Well,I had a couple of boyfriends whom i really enjoyed being with,except for the sex-boring and thus the relationship turned to intelectual friendship.I guess in those cases I couldn't have been in love without being in lust.
I had another relationship in which the sexual attraction was very high,but I couldn't keep the things only in that department and I fell in love.After we broke up,I was thinking sometimes about him,but mostly about our sexual incounters-so I guess that means it wasn't love after all-only lust,but I had to separate from him to realize that.

I think it comes down to this, Lust is what attracts you to someone intitally; love is what keeps you there. Love is unselfish, warm, caring, and understanding. Love makes you consider the other persons feelings before your own. That is sometimes hard to do, especially in a new relationship when you want to be constantly reassured. Sex is the icing on the cake. If you have all the ingredients for the rest of it, then you should have it made. It takes patience to put it all together and it's alot of work, but it is worth it. Go out and see what else is in the world and then maybe you can appreciate what you have.

Lust/Love....I think we have too many words for the same thing. This is what makes life so confusing for humans. Love is Love is Love. It is everything and it is nothing. It is All. So many words in the dictionary and now we are concerned with what word means what. Each word will mean something different to each person. Love is different to each person, hate is different to each person.

I know this is a great question but I also feel that we take up so much energy pondering things that don't need to be pondered over.

Life=Love.....love your life and all will be fine. You will experience many feelings, thoughts. Instead of trying to label them, enjoy them for what they are in the moment. Just "be".

I suppose we have been conditioned/domesticated to focus on the importance of words instead of our feelings.

I hope I am not opening a can of worms here...earthworms/nightcrawlers——
