It is very important to understand and know the difference between ʟᴏᴠᴇ and ʟᴜsᴛ. What you think is ʟᴏᴠᴇ may be ʟᴜsᴛ and what you think is ʟᴜsᴛ might be ʟᴏᴠᴇ. If you want to know if it is ʟᴏᴠᴇ or ʟᴜsᴛ that your partner feels for you, then these tips will definitely help you identify the difference between ʟᴏᴠᴇ and ʟᴜsᴛ. Also if you are the one who has fallen in love after just a five minute meeting with someone, then you definitely need to give this a read. Let’s see whether it is ʟᴏᴠᴇ or ʟᴜsᴛ.
1. When it’s not just about ‘ѕєχ’ anymore!
ѕєχ is important in a healthy relationship, but if it’s only and only about ѕєχ, you really need to think if it’s actually ʟᴏᴠᴇ. ʟᴏᴠᴇ is more about trust, commitment and communication, but if all you think of ‘Why aren’t we having ѕєχ right now?’ then you need to take a step back and commit only when it’s ʟᴏᴠᴇ because it may be ʟᴜsᴛ for you but someone might be falling truly in love with you, so why to hurt others if you’re still unsure of your own feeling?
2. ʟᴜsᴛ, however is selfish
ʟᴜsᴛ on the other side is downright selfish. It is a craving for the other person’s body that feels the need to be satiated at any cost. You don’t care about the other person’s growth or development. You are just obsessed to his/her body. If it is lust, you will think about the person all the time, but the only reason why you think about them so much is because of all the things they do to keep you happy.
3. Love is a lot of cuddling and ʟᴜsᴛ is not
ѕєχ exists in both love and ʟᴜsᴛ. But there is a difference and the difference is that when in love, ѕєχ is followed by sweet talks, cuddling and romantic gestures. However when it is ʟᴜsᴛ, there is no cuddling at all. Both the parties have ѕєχ and just move on.
4. Lust fades, ʟᴏᴠᴇ stays!
Always remember if it’s only and only ʟᴜsᴛ, you will be bored of other person soon. Sometimes it’s not just about physical intimacy but emotional intimacy, and if your relationship has more deep emotional talks than ѕєχ, feel lucky to be in TRUE LOVE!
5. When it’s only about the inner beauty that counts!
Sometimes you like someone because you feel that person looks great or hot, but remember if it’s only the outer body that matters to you, with time you will realize you never really loved that person but their body. This quote truly stands true here,”It’s easy to take off your clothes and have ѕєχ, people do it all the time but opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirits, thoughts, future, fears, hope and dreams…that’s being ɴᴀᴋᴇᴅ!”. Love someone who they are inside because that’s what they really are. And if you already do that, hey congratulations it’s true love!
6. When you focus on real aspects of relationship and not just fantasies!
LOVE isn’t a very smooth journey, every relationship goes through some tough timings and how you come out of it truly makes your bond an everlasting one. If it’s true love you would be more concerned about how to make your relationship work and not just about some stupid fantasies you’re creating in your mind. Talk it out, express and understand each other and trust me it works if you really understand how important you both are to each other.
7. When you feel for someone without any conditions!
Always remember LOVE is unconditional, while ʟᴜsᴛ isn’t. Someone has rightly said ‘Real LOVE begins where nothing is expected in return’..When it’s ʟᴜsᴛ all you are concerned about is yourself, you put yourself first without even thinking about your partner. But when it’s love all it matters to you is your partner’s happiness and comfort. If it’s just ʟᴜsᴛ, you might sleep with someone else without feeling guilty but when it’s LOVE you can’t even think of doing that to someone you love.
To be honest, it’s not really difficult to know if it’s love or not.
And always remember love is one of the most amazing feeling in the world, if you are unsure of yours don’t screw it up for other who truly believe in love.
