Love Vs. Lust - Do You Know The Difference?

SIGNS OF LUST

  • You're totally focused on a person's looks and body.

  • You're interested in having sex, but not in having conversations.

  • You'd rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings.

  • You want to leave soon after sex rather than cuddling or breakfast the next morning.

  • You are lovers, but not friends.

SIGNS OF LOVE

  • You want to spend quality time together other than sex.

  • You get lost in conversations and forget about the hours passing.

  • You want to honestly listen to each other's feelings, make each other happy.

  • He or she motivates you to be a better person.

  • You want to get to meet his or her family and friends.

Another challenge of sexual attraction is learning to stay centered  and listen to your gut in the early stages of being with someone. This isn't easy in the midst of hormones surging, but it's essential to make healthy relationship decisions. Here are some tips to help you keep your presence of mind when you're attracted to someone. This needn't pull the plug on passion, but it'll make you more aware so you don't go looking for trouble.
