As I understand it, it has nothing to do with friendship --loving vs. SOship--'being in love'. 'In love' is the silly sort o' thing I thought I had outgrown (you mean, I WON'T outgrow it? Oh, DEAR.) It usually (make that *usually*) has lots to do with hormones and looks and silliness, and darn little to do with having things in common, or being able to talk to each other. Love, on the other hand, is a committed thing that has everything to do with accepting and caring and forgiving one another. Let me see.....the trick is to combine the two.
