If you say that you are only "infatuated" with a person, how does this necessarily seperate from "being in love" ??

infatuation is the idea you have of someone. love is when you know every single thing about them but still love them anyway

Infatuation is a fascination with someone. For example ...you can't take your eyes off the person, they possess qualities you admire. They may be so beautiful that you don't even think about approaching that person. Many celebrities have mulititudes that are infatuated with them.. You admire these people or person and may think you love them to the extreme.
True love is not just about the way someone looks . It is absolute, unconditional and you grow together with the person you love. You really like each other as best friends and find their qualities on the inside as important or more important than what's on the outside. You share interests together, communicate and love the person for who and what they are and their many good as well as bad qualities. It's a matter of knowing what you want in a partner and set boundaries . You really get to know each other with each moment you are together. In the beginning of love, you may think about the person all the time, you can't wait to see the person again, you feel happy and secure and like you are walking on air. Everything about you screams out..even the way you look......."I am in love"! Love is an ongoing process and takes time to develop mature love. Sure there is the chemistry there and it may start out as lust, but if it doesn't turn into love........then it is just lust and an infatuation. Being in love is usually a love that is new and that's different than loving someone. It is a new phase that hopefully grows into love which is the greatest gift of all and the greatest feeling. It depends on your age too. If you are very young, true love should wait. Many of us have experienced being in love and it ended. When you find the right one and love grows, then you begin to talk about your future together. All things follow!

Infatuation is a set of strong feelings towards someone based on nothing substancial. It disipates as soon as you get to know all sides of the person. It's often purely physical or based on a personality trait without knowing the other personalities such as a bad temper, bad habits, etc. Never make serious commitments while in the infatuation stage. Infatuation can evolve into love or it can completely disipate.

Not much. Infatuation is when you're in love, but social circumstances come in conflict with it, like being in love with someone who's married, or being in love with a minor.
You might say infatuation is societal morals that places restrictions on love. Love is spontaneous and powerful while infatuation is just an agreement between people based on their ideas of what is acceptable.
Infatuation doesn't have much value or validity and is very paltry when it comes up against love which is one of nature's most powerful evolutionary urges that procreates our species and our survival.

great question madhavi:) yOU know though these words sound synonimous but still there lies a "deep" difference !! Happiness can be found of things which may not even be beneficial to our spiritual or psychological aspect like we may go out & have our favourite dish & clothes etc., we would feel happy. But satisfaction comes from a kind of achievent, if we get good grades in studies we would get a positive feeling that says "hard word paid off" now thats more beneficial isn't it ;p[ Now peace.... I think it depends on what attitude we adopt towads the "activities" we do for "happiness" or either "satisfaction", peace actually exist in our self, it just has to be found by us. A person of ignorance might feel peace while a hard worker could be strresed. It can be even oposite to that . So peace needs to found by us.

Infatuation is when you can't stop thinking about the person and feel like you can't live without them. Love is when you know in your heart if you had to let them go, to save them from geting hurt you would without question; you know you could live life without them, because being with them even for a second was enough, but you'd never truly want to.

Genuine and true love is to love the other person in the same regard and measure as we love ourselves. This love says "I will never take advantage of you or treat you incorrectly or talk down to you because I would never do that to myself." Infatuation is really the opposite of genuine and true love and is in fact more likened unto eroticism.

infatuation can end and love can't. love is something you feel for someone forever no matter what happens you will always have love for them. infatuation is when you feel like your in love but it comes way too quickly and will eventually end.

infatuation comes and goes, its a feeling that goes away with time
Love is forever it too is a feeling but it has many aspects to it ; it hurts its happy its concern and
its physical etc.
infatuation is just a tingling of the body and mind not the heart.

Love lasts, infatuation doesn't.
