to love someone


These words mean to have a strong feeling of closeness and care for someone.

The most common word for this, and the word with the broadest meaning, is love. Love is used to describe all strong feelings of closeness and care between two people, whether those two people are in a romantic relationship or not. When it is used to describe a feeling between members of the same family, it is not romantic.


I love you.
He said he's never loved another person as much as he loves me.
She loves her children very much.

If you adore someone, you love them very much and respect them.


He absolutely adores his wife.

If you dote on someone, you love them completely and think they are perfect. Dote on implies that you give that person all of your attention in a way that is not always positive.


She dotes on her grandkids.

If you love someone very much, you can also say that you are crazy about someone or, in informal UK English, mad about someone.


I'm just crazy about our new daughter-in-law - she's perfect for our son.
UKHe's absolutely mad about his new boyfriend.

There are many words for having a strong romantic feeling for someone. If you are in love with someone, you love them in a romantic or sexual way.


I think I'm in love with her.

When you start to feel romantic or sexual feelings for someone, you fall in love with them or, informally, fall for them. Fall for is informal, and implies that you began to love someone very suddenly.


I have a confession to make: I'm falling in love with your sister.
I fell for him the first time I laid eyes on him.

In informal English, if you have a crush on someone, you have a strong feeling of love for someone or attraction to them that does not last very long. In informal UK English, you can say that you have a pash on or for someone.

UKHe had such a pash on her.
