Love and Lust:
Love is the whole deal, the complete person, a relationship.
Lust is sex.
Love is desire for the other person to make love with. Love is wanting the person, his or her time, to be with that person, waking up with that person, the pleasure of making that person a meal, the pleasure of being a listening ear and having someone who enjoys listening to you. Love is so much more, so deep, so fulfilling.
Lust is carnal, just wanting the person for the one thing, an act of sex. It is empty and satisfies only the body.
If someone tells you that you are lusting for someone, or that you are infatuated, or that you are obsessed with someone, especially sexually, then get alone and think, “Do I want all of him/her, or do just want sex?”
If you desire sex with this person, eating together, time together, holding hands, talking, being sentimental, kissing, etc, then it is not lust or an infatuation etc, because the feelings that you feel are telling you something far more than you wanting the sex act only. In fact, if you feel that you want to live with this person, have children with this person, and have an intimate relationship, then you are in love.
It is wise to know the differences between lust and love
