Infatuation doesn't last long and it fades quickly. Real love lasts and stands the test of time. When you're infatuated, you cannot see the other person's faults....they're "perfect." In real love, you accept that person's faults and love them in spite of it. You almost care more about them and their happiness than your own, but you do not lose yourself in the process. You let them go so to speak to where you'd rather them be happy with someone else than not happy with you. Real love is very unselfish. Infatuation is often called "crushes" or "puppy love." It will take awhile to figure out which it is and sometimes, you won't ever know until you break up and you may realize that you weren't really in love with that person.

If u have been in both of the situations then u can get to know that easily. I would say "Infatuation is for a very short period of time & True Love is Forever".
Also Its really important to judge this as soon as possible coz Your infatuation can result in a really HARD TO LIVE situation for the other person, It pains alot coz I have suffered so take care of other's imotions as well.

You know it is not infatuation when you have no problems being away from that person for an extended period of time. Infatuated couples cannot STAND to be apart for more than a day.

Infatuation - the lovey-dovey feeling or even lust - will go away and you'll know that that isn't love. Love is an action, will stand the test of time, and is sticking together through hard times and helping each other out. Don't let physical feeling and contact blind you into thinking it's love. That can all disappear. What if the person you love lost his/her ability to walk? Would you still love them? Don't fool yourself...

Well, based on my own experience, you can "detect" the feeling of love even before you get into the relationship. Love takes a few years to grow.
Ask yourself this question:
1) Would you do everything for that person?
2) Do you feel like a superhero when you are with that person?
3) Do you feel protected whenever you are with that person?
4) Would you risk everything for that person?
5) Does the feeling last?
6) Do you only like that person?
7) Do you promise that you would not hurt that person?
8) Do you promise that you would risk everything to protect that person?
If yes, then the great probability is that it is love. True love.

There is a thin line between infatuation and love. But believe me when it's love - you just know it. The world seems beautiful, you can't stop smiling, you will find hard to think abt anything else, you cant eat or sleep (though sounds cliched but is true as all the cliches).
It's the most beautiful and divine feeling. you feel elated and when you see a couple you cant help thinking abt him/her. You smile for no reason and you cry for no reason, and you wonder if you are mad. but you are just madly in love.
god bless you.

You can't. Infatuation mirrors love almost perfectly, it isn't untill infatuation wears off, usualy after six months in a relationship, that you can tell if it's really love.

Well imagine this. What if the guy/girl you are in a relationship with was horribly ugly. Or what if something happened and they lost an arm or a leg or got a deformed face from something. If this happened, would you still care about them? If not, it is infatuation, or lust.
