What would everyone say is the difference between the too?
What makes you 'know' your in love? Does everyone get a 'feeling' when you are in love?
I'd love to know everyones different experiences, feelings or opinions. Thank you

I think being in love is fun and exciting but it's overrated and that feeling comes and goes.

Loving someone
And
Being loved in return
Is where it's at.

Just love is enough.

I "fell in love" with my DH within a few months. I remained "in love" with him till after we married (about 18 months after meeting, we lived together for about 10 months before the wedding.) Various things have happened since, some of which have increased my respect for him, others which have disappointed me. I am sure he could say the same about me. I still love the old bastard 35 years on, and he me, but no, I'm not in love and neither is he.

We see each other clearly. We still love each other. That works for me.
