Nice article. Someone told me I'm infactuated....just read this and realised that it was true.
kiddo... I have the same problem with you... and I am married.... *fainted*
is it possible for infatuation to turn into love? i was sooo in 'love' but now its obvious i was just infatuated by someone and i have slowly matured out of this but i was so sure i loved them at the time :( i want to feel like that again
I still don't know. Mine falls in between love and infatuation...:(
The article is very true! As a woman who is approaching her mid 50's, I've been there and did that. INFACTUATION is just what it is. LOVE is deeper, stonger knowing that person whom you become friends with, respect, trust and admire for the same qualities you yourself want in life. It can begin with infactuation, seeing someone who is pleasing to your eye, perhaps handsome or pretty. Everyone is different. You begin by wanting to spend more time with that person. The more you learn about your lover the more you want more. Its all what YOU want in your life and never settle for LESS. I thought I was in love when I married, I thought I was in love when I became engaged, but it has taken my muturity to sit up and think about what I really need in my life to make me happy and content.
This is written very well and explained fluently. This is a great article.
What if I feel so secure with that person, when i am with him it seems like there is nothing to think about anymore, maybe it might be love.. maybe just infatuation.. but who am I to know.. i just feel it, I feel the completeness inside of me whenever we are together.. Yes, I miss him every time, I want to be with him every time.. the sad part is, it can never be that way anymore..
I've read everything possible to determine my own situation, whether it be Love...or....Infatuation. After great deliberation my soul can now finally be put to rest. This enlightening, life changing and inspirational article has changed my life. I devoured every word, savoured every syllable…like angels @#$@#&*ing in my ears… As I ask the never ending questions “what now?”, “Where to from here?” I feel the fear abandon my side. For I now know the difference between right and wrong. Who would have thought that such a simple definition would suit the complexities of 6.7 billion people? Once upon a time I was confused about my relations with my dear brother. I thought it was wrong, I thought it might be a passing phase… but here I stand with the strength of ten lions, my heart is pure, and I am ready… I am in love!
The way i see it, Infatuation is simply "Wanting" and fantasy. Love is having and growing. You cant love without having, and you can't have without being initially infatuated... just my thoughts.-C. 1987
I've picked out the bits of this article that I like and that I'll take on board. But really I think there are just as many definitions of love in the world as there are people.
