Many people can't distinguish between liking and loving. They think that liking someone means loving someone, but the degree of liking is lower than the degree of loving someone.
In fact, love and liking are not the same thing. When you are going on a date with the person you like to have dinner or play in the playground, suddenly a group of your mutual friends or colleagues and classmates join your date. You do not exclude them from joining. On the contrary, you feel that the more people, the better, because the excitement can adjust the atmosphere.

But love is different. In the same scenario, you don’t want anyone to join your date. You will politely refuse, saying that we are full, you go on, we have already played, this is fun, you can play and other reasons to refuse.
If you like someone, you will not feel uncomfortable due to the large number of people on a date. However, if you love someone, you can only go out with the person you love. Even if you have someone else, it will be superfluous.

Why is there such a difference? Because love is special. You will change your habits because of love. You don't want to share too much time with anyone except him. Like, just like.
So, I like you, but loving you is another matter. It sounds scumbag, but if you feel different, you will treat people differently...
