Sometimes it is really difficult to pull apart your feelings and label them into infatuation or love. When you first start dating someone, there are so many new and exciting feelings going on inside of your body, you probably have no idea exactly what you feeling. You may think you are falling in love but when you step back you might know it is too soon for those feelings. Infatuation and love are so similar, it is hard to differentiate between the two. When you think of infatuation you should know that the feelings associated with infatuation are often focused on physical chemistry alone. You may have a strong connection, but may not know each other well enough emotionally and personally to be in love. When you are in love, you feel that you know the person well enough to feel comfortable with whom they are, without wanting to change them. You would risk anything to be with this person, no matter what the cost. You feel as if you would never be happy without this person in your life. It is a hopeless feeling at first. Love is much more intense than infatuation and lasts longer. While infatuation fades quickly, love is everlasting. |
