How to Know the Difference Between Love, Infatuation and Lust

oo nga naman, how would you know if your relationship involves
Love.... or Infatiation lang yan... or Lust...?

i was reading this question few times over and over again! i could not get the right answer for it! i want to share sometin for the readers! but first do you remember your high school days? JS prom? remember your first dance? first kissed? you prepared for someone special... the girl/boy you want most, but you have no chance for him/her, coz he/she was with someone else!? now as you grow older and reach for you goal! and met a lots of people! and made love to them... and i belive you forgot your past! i believe during those days your love was true... but no one is taking it seriously and you were taken for granted!

now! as you grow older! your experience with love decreases! as if there is a kind of a great barrier bet you and your partner. and the lust remains! but! this lust is the beginning of a true love...

i thought that love and infatuation is very similar. both of it is just a feeling that you have and can't really explain. i think that love does have to be shared for it to be completely called love but infatuation may be just like one way. if you feel either way i don't think it really matters what the meanings of those two words are as long as you can interpret what you feelings are telling you.

Lust i don't know how to answer this i'm sorry para na ito sa mga expert....:p

Hi JLO,

Ito 'yong take ko..para sa akin, para ding pagkain, yong una, naamoy mo, ang bango, bango, ang sarap ng lasa, kina-in mo, napadami, tapos na.It passes with time.

Lust, nasa grocery store ka , may mga pagkain for tasting, segi ka lang ng tikim, pero hindi completely satisfied. Love, 'yon bang umuwi ka sa bahay para kumain, gusto mo yong ulam, tama ang panlasa at sa pagkain mo nabusog ka.
Sabi nga, lust is like an apetizer. it doesn't matter where it is coming from as long as you go home to eat, that is love.

[brownman]

let's start with the easy one, lust. for me it's something physical and sexual.

infatuation-something you felt when you had your first crush when you were in High School/GS. for me you can only tell if it's infatuation after it's over. if you're infatuated, you feel like you're in love but after meeting someone else or after seeing something you do don't like aboout that person you realize that you were just infatuated.

on the other hand, love is something that you cannot explain. it can or cannot be something physical or sexual. it's something that would stand the test of time.

just my .02 worth:)

Infatuation- pag nakita mo sya sa harap mo at napangiti ka marahil sa pogi nyang smile o maputi nyang kutis...
Lust-Pag nakita mo sya sa harap mo at napangiti ka sa mganda nyang labi at macho nyang pangangatawan sabay makaramdam ka ng parang lagnat sa kakaisip nito:p
Love-pag nakita mo sya sa harap mo at napangiti ka sabay kabog ng dibdib at matuliro ka at hindi mo na alam kung ano ang susunod mong gagawin o sabibihin.:)

[mahalkita]

Lust - makasarili, kasi you do it para mapunan ang hilig ng katawan mo

Love - unselfish, kasi its something you give or show to your partner

Infatuation - plain attraction, nothing else. Pag may nakita kang mas higit, mawawala din.

[ayanis-marie]

:eek: Lust-yong kanta na LUST in Your Eyes...(lost yon ah)

Infatuation-The time na may mga baby FATS pa ako.(ngayon lola fats na 'to)

Love-At this point na may loving husband na 'ko.

[greatbarrier]

INFATUATION - emanates from physical attraction, may or may not transcend to love depending on the intensity of the feelings that each feels for one another as they get to know each other

LUST - physical desire....generally rooted from the subject's physical attributes, more specifically like nice butt & abdomen, a six-pack abs, etc. :D

LOVE - it's something indescribable! transcends beyond infatuation and lust! you feel like there is an unseen bond between you and the other person! when you get to feel that you are willing to compromise for you and the other person's shortcomings! finally, when you look at the person, you suddenly have a vision seeing him or her beside you everytime you wake up in morning for the rest of your life!

[geminigirl]

INFATUATION - could be obsession, fascination, passion, and also could be love, for a person or thing. More often mistaken for real love....for a person. Time and depth are contributory factors to turn infatuation to love....true love that is.

LUST - desire, yearn, long for, hunger for. Very clearly is associated with the physical aspect. But of course when there's love...there's lust. It goes hand-in-hand. Lust, just plain lust for sex is different though. Makes one promiscuous. And that's unhealthy!!!!:D

LOVE - feel affection for, care for, adore, worship:love:. It's an all-in-one feeling!!! It's the best feeling there is....it's something that's got you feeling a little bit overwhelmed heartwise. It's an amazing feeling that makes one moving and alive.It's something that makes you feel punch-drunk, dreamy, giggly...and crazy (when you see things nobody else can hehehe!!! like me...):D.

Is this love am feeling right now??:)

naglalakad ka sa palengke nakakita ka ng pakwan

tiningnan mo nagandahan ka kasi mukhang matamis, iyon ang infatuation
lumapit ka pinitik pitik binutas at tinikman tapos isinauli, iyon ang lust
pag binayaran mo na iyon ang love

[Dax]

"Lust" is easy to know. But sometimes people think that it is love, when actually it is only infatuation. How do we differentiate?

Love is an unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.

Kung patay na patay ka sa kanya, ang ngitin mo hanggang tenga tuwing nakikita mo siya; lagi mo siya naiisip hindi ka na makakain ng matino at di na makatulog; kahit saan ka lumingon parang pakiramdam mo makikita mo siya; and so on and so forth...infatuation pa lang yan! Why? Because it is only for your own good! Ikaw lang ang masaya tuwing nakikita mo siya, malay mo ayaw naman sayo di ba?

Pero, kung sa simula pa lang naman, pwede pang maging love ito kung halimbawa niligawan din siya ng iba. Naging mag-bf sila so out ka na dun. Nakita mong ang bait naman ng naging bf nya, respetado siya at nalaman mong lahat ng ginagawa ng bf ay para sa kanya kaya naging masaya ka na din para sa kanilang dalawa. This proves that you really love her. :)

[v_wrangler]

pag binayaran mo na iyon ang love
Hmm, sounds like prostitution?...

I think Love is when you can do without infatuation or lust and still live a happy and healthy life with your partner...

Dax, sanay na sanay ah...:)

[houseboy]

Halimbawa:

Infatuation:

Napadaan ka sa Recto, nakita mo yung poster sa harapan ng isang club, at nagandahan ka sa isa sa mga babae doon. Sinabi mo sa iyong sarili na babalikan mo ang club na yun at papasok ka para makita yung babae sa poster.;)

Lust:

Habang napapanood mo siyang nagsasayaw e hindi ka mapakali sa iyong kinauupuan. Abot tenga ang iyong ngisi at ang iyong leeg ay nauunat sa kakasunod sa bawat indak ng kanyang katawan. Nagbayad ka ng mahal para lamang siya ay makaulayaw.:D

Love:

Hinango mo siya sa putikan, ibinahay at pinakasalan.:cool:

[mOtt_erU]

:) hi

for me yung INFATUATION kase eh medyo similar sa paghangan...type mo siya kase kakoi,atamaiishi etc pero walang feelings na involve masyado, hindi ganoon kaseryoso

yun naman LUST, parang sexually attracted ka sa tao, parang may sexual fantasies ka rin ..hehe;) pero more on sa ganoong level lang..kaya lust lang

yung LOVE eh naku napaka lawak ng sakop ng kimochi nato...
lahat magagawa mo sa LOVE..., basta Love is unconditional...etc
