Can you be infatuated or have a crush or in love WITHOUT having ANY feelings for that person at all?

If you don't feel anything romantic or sexual, then what is it? My current crush is entirely physical. I'm not the love type, and I don't really think he is, either.

it's never "love" at first sight - that can only be lust or infatuation. love is such a strong emotion, you could never possibly feel its impact unless you knew someone....

You can admire somebody without having a crush on them  so they do not have the same meaning. To me the word crush implies that you do not know that person very well, which fits in with your feeling that it has some connection to "secret admirer."Once you get to know a person you don't have a crush on them.

It depends on the chemistry between you and that person and the situation. Sometimes you may fall in love with someone instantly, sometimes months, sometimes it may take years before you realize that you do indeed love that person and may have loved them all along.

Yes, If that person feels as strongly about you as you do them. When you are in love it is hard to think about anything else.

I have never fallen in love so cannot help. But, as far as I listened from my friends the best way to get sure that one is in love is to check if u have similar feelings towards other guys like him and what life means to you without him ;)

There is no such thing (to me) as falling in love.  You are first attracted to a person but you need to take the time to get to know them from the inside out. That takes time. Years even.  A lot of time when people are building a relationship based on some foundations of trust, loyalty, honesty, likenesses, etc. love follows.  When you say you love someone, if you truly know the meaning - Read ! Corinthians 13.  It explains love like nothing else.

When you are in love you are completely in love or just not in love.

no as long as they agree that there is attraction, mainly physical i guess, between them.\nyou know you can make love to someone whom you dont love deep down but still you feel head over heels once you see him/ her

When its infatuation you always wondering if the other is cheating or is this going to cause a break up. Basically your constantly worrying and have no trust. When your in love you trust that person completely and know you are going to be loved no matter what you do or how you look.

Love is a deep feeling while infatuation is something you just admired.

No. You can love someone dearly, but not be in love with them. When you are "in love" then no one else matters. She/he is your world. You connect on so many different levels that its impossible to share that same feeling with another person @ the same time. No way.

Yo9u are dealing with two different people, with different emotional feelings, thoughts, etc.  If there is absolutely no physical attraction for either, I would say yes, if there is then "no".  Tough question, because you have to know the people involved.

There is a difference from being in love and loving someone.  You dont necessarily have to be in love to love someone.  And sometimes that butterflies in your stomach is more lust then love.  I would say that to have a great relationship you must love one another but being in love fades and being in lust fades faster.

no, it is not possible. it is not "love" you feel, it is only your ambition about possessing him or her. i recommend you to read "die Kunst des Liebens" by erich fromm then you'll see what love is.

Well I think you can be infactuated with someone at first sight and if you are lucky it developes into love - so my answer I guess would be yes - \n\nas for the first part, where you talk to a person but never see that person, I think it is a whole lot less likely - I mean no matter what anyone says, looks, and the way a person carries himself does have a lot to do with attraction -

Absolutely not...you can only be lusting for two people at the same time.  Love is a true devotion to one individual.  If you have to wonder if you are in love with two people then you don't love either.
