I never really got this at all. When you love someone I thought it was just that. Isn't that real love? How do you have fake love(lol). I just don't understand how people can say they love a person then they say it's love and not real love. This is so confusing to me and to others. I believe if you really have emotional feelings for someone than there is no way it can't be real love. Where do we get off showing false love to someone and speak the words I love you right out of our mouths. To me its just crazy. Please help me to understand what this nonsense is about.lol Thank You

Well there is love where God says that you should love your neighbour as your friend. This love is different to me than when you are deeply in love with someone. When you are in deep love your whole being is for that person. This is my understanding. You will love your friends and family and you does not want anything happen to these persons that you love but when you are in love you are more protective of this person.

Either way it goes if you love God and you are keeping his commandments thats Real love you are showing him for keeping them. If you are in love with someone its still Real love because you know you care for that person and their wellbeing. Its still all Real.

I think the problem here is how lightly people throw around the word love. Sure you can love your dog, sister, cousin, best friend, or even ice cream and each of those feelings come with their own amount of emotions. When it comes to relationships feelings tend to deepen over time and each new relationship new levels are reached making the previous situations seem like childish crushes. The more intense the new love feels the more insignificant the previous ones can seem especially if comparing relationships in mature years to ones during our youth.
