Sometimes, love and hate can be very close to the same thing, and at times you might hate someone, but love them at the same time. Both love and hate are very strong emotions. In order to really hate someone, you've got to put a lot of emotions into that feeling. It's the same way with love. Usually, you cannot really hate or love someone if you don't know them pretty well. I think this is why love and hate are so similar. Sometimes hate seems very far from love though. I guess it depends on why you hate the person.
For instance. I hate the guy who live across the road from me more than I hate anyone in the world. He is gross. He drowns cats. He tries to get people to wreck into his car on purpose for insurance money. I hate him, and there is nothing about him that is good. The line between love and hate on this one is very thick.
But what about people who annoy the hell out of you, but don't actually kill your pets or put lives at risk for insurance money? Let's say there's a guy who says stupid things all the time, and is a racist, and is always verbally mean to you, but he's in your life and there's no getting rid of him. You talk to him all the time, and argue with him all the time, and you think you hate him, but without him, you'd sort of miss the familiarity of the arguments... Sometimes you even have pleasant conversations with him, but there is always that underlying hostility, and you are just waiting for him to say something mean or offensive.
I think that's a love-hate relationship. You don't know if you hate them or love them, because hate and love are so close to the same emotion. Maybe there is love, hate, and love-hate. Sometimes you love someone 100%; sometimes you hate someone 100%, and sometimes you love someone 50% and you hate them 50%. I dunno...
