 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.
Most people begin to form romantic
relationships based on love. Love is
deep affection for someone and is based on a
true desirefor the other person’s best
interests. In a healthy relationship, the other
person shares and responds with the same
kind of love. Learning to develop, nurture
and even deal with the loss of these
relationships are important ways to prepare
for adult relationships.
Infatuation or crush is the state of being
completely carried away by unreasoning passion or
love; addictive love. Infatuation usually occurs at
the beginning of relationships when sexual
attraction is central.
