Usually physical attraction is what brings ppl together. Not for all, some people are attracted just by personality, even if the person isn't very good looking.
I am not sure if love builds off infatuation. If you are infatuated, you indeed THINK you are inlove. And then you will realize you arent....

No. Infactuation means serious mental focus. One becomes infatuated when one wants something the other person may not want. Love begins with attraction on some level in some way. You have to notice the other person. Once noticed that person has to also respond. Once connected, one begins to explore the possibilities. Will this person be a friend, and acquaintance, more, what. At some point, assuming you both have interests in common or interests you want to learn about from the other, you begin caring how that person thinks and responds to you. Caring is actually the first stage of love. If you care enough about what the other person feels and thinks then you can build upon that in other ways including intimacy. too many people believe that intimacy is a reflection of love when it is actually an act of infatuation - an feeling you can own someone else. You can never own someone else. You can only give yourself to another, which is the final stage of love

Infatuate - verb: To inspire with foolish and unreasoning passion or attraction. (Definition from "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.)
No, love does not necessarily start with infatuation. I fell for my husband originally because he was smart, fun, and respectful. Basically, any relationship I had in the past that was based on looks really didn't last that long and/or wasn't a stable relationship at all. Infatuation definitely is linked with lust though.
If you're basing your relationships solely on looks, you're headed for trouble. Good looks doesn't mean anything: it doesn't guarantee a loyal and respectful partner or anything else that a long-term relationship needs to survive. And looks can be fleeting: someone who is very attractive at age 20 may be the ugliest thing on the planet by age 40.

True it starts with infactuation following by flirting and then falling in love. But very few people understand this formula.

Well honestly when I met my husband I truly wasn't attracted to him as far as his looks goes,but because of his wit and personality.I thought that we would just date a time or two and that would be it,but we have been together for 16 years now.I am however attracted to him physically now though.Looks arent everything.Hell look at Lyle Lovette and Julia roberts,they got married and Lyle Lovette was voted the most ugliest man in the world,so apparently there was more there than looks.

Infatuation certainly plays a part in developing a relationship. As well as a sense of fantasy and a rapid heart beat. When you meet someone that you are interested in, it usually feels a little funny and for a long while there is a honeymoon stage to this relationship. But eventually this stage always ends and then things return to a more normal style of relationship and then true love is born. This is true regardless of your age, sexual preference and/or ability/disability.

You have misspelled the word,"infatuation"....It's not at all physical attraction that would start a lasting relationship but it's how you build the foundation of that relationship. However, it would differ only with whatever motivations you have for someone. If you are attracted to someone because she is pretty, she has good looks and you want to win her attention for your own personal desires and you will only need her to satisfy that desires of yours, that is solily physical nothing serious. Young people, are immature (but depends on the individual involved as there are young people whose mature in their outlook in life) they do not see what the real meaning of life, how to value relationship with people close to their heart or the opposite sex. It means they are not ready for relationships, they just want to enjoy their life winning attention, playing with emotions, whoever will be the poor victim....that remains to be seen. When time comes that one needs to start a relationship , a lasting one, it would be hard to find one because some people or most people who know that kind of person will not trust him at all and will find him, not worthy at all of relationships as in the opposite sex or in marriage. You see, it is only what you are thinking at the moment, why not find time to think , to respect the opposite sex and give them time ,too. Not look at the physical side , but the capability of the person to love, understand. etc. or are you that kind?

Infatuation? Yes. That's how most of it starts. Or it can start out with admiration. Depends on both people really.
