i guess the polls say it all huh? cos, most men in here find that the two are totally different. and i agree with that.

it may however be a fine line, but there is a difference, however insignifincant it may or may not seem.

i disagree with shesus on this one, because i dont think that it differentiates between the stages.you can love someone and not be inlove with them...thats why there are so many divorce people who still love their ex spouse but because the tingly feeling you get when they touch you, or when you feel the earth move when they look into your eyes...is not there anymore.

there has to be that factor in any relationship however new or old. you have to feel butterflies in your tummy whenever you're with that person, your heart has got to pump lumps of custard whenever you open the front door of your home to find that they are the one's on the other side.

healer and i have been together for almost three years now and i consider our relationship to be quite old but all of the above happens each time im with him, or see him or even talk to him on the phone...even if i am pissed as hell at him, even when he irritates the shit out of me...even after all that, when i feel his hand slide onto mine and our fingers entertwine, i know that even through all his faults and mine alike, and even in the worst of times, he can make me smile, he can make the earth move for me, he can make my heart pump lumps of custard.

and because he can do all those things, i love him with every breath i have in me, with evry fibre of my being.

and the difference between the two is just that...

i mean, i love my dad, but my heart doest pump lumps of custard everytime i see him...
