IN love with the Person that he is...?

So the other day i heard one
of my friends asking another friend,

J: Do you love him?
N: I..can't really say that i love him i mean i need to get to know him more than i already do.
J: well...
N: No, J..i love the person that he is.
i love everything about him. I am in love with the guy that he is..is that loving him?
obviously in some way it is but is that what you meant?

i dont exactly know what this post is about?
it just has me thinking and i cant really figure it out...

who are you in love with?
is it different then just loving someone?
do you love them or are you IN love with them?

Britt, im DYING tro know what book that is. ive seen you posting about it.

Yeah I once heard someone say "I love you, but am not IN love with you anymore." I think is what Britt had said. I do not think that you can love someone without truly knowing them. Which is kind of tricky but if you REALLY think about it it makes sense. That is why everyone laughs or does not take the youngins' seriously when they say they love someone who they have only been with two weeks.

Love takes time, it takes more then thinking someone is cute. You have to truly know the person inside and out and accept them for who they really are and that takes a lot longer than a few weeks. Months maybe even years. Hope I helped. I think I just rambled. Lol. =]
