I Am Afraid Of Relationships

Love is a very different thing than lust.
How can I tell the difference?

I think you'll know. It may take time, but you'll know. It's constantly wanting to be around them. It's not just wanting to be sexual. It's wanting to have them close, to make them laugh when they're sad, to wipe away the it tears, to never let them down. It's feeling a deep connection to someone. Lust is wanting someone's body. It's wanting them in a sexual way, not in a respectful way, for a lack of words. When you're in love, you're happy if they're happy, even if you've had a bad day. It's something that just makes you feel good and makes you want the other person to feel good, not by how you can please them or touch them or anything like that, but by how you can see their smile more and how you can make their worst days better. I think you'll know when you're finally in love, and it's not just lust.
