What's your definition of, "Crush," "Like," "Love" and "In Love"

In EHelp, words like "Crush," "Like," "Love" and "In Love" are used very often in questions and answers about relationships. What's your definition?

woah rob asked a question lol. in my opinion a crush is nothing but an infatuation. Love, to me, is when you deeply care for a person. In love means that that is the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Like is just saying that you have a small amount of attraction for a person that has the potential to become a crush.

Crush is from a far awy and not really knowing someone personally
like is where you have had interface and the other person is polite and laughs at you jokes saying they accept you.
love is were you have had the chance to sacrifice your wants for the other person and put there happiness before yours.
In love, is the romantic fantasy that gets that serotonin all going, and if it is real great. If the idea stops I hope that "in like" part kicks in so you can get to love.
some are addicted to the in love phase and that is why after marriage things fall apart real fast because the wooing is not there anymore.

my definition of crush is just a like.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for responding to my question, "Does she love me or not".

In my eyes she sees me as the "Nice Guy" or the "friend zone". She has told me in the past that I have a great personality and that any girl would consider herself lucky to be with me. She also compliments me on my clothes and that I look nice. One month ago she thought her e-mail was being spied on by her boss. I told her that I will stop sending her e-mails. She said no you don’t need to stop, just be careful what I send or say about her boss in my e-mails to her. She has kept about 227 of my e-mails in her Outlook within a year’s time. I have also caught her reading my e-mails over again on many occasions. I know she does this deliberately because she knew I would be nearby when she is reading them. I guess that's why she saves them, I don't know the answer. In the e-mails I send to her I basically pour my heart out to her but in person she does not acknowledge anything. It's just business as usual. I basically say to her "you are very intelligent, very beautiful and above all very valuable". She has a low self esteem and is very self conscious about her body. In my eyes she is perfect. Next week will be her 34th birthday. About four of us in the office will be taking her out. I don't know what she is afraid of. Two weeks ago I wrote a poem about her lovely eyes and when I asked her what she thought about it she finally replied saying "it was nice". She does not give me a straight answer on whether she loves me or not. If you saw her "guy friend" that she is with, he looks like an assassin / killer. He even charges her rent for living in the same household with him!!! I'm looking forward on your response to this, thank you very much again for you input, I really appreciate it.

Ask_Sean Says, in my opinion ;

Crush - you really like a pacific person (also another word would be "fancy")

Like - That one depends on what people mean "i LIKE the boy/girl" OR "i really LIKE the boy/girl" In my opinion LIKE is just a word you use to describe a friend ("do you like him"? - "yeh I like him")

Love - When you really like someone and you want to have a relationship with em and love isent all about being together (so I hear from my mum) its about being there and caring for whoever. ( I dont know what love is yet (not really) cause im only 13 but il'l learn when I grow up (hopefully))

In Love - Hmm depends cause you can say "im IN-LOVE with her/him"

Crush - When you think someone is cute.
Like - You usually like their looks, and personality.
Love - You would do anything for them.
In Love - You are, well, in Love. You would do anything for them. You love them with all your heart. <3

Crush is when you think someone is cute.
Like is where you think theyre cute, like their personality But you dont know them all that well.
Love is like, I love my friends. Someone you want to stay in your life whether its a boyfriend or girlfriend or friends.

In love, Is where You love them with all of your heart and you want to spend the rest of your life with them && have a fam. !!

Hope I helped,(:

btw- those definitons are from a teenagers point of view.

like is seeing someone as a friend or aquaintance, crush is pretty much infatuation, love is how u would feel about parents, bff, siblings, etc, and in love is when u love someone nd they love u back, and both ppl are secure in the other persons love (they don't get jealous or something cuz they know the other person only wants them)

Crush is when you like someone but you don't like wanna go out or anything. Like for me is when your friends or going out and in love is desperately needing to talk to the person and thatn and going out and etc

By the way thanxs for answering my question and ive added a comment to it if you want to check

In order of lower to higher;

Crush = Really should just be called infatuation.
Like is = Well, you don't DISlike it/them, and sometimes makes you a little happy.
In-Love = Very strong feelings for another, but not to be confused with 'Love'. It's normally based on sexual feelings whether you believe so or not, it's a very powerful emotion and easily confused with 'Love', but it's also very very easy to fall 'out of love' with someone, (if they hurt you - let's say - in anyway).
Love = Yes, it's the ultimate feeling; You want to spend the rest of your days and would probably give your life for that person (though this is often true of being 'in-love' too, but often it's mistaken for what it is) and that's why it (the word) is so overused.
Think about it; You can LOVE your family, your girlfriend or boyfriend and your pets and especially your kids.
Notice how no one (usually anyway) is IN-love with their kids or family or pets?
That's because it IS based more on sexual mores than anything else. Though at least being 'in-love' with someone often leads to a more stable 'Love' situation.

To me...
Crush= Means You barely know them but notice a quality they have that attracts you.
Like= Means You enjoy one or more of their qualities. Alike their Company.
LOVE= Means You have grown very fond of them and would go to the end of the world and back for them. Its When you cant stop thinking about them and want to be with them every moment of your life. its When you dont want to go to sleep at night because reality is better than your dreams. Love Is the strongest feeling you have for someone that walked into your life and has never left and they care sooooooo deeply for you and would die before they let anything happen to you.
In Love= Is when you care deeply for someone special to you and they mean everything to you and u litterally dont know what you would do without them. You love them more than anything.

who the fuck r you!!!you talk to much u asssss!!!!
and let me know who you are

my definition of crush is like but not love. Love is just a higher rank of like. And "In Love" is higher then all of the others. In love is a feeling like you found soulmate but love is just finding someone you really like. And liking someone is having a crush on a person. It goes in a huge circle!
