I think of infatuation as a crush. I think of it as the strong attraction to someone you don't really know very well.\n\nAnd cheaters are cheaters.

Looking it up in the dictionary, "infatuation" means "to inspire foolish or extravagant love or admiration."\n\nI had one... once. And hopefully never - ever - again. This is because, I think, when you have an infatuation you tend to gild over the really bad qualities of the person (say, lying, cheating, etc.) instead of really seeing and/or considering the person for what he/she is. Then again... love may cause you to do that as well.\n\nUnfortunately, there truly is no obvious difference between them (for me, anyway). I think, truly, you just gotta rely on your common sense and what-not to know what's right and what's lustful.

It may not technically be infidelity but it is certainly a very bad\nidea and will probably lead to infidelity...\nFalling in love with  someone else, even without sex, is also infidelity..

There is probably more wisdom in this question than in any answer you'll get!\n\nI think you hit it with your last thought:  Real love, instead of infatuation.\n\nPeople who 'fall in love' are not in control, they are at the mercies of their infatuation/attraction/etc.  REAL love is something that a person must CHOOSE, like choosing to dive into a pool.  Once you start, you're committed; and even if you change your mind, you're gonna get wet before you get back out.  Most people make this choice without realizing that they were in control, because usually they are allowing their desires to drive their choice; they willingly follow their desires to the edge, knowing what is at the end but unaware that they could just stop allowing themselves to be led around so.  Still, the choice was made.  If more people recognized it, there would be fewer people 'falling out of love,' because they would not have walked into it so blindly.\n\nRise in love!  That's wonderful!  And a much better analogy for the power true love has, anyway.

Infatuation is an illusion that makes you feel you are in love. Yet no one can define the boundaries of love since it is very vast and deep and the feelings are ever changing. If you really like the person, try to enjoy the moment because there will always be changes for better and worse :-)

You just know. It's hard to distinguish between love and infatuation. You just have to take it slow and if it is love you will know and you won't have to be asking. You will love the person no matter what, even if the way he eats, or drinks he drink annoys you. If you can get past the little things and feel that you truely like this person it could be love.

i don't believe in this. love is true only when the lovers understand each other. the feeling that comes in you when you look at the opposite sex for the first time is not called as love. it is lust.

It is easy to fall in love over the internet but becareful not to confuse love with mere infatuation.  The word love is used to lightly.  Wait till you are able to hold and kiss this person to call it love.  Good luck.  Believe me.  Been there and done that.

yes and that's a big problem now adays.ppl say it like it is just a infatuation or lust but its so much more them that. i dont say that till i really mean it. it took me forever to tell my boyfriend that even after he said it to me first and he ended up telling me he appreciated the fact that i waited to tell him when i ment it. we have been best friends for 3 years and going out for 2 years. love is a big deal and it buggs me when ppl use it so casually.

True love? As opposed to false love? It's just love sugar...there are many kinds but if you feel it, then it's true so no need to call it anything other than love...\n\nBeing in love is romantic love toward someone...love, is what you feel for your family or your friends...\n\nI've absolutely experienced it...and hope to do so again!

Infatuations will never cease.  It is what you do with these feelings that counts.  It is never wrong to love someone.  It is always wrong to break your vows.

Infatuation is something that fades very easily. Its there one minute and gone the next. That person does something that irritates you and the connection is gone. That's infatuation.\n\nLove on the other hand is something deeper. You have to really know a person to love them. You need to be able deal with all the things that you don't like about them and still want to spend every waking moment with them. You are sad when they are sad and happy when they are happy. You have connection on many levels. Sexually, intellectually, socially, and more.  \n\nYou might say what about love at first sight. Well sure there is love at first sight. You think when you meet someone that omg i want to spend the rest of my life with that person. The lucky chance is that you do have all these things in common and you do have the connections. What was infatuation turns into love and you never realize the transition and guess what that was love at first sight... doesn't happen much but its wonderful when it does.\n\nhope this helps

Sure.\n\nSome people gradually fall for someone and some people find themselves falling for someone much quicker.\n\nIt's all in how much time you can spend together and how well things click between the two of you.\n\nBut, I would also say that often times what people label as 'falling in love' is nothing beyond a strong infatuation.\n\n//

Yes. I think that just makes us human. Just because we are with someone, our sense don't suddenly die. It is normal to still find others attractive. As long as we don't act on these crushes/feelings/attractions, it is perfectly normal. Faithfulness and loyalty is what counts.

Personally speaking, I think the best relationship you can be proud of is between a guy and gurl who were friends. What's friendship, if I may ask? It's getting acquainted with someone for a period of time to the extent that you think, speak, behave or act almost in the same way. I want you to check around and compare relationships built on friendship and those built on infatuation. The outcome is very obvious. Cheers.
