Infatuation is a temporary and intense passion that can lead to skewed perceptions and unrealistic expectations in a relationship, often characterized by exaggerated virtues and impaired judgment. In contrast, love is a deeper emotional commitment built on understanding, trust, and long-term dedication, distinguishing between attraction and genuine affection. The document outlines the differences between infatuation and love, emphasizing that while infatuation may ignite a thrilling beginning, love requires a more substantial foundation for lasting fulfillment.

3. Infatuation
is the state of being
completely carried away by
unreasoning desire

4. Infatuation is falling in love with or
becoming extremely interested in
someone or something for a short
time. If you have
an infatuation with a particular
singer, you probably listen to
her/him on repeat all day long, at
least this week.

5. If something infatuates you, it has
caused you to become foolish. We say
you have an infatuation when you
express a crazy, extreme love of
something––a person, a style, a band,
anything. Infatuations usually don’t last.
Like incredibly intense crushes or the
stomach flu, infatuations come on
strong and then get forgotten.

10. If you answered yes to four or more, you are infatuated.
And here you thought all those intense feelings signified that you were meant to be
together, were soul mates and that this kind of love had never been experienced by
another couple on the planet!
I have some good and bad news. First the good news – this relationship may mature
in time and gradually lead to a lifelong, healthy and fulfilling relationship. The bad
news is – your brain is playing tricks on you.
The Problems with Infatuation
Missing parts of Reality: By exaggerating their virtues and downplaying their flaws,
you are not seeing the whole person. Love is not blind. It sees all that is there and still
loves.
Impaired Judgment: Like a junkie, you will go to unhealthy, sometimes humiliating
lengths, to keep them.
Unsustainable: Dopamine requires novelty so you will eventually build up a
tolerance after you get use to each other. It can take up to a year or two, but
eventually, it will be harder to have the same buzz as you did in the beginning.

11. LOVE

16. Love
a decision to commit oneself
to another and to work through
conflicts instead of giving up. A
deeper understanding or care

17. LOVE.. you can see it in different kinds. The one's feeling with another with pleasure is
called love. You can love all. A child, an elderly man, a bird, an animal etc., whichever, if
it gives you pleasure and joy, it is called love.
Most of the people thinks that love means between a guy and girl. Yes, it is also a love
but it is one of the branches of love. Now, we can see the definition for love. If a guy or
girl fall in love means, it is a love. A real love is built on basement of full understanding,
belief, confidence and trust. In fact he knows her fully, her natures, her family
background etc., vice versa. This is a long lived love.
Just as she looked, and he looked and saying we are in love means, it is not a love. It is
called an attraction. He does not know her natures, similarly she does not know him or
his background.
This is one attracted by another. This is a short lived love. A building of love without
basement. If ones the attraction goes, the another will go. A real love will live long, an
unshakable. Now, we can see the third part of love. A guy seeing a girl and fall in love,
but the girl does not know his love. similarly, a girl.

18. This is called one sided love. This will go automatically after some imaginations for some
time. Another interesting love, a man loves a girl and the girl is 15 to 20 years younger
than him.
This love may end with good or bad, and if the man happens to be a rich, well versed,
and the girl happened to be from a poor family, there may be possibilities, but this is
compulsory love. The situations, circumstances forced to agree his love.
If a girl who is rich loves a poor boy means, as usual opposition will be there, and the
girl's adamant nature will get success but all her family will agree then finally, this is
called compassionate love. If two old man and woman love means, though it is their
decision and life, but it is also considered a love, but a late love.
Fact: Surely, please understand one thing. In the love affairs, the girl always stick on her
decisions, she never go back on her decisions, and she will face any opposition, but the
boy's mind will jump here and there on seeing situations, favors etc., andmay change his
opinion. Yes, this is true. The girls are top on taking decisions, and are never shakable,
but boys are always shakable. If the boy can depend on a girl, she will always be faithful
and trusted, but if a girl depends on the boy, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his love on
any reasons.

19. Love
it is a decision to devote
yourself to another person for
better or worse

20. Infatuation vs. Love
Love and infatuation are both intense emotions that one
feels for another person. These feelings are most often
confused for each other by many people. But the two feelings
differ in their actuality of love, intensity and final outcome.
Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by
unreasoning passion or love; addictive love. Infatuation
usually occurs at the beginning of relationship when sexual
attraction is central. Love can be described as feeling of
intense affection for another person. It is most often talked
about as an emotion between two persons. Hence is also
sometimes referred to as interpersonal love.
