You like the person because...she is pretty, intelligent, fun to be with and all the good stuff that you can imagine... She fits some if not all of your criteria of a person
You love the person because...you like long hair but she's not yet you find her beautiful, you have a thing for sexy and big breasted women yet she is chubby or not well endowed...you like girls with pretty voice so you can hang out jamming with your guitar yet it would be a miracle for her to hit the right notes but still you enjoyed singing with her... You love the person because you are breaking your own rules and criteria of a person...sometimes you don't know why and you can't tell nor measure how do you love her...But you know its there...
like has an i in it, one straight kine and ends in a period...love has o in it which never ends...
