms of our own inconvenience or discomfort.
