If u should define the difference between love and only admiration how it would be? (i dont have a practical clue)
Love is pretty much just mutual admiration, a 2-way street where give and recieve are equal. Admiration is pretty much a crush, unless it's professional.
Not necessarily. What about unrequited love? That's not mutual and can be painful. I admire many people for a variety of reasons but I'm not attracted to them. About 20 yrs. ago I had a relationship with a guy for about a year (maybe less). I couldn't get enough of him. I had it so bad I scared him off. We're still friends and the old feelings surface every time I see him. That may be more of an example of love vs. attraction rather than love vs. admiration.
Last spring, there was this woman whom I thought I admired. She was a teacher at my school, but not my teacher. I got to know her as a person, rather than a teacher. She was so nice to me, and cared for me, during an awful 10 days' long school trip. We spent a lot of time together during those days. Looking back now though, I realize that my feelings were more than that. As I saw her walking away with her husband (when the trip was over), my whole body ached. It wasn't feelings as strong as love that I felt, but it surely wasn't just an admiration. If it was nothing more than an admiration, I doubt seeing her with her husband would have hurt as much as it did. Worth noting is that there were no feelings on her part in this. I didn't even know there were any on mine, at that time.
i was jealous because people i admired have life partners... maybe just jealousy of wanting to spend more time with them and be their friends
Admiration: "Wow, they're so ___! I want to be around them!" Love: "Wow, they're so ___! I want to be with them!" Of course, it's a little more complex than this, but that should give you a good foundation, to compare and contrast. Sometimes, admiration can overlap into love, but usually, while some sentiments are the same, the desired result can differ.
