With infatuation, the most important thing is how *you* feel.
With love, the most important thing is how the *other person* feels.
After all, according to Heinlein, "love" is a condition in which another person's happiness is essential to your own.

infactuation tends to be more youth puppy love type stuff but love is seeing a woman with no make up on or seeing a guy's beer gut the day after = true love

Love: it is being able to accept someone for their flaws and being big enough to stay with them in spite of them;
it makes you a better person;
it is unselfish;
has no conditions (like, "I love you if..." or "I only love you because..."); and; finally,
grows from friendship.
Infatuation: lasts momentarily, then the feeling quickly fades;
based selfish desires/intentions;
glosses over flaws;
is conditional;
happens quickly.
There is a show I watch with a quote I HELLA love that says something like, "You don't know **** about love. When a pretty little thing catches your eye and 56 years later,you **** on yourself and she's the only one to help clean it up, that's love." (lol) It's a funny quote, but it's true! It's when you can surpass all obstacles; when you find that they are the only person you can see spending your time with; when the tingle in your stomach flees, but you still find yourself excited to be with them; when you last past the little annoying things and can find greater beauty worth staying for; when every morning you wake up thinking of them; when they are the first person you call when you're going through something and the last person you call before you go to sleep; when you realize that the sweet cannot survive without the bitter, but you love them through both (and for both)- THAT'S love.

Clever:
Yes, they are often mistaken, one for the other & vice versa. Infatuation, in the best way I can describe, is based more on the shallow-er points of a persons qualities, like looks. Or when you've just known them in certain situations & don't know them fully as a person. Thats more what infatuation is. Love is based on knowing a person TOTALLY, inside & out. Know their quirks, nuances, likes & dislikes, habits, pros & cons. Love is caring a person not only for their good traits, but for their bad as well.

hi cleverfe,
actually ur talking about is of infatuation. pl note love comes after a certain age of maturity. infatuation is mere attraction towards opposite sex which all teenagers face. further there is a relationship in love and not in infatuation. enjoy the life!

love is wanting to keep each other happy through the good and bad times and after you get a good nut you still want that person around

Infatuation is a panicky, nervous, "got to move fast" type of feeling.
Love never hurries.

the different between infatuation and love is that love is everlasting and infatuation is lust and can easily end

love is like feeling like you're on the edge of something - it's something kinda scary but exciting
and eric H is right! :)
