Can you love a person without liking him? I'm sure you can like a person without loving him. However, shouldn't we like the person we love? I have observed that there are some people who don't like the person they love. No matter how hard they try to avoid loving him/her because they don't like him/her, they couldn't control their feelings.
Love seems to go beyond any emotion. Love reigns supreme. If you're in that dilemma, what would you choose? Leaving the person you love because you don't like him/her, or staying no matter what because you love him?
For me, I'll stay because I believe love conquers all.

Like is a whole lot more honest. Love is ruled by hormones and hormones change over time.

It depends on what you can endure when you love that person.

That is a complicated post. There's no way you can love some one with out liking them first, specially if it's a another person. Family is an exception though unless the family member is truly evil, there's no way you can like some one like that.

I believe their is no perfection in an individual so love can change the other feelings

In my opinion liking is possible to every one but coming love it is feel, so get only one person.

I would say that like is of the mind, and love is of the heart.
When you like someone, you like because of what your mind likes about them, but when you love someone, you feel for them, because of how your heart feels for them.
The two are as far apart, as your mind, and your heart, are apart.

@Jenaisle Thanks. That's the beauty of this site.
We can all add our own insights too, and help others in understanding things too.

I think you can love someone and not like them if they consistently do things to hurt you. I think it's harder to stop liking someone you love. It would depend why i dont like them if i stick around or not because love doesn't just stop but just because you loe someone doesn't mean you stay with them or around them if theyre hurting you
