Love or Infatuation?

Can you tell the difference between Love and Infatuation? Well, as you can see...this is already an old post of mine the same with Sayings about Love. And like Sayings about Love, I'll never get tired of posting this because it is really nice.

So without further ado, Love or Infatuation?


Infatuation is the instant desire. It’s one set of glands calling another. Love is the friendship that caught fire. It takes root and grows one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his/her presence, even he/she is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him/her, near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait.

Infatuation says, “We must get married right away. I can’t risk loosing you.” Love says, “Be patient. Do not panic, he/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence.” Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you must admit it is difficult to be in one another’s company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy. Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before lovers. Infatuation lacks confidence. When you are away, you wonder if he/she is cheating on you. Sometimes you even check. Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. You feel that trust and it makes you even more trustworthy.

Infatuation might lead you to do things you’ll regret later, but Love will never will. Love lifts you up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
