So yea.... that's my question. Can lust be mistaken for love or can lust turn into love?

If this is inappropriate, sorry. Mods have every right to close this topic. I'm just looking for an answer.

[kiralz0mg]

wrong thread LOL. but yeaah lust can be mistaken for love but it can also turn into love because you can learn to love someone.

[papabear]

All the time. Just look at the Love and Relationships section.

[lillyROSE]

yah....

because people today
always say "if you love me have sex with me.."

that's the reason why they mistaken lust from love...

[ShadowMax76]

if lust means physical attraction,

sure.

love is when your bf's gorgeous face got eaten by chimpanzee, and you still love him and stick with him undeterred. thrown off a little by the situation, but undeterred.

[mintcracker]

love is not butterfly feelings in your tummy, or when you can't stop looking at you s/o's face etc,
Genuinely wanting the best for your s/o, that is even if his happiness, future doesn't include you, you'll push him hard to go after it anyway.
Sticking with him through thick and thin, not giving up, loving him for who he is and despite knowing the bad things about him (that may annoy you or whatever) still don't give a damn bc you love him.
And also yah ^ what shadowmax said.
Oh and just cos sb thinks about sb all the time, doesn't mean they love them
Love is commitment, trust, understanding.

by nubs, yes.

Lust = strong physical attraction.
Love = beyond the superficial.

"love at first sight" <- generally it's lust at first sight.

[KOGEPANN;)]

Most of the time yes, butt you'll never really know unless you take a shot and see for yourself really.

[x.3christine]

it can be sometimes. but usually you can tell the difference

[MangoStar]

It certainly can be mistaken if one doesn't know what they're doing. After a few relationships and etc, you begin to tell you when you just want the person physically and when you really do love them.

[whatismyname]

can lust be mistaken for love? yes it can. but in some cases, was it really a mistake? or it has already turned into love?

one of the many indications is......do you keep going back to the same person for lust? (since we're only talking on the grounds of lust and nothing else) this doesnt have to mean anything but it can potentially be something more.

and that answers to your second question: can lust turn into love? yes

[bonjour tristesse.]

lust is to desire as to love is to feel. its easily mistaken but if someone would have thought hard enough, i think it could be easily recognized that most of the times, we lust rather than love.
