Love and Like.....Are they the same?

Someone recently asked me whether Love and Like are the same? It got me thinking over the holiday and I think they are not the same. To start with Like and Love are two completely different things. This is because when you like somebody you are just getting to know that person and trying to figure out if there is something more between the two of you. Like is not as deep as love is.
Like is just like making friends. You don't know if the two of you are going to grow to be the best of friends or discover that you really don't like that person as much as you thought you would. I don't really think that you can put together like and love because they are so different.
It is one thing to like a person but it is quite another to love that person. Don't get me wrong. I mean like is a wonderful thing but when you find love it is a spectacular and the most beautiful thing that two people can share with one another. Love will make you do things that you never thought you would do and like will not. When you love somebody you love all of them even if some of the things they do drive you crazy.
FINDING LOVE can be difficult and finding to like somebody comes a little bit easier because you know that if you don't like those annoying little habits it is easier to get rid of and discover that they are not the one for you.
Love is different thing because love runs deeper than like. Love is more forgiving and more giving than like. Love is unconditional but like has its conditions. You wouldn't just give anything to somebody you liked, but you would for the person that you love becuase it is more special and precious. Like is a precious thing, it just doesn;t get put into the same category as love becuase they are so opposite.
Liking somebody is just liking somebody but loving somebody means making more sacrifice, being more giving and being a little bit more honest with somebody.
When you like somebody you don't really see a point to being as honest than when you love somebody. Like doesn't mean honesty it means friendship and for a lot of people it will always mean just friendship. Love is more than just a friendship and it is more than just honesty. It is about giving, sharing, caring and most of all it is about commitment to that one person and nobody else. Love and like are different and Love goes a lot deeper than like ever will. Some people just get into a relationship simply becuase they like a person and then later in life they find someone who truly love them for who they are without asking anything in return. Love is Friendship and Friendship is Love. It is easy to find a husband(boyfriend) or wife(girlfriend) that you like but to find a friend in a husband(boyfriend) and wife(girlfriend) is not easy.
