Love or Like?

It is hard to define love because it may come in so many different ways that it becomes almost impossible to predict. You cannot force yourself to be in love and you cannot force love to come to you.

Forget love at first sight, you will often need the rare chemistry to have something as wonderful yet too good too be true event to happen to you. Well, if so happen you have experienced something like “a love at first sight: the Cinderella story”, then maybe, you are among those born under the lucky star of love. Not everyone is lucky when it comes to a commencement of a love story. To be truly in love with someone, probably you should learn a little bit on how love should feel like, or at least how a reaction of love should be.

These are the two “L” words that had left many people in the state of confusion and indecisiveness. There is so many ways of falling in love and whichever “L” word comes first was not as important as one thought it would be. However, you should remember, it is the consequent reaction that matters most, and this is the part that you should emphasize more if you are thinking of creating a happily ever after.

How do you say that you love someone? Was it love or a mere likeness? Maybe the statements below can somehow guide you for the right answer.
