What is the difference between : Like and Love ?

I wish I knew too! ... 'Love' is such an illusive/elusive concept.. :p

But on a serious note, there is quite a big difference - some would say a world of difference- between the two.

'Love' is considered to be a much stronger emotion and is usually associated with romance and sentiment, while 'like' usually refers to a judgment, a preference for one thing over another.

A summary of the definitions for 'love' found at dictionary.com is..
Love: a profoundly tender, passionate affection; sexual passion or desire; strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything

Two examples:
