first off, i think the word limerence summed it up nicely.
the way i've been led to understand it over the years is like this:
if i were to develop a close relationship with someone, and we got to know each other very well, it's safe to say i might begin to love him/her. love their kindness, intelligence, etc. traits, per say, but moreso the personality. doesn't necessarily mean that i'm IN LOVE with him/her or want to date/marry them. i have several close friends that i love dearly, and it's a different love than what i feel for my family, but i'm not in love with them, and i don't see us going anywhere in the realm of romance or marriage, etc. does that make any sense?
