what is your definition of a strong crush, and how is it differnt from love
well, I think there are many different definitions for these matters, love is different for everyone. I will try to answer your question in the way i think of this.
Having a crush on someone, is what you can get on that guy that you think is oh soooooooo cute, and who you ask a simple question to or sit at the same table at lunch with (when you're brave enough...). you might not know him very well yet though. its a sort of 'mild obsession' about a person you might say. you like what you see, and you want to see more. many serious relationships have started out this way, but not all. if you have a crush on someone, you should get to know that person better.
so you get to know this person very well. and by that i mean what he (or she for that matter, im certainly not being prejudiced here...)is really like on the inside. you might have shared a lot of experiences, spent a lot of time together and you share a special bond. take this, and add a million other things like, chemistry, tears, laughter etc and you have love. its a deep thing, but oh so wonderful.... Liking someone usually involves liking their personality and who they are as a person and is deeper than a crush. Loving someone is even more than that. It's hard to explain what love is because different people consider it differently.
a crush is like an infatuation tho, it only last for a small period of time, when it comes to liking someone, you can like a lot of people, it is almost used as a general term, as for example i like your sister or brother, it can be used in just a general way, and being in love is when you know for a fact that the person you have feelings for is the one that you want to spend your entire life with, love is basically an extremely strong feeling that you feel towards another person, that basically leads to a deep affection, desire and devotion towards that person that makes your heart go crazy...
..... i hope this helped you out moogs21
