I like my friends and want them to be happy. With love I think you feel a deeper emotional connection, share thoughts and secrets you may not share with friends, and feel that person is someone who respects, trusts, and puts your happiness first and vice versa. When you love someone (especially romantic love) you crave their presence, with those you just like, not so much or as frequently.
You’re always welcome Hillary I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend!
Great comment, thank you Pamela.
