What is love is there a difference between loving someone and being in love?

Love-an intense feeling of deep affection.

Being in love- Being in love with someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with this person and you can't see yourself with anyone else but that person.

what are your opinions on love do you believe that there are two different types of views on love do you believe one is capable of loving someone but not being in love.

During this project my partner and I hope to answer the main question has the definition of love change over time. This question interest us because people of an older age with their significant other that been together for years and now a days marriages do not really last long, the longest the last is recorded to be 8years. The goal for our project is to see the difference of love throughout time and different types of people who go through it.

What is it that makes the topic love so powerful? what is it about relationships that create a bond some may even claim to be "Worth dying" for. Researcher with a Phd in Psychology Arthur Aron say  “The reason people are so attracted to cocaine is that it activates the area of the brain that makes you feel good,” this happens to be the area that is activated when people are experiencing the intense desire of romantic love. Love affects the brain giving it a feel good sensation the same way addictive drugs do caused by the dopamine a chemical in the brain.




The topic of love made it ABC News on July 10,2010 this time information from an anthropologist at Rutgers University on the similar topic of love being an addiction. What is it about your significant other that makes you feel as if you cant live without them? what lead to this? what this a drug you could not get yourself off of? what was it like when you looked the the person you love in the eyes for the first time? has your views ever changed?
