Infatuation-you are so obsessed with someone you fail to see any faults
Crush-you have feelings for someone but do not necessarily act on them
Infatuation and crush both may be purely physical.
Puppy love-typically seen in very young couples (high school, junior high..), two people are in a new relationship and act so cutesy you want to vomit.
Love-isn't blind, but it is unconditional...someone may have the worst habit in the world, but you love them regardless...you know you're in love when another's desires become your desires too...you want the best for another.

Infatuation: A fantasy that is created in one's mind based on emotion of how things would be if they were paired with another (often specific) person.
Crush: An emotional (sometimes desperate) longing to be with someone else, again based on fantasy of how things would be with that other person.
Puppy Love: An emotional response in caring about someone else very deeply in a romantic way (again, based on fantasy of how things would be with the other person). This is very close to an infatuation.
Love: A conscious choice to commit (unto death) to honor and cherish the other person and to do what is best for their good (even if what is best is not you in his or her life). This love is not based on what the other person can do for you, but your choice of loving the other person unconditionally. Emotions can enter in, but love is primarily volitional. "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant; love does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; love bears all things, understanding in all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

The first 3 are essentially the same.
Love is developed over time, and is known once the other three have been gone for awhile.

There are more similarities than differences. They all add up to one thing: Git me outta here!
