The answer to this question depends on the person to whom you're referring. We often use the phrase "in love" when referring to someone in the romantic sense. In this case, when you're "in love" you also "love" this person. These terms are often used interchangably when used in this sense. Often times, you hear of a cliche breakup line, "I love you but I'm not "in love" with you." In this case, the person breaking up with the "dumpee" is not "in love" and therefore does not love the person they're breaking up with. To address the original question, "can you love someone but not be "in love" it's a simple yes but only when referring to someone in the non-romantic sense. For example a friend or sibling you can "love" but not be "in love" with because we only use the term "in love" when referring to someone in a romantic sense.

∙ 14y agoIts not necissarily "the idea of THEM", it is the idea of being with someone. Having a relationship with them.
Answer
You have to at least be around a person and get to know them in order to love him or her. I'm not sure what is meant by "the idea of them" but I am assuming that it would be something like seeing somebody that you don't know and deciding that you would like to or love to have a relationship with them. If you already love someone I would think that you would also love the idea of being with them and having a relationship. I met someone right after high school that was a great person from a good family, had a good career getting started, money, morals, good character, etc. who was totally in love with me. He was in a group of friends that I had. A friend of a friend. Everyone thought we would make a great couple. The idea of a relationship with him sounded good but I didn't feel the same way towards him. I liked him as a friend only. We never dated. If you really love someone you will know it without a doubt.

∙ 11y agowell thats a difficult question. but it could be because you see him or her as a best friend or brother or sister. and you care too much about them to date them.
Answer
It can happen but if you really love someone enough you will want a relationship with them...it's only natural to want to be with someone you love.

∙ 14y agoThere is a big difference as you can love anything, an item of clothing or a tv show, but to be 'In Love' you need to have a deeper connection with a person. Loving someone is easy to spot

What is the difference between being in love and being in love with the idea of someone?
Being in love is when you love someone for who they are. Being in love with the idea of someone is when you love what you want them to be, but not who you truly are. Answer There are some people out there who just want to be in love with Someone...they really don't care who. That would be being in love with the idea of being in love. Really being in love is when you meet someone, that special person who has an effect on you like no one else does, who you want to spend your time with, share things with, do things to make them happy, be there for them, etc. That person is WHO you want to be with and cannot be replaced by someone else.
