LOVE
There is no time limit. Love can come in 1 second or it may take 50 years.
But love has a quality. If the quality is there then it is love, Even after 100 years, if the quality is not there then it is not love. It is not a matter of time.
LOVE means that you only have a desire to make your object of love happy without any selfish personal desire. Love is selfless.
That is quite a tall order to fulfill, but when it is there, it is there and you have it!
If you are trying to satisfy yourself in the relationship then you are under the influence of lust, anger, greed, etc. It is not pure love.
PURE LOVE means unmotivated and uninterrupted. 24X7 I think of you.
Pure love is even devoid of sex desire, though you may reciprocate sexually with your object of love to please them. When you have pure exclusive love for someone then you are essentially desireless. You only desire their happiness and their happiness is the source of your happiness--to the point that if they become happy by giving you distress, then you will take your own distress as your greatest happiness...because it makes them happy.
These are very elavated concepts of love and not ordinarily attainable on the material platform.
These are generally realized in our eternal personal relationship with God, who is really the only one worthy of such a high degree of love, and even then it is rarely attained.
Hope this helps!

Here's how I see what infatuation is. At first you have an attraction to a person then, after getting to know the person better you have this feeling of, "what have I ever seen in this person?" Or the attraction slowly goes away over time because your feelings toward that person were not that deeply rooted.
In love, as I see it, is after getting to know that person there is still that attraction and you want to persue a relationship as a result.
Any ways those are my opinions in the matter.

The best definition of love I ever heard is, " Love is when someone else's needs, wants and desires become as important to you as your own are."

get married and ask the question again in 20 years. If you are still married to the same person it was most likey love.

If it's love you won't have to ask anyone. You'll just know.
