Sorry for the dumb question but can you list things that usually mean you love someone and its not just lust or affection that you feel for them?

You REALLY want to make them happy and that feeling never ceases.

To love is to give.

When you understand the relationship isn't working out, and you let them go.

Their looks start to not matter---or they start to look better than ever.

You think of them constantly.

You care more about their feelings than your on.
You find yourself thinking about them and smiling.
You miss them as soon as you leave their side.
You think of them when a certain song comes on.
You find yourself doing little things especially for them, just because.
You want to be a better person because you want them to think highly of you.
You do the right thing, thinking of them and what it might mean long term.
Your eyes light up when they are in your presence (People notice when you are in love).
You feel a sense of peace and contentment when you are hanging out with them...Doesn't matter what you are. doing...everything becomes more interesting when they are involved.
You want the best for them...Which translates to the best for you both as a couple.
You take extra care w/ your grooming when you are meeting up with them, because it matters.
You start thinking an making decisions, even when alone...that are future oriented....I.E. You can't imagine taking a promotion that moves you away from them, unless you know they would want to go to.
And, everything varies....it is individual to each person...But, essentialy what is important to them becomes important to you.

lust is like buying a brand new shiny car....love is accepting and fixing it when it breaks down

with people,, lust is the fairy tale, love is reality, the good, the bad, the ugly, and you are the support system

If I was out in public with her, and she became covered in poop yet I still wanted to stand by her and help her.

That's love..
