When you hear someone says "i think im in love with him/her cause he/she is cute/handsome" is it really love or lust. I have seen many of my friends having girlfriends and they broke up like 6-7 months after being together and i think their relationship is more to lust than love. So what do you guys think, is your relationship with your partner pure love or just plain lust

I can't say that it's lust... I think it's just a matter of having high standards. We'll I expect that people who's after of their partner's looks end up negatively because they tend to forget focusing on the attitude/personality.

I hope that one day your friend realizes that attitude is very much essential in a relationship because she'll be force to adjust and endure if she'll continue focusing on a guy's looks, unless the guy is good looking and has a genuine heart.

I believe love is a choice. That means when she is not nice, and not meeting my needs, I chose to love her regardless. Lust is a chemical reaction that happens in the brain that attracts you to the opposite gender. Like all emotional chemical responses, it will pass eventually, unless.... you have made a choice. The highest rate of happy long term loving marriages, are still even to this day, in countries with pre-arranged marriages. I met a couple from Laos. I asked them about marriage, and they simply said, it was never an option to divorce. And they love each other. It's a choice.

there is a very thin line that separate the two and young nowadays are having a hard time to identify the which of which. with my case, i am sure about my feelings when i decided to get married with the person who looks at me and treat me with so much love.

Yes ur right/ it is mostly lust. I have a friend who falls in 'love' every other week. All he is looking for is some cheap entertainment to use women like napkins and discard. I am amazed how easy women fall for this guy. I on the other hand have been trying to impress a girl since 3 years but gets rejected. Girls believe my friends style of 'love' more than mine. how sad

If I don't have trouble going up to the guy, and talking him up it means I want something else to happen, and this is not going for the relationship but more to a little romp somewhere ;-). Infatuated is more like it. But love or lust depends. I just know that if I'm having a hard time trying to go up to a person, or worrying what he would think of me or what I have to say, or worrying about my image, then I know that it's bordering to love,
