Question by Amber: What is difference between friendship love and romantic love?
I have been good friends with this guy for over three years. He is in love with me but I’m not sure I feel the same. Sometimes I think I do like him in a romantic way. I’m just having a hard time figuring out the difference with him. I have dated him before but I decided to end it because I just wanted to be friends. I don’t know if what I feel is just friendship love or romantic. What should I do? Any advice would be great.

If you are questioning it to this degree I would say friendship love, but it also depends on how old you are and how long you guys have been together.Romantic love turns into friendship love after a long time, but that’s usually when you are older and the hormones calm down a bit. The romance is still there, just not that pheromone-y passion. I think you are attracted to him, though not in love, and that you have strong friendship feelings for him. I am getting the idea that he is not “the one” for you.
