What's love and what's plain physical attraction? Well, most of us do get confused at times and that is why we get stuck-up in relationships and tend to get disappointed when things don't work in our favour.

So, it is better to understand the difference between love and attraction. When you're attracted to a person only at a physical level, you might get disappointed sooner or later when the attraction fades away.
