like= 喜欢 love=爱 you can say 'like ' to all of your friends.. but you just can say love for your boyfriend and your family..

I like coca cola, but I love my children. Big difference!

Of course,It's really different.. 1,Liking a person,you don't need to love him/her,but loving a person,you must like him/her. 2,Like can be love easily,but after loving,It's hard to say"like". 3,Like is permissive,but love is selfish. 4,When you stand in front of whom you love,your heart will beat faster,but when you stand in front of whom you like,you just feel happy. 5,When you are looking at whom you love,you will be shy,but when you are looking at whom you like,you will just smile. 6,When you talk to whom you love,sometimes it's hard to say sth,but when you talk to whom you like,you can say anything you want.. 7,When you see the one whom you love crying,you will cry with him/her,but when you see the one whom you like crying,you will comfort him/her in a good way. and so on...really much to say..ahaha
