wats the difference between love and infatuation???
can u smebody plz tell me the difference or is infatuation just like the Love/Affection thread dat was opened recently!
Re: difference.....
infatuation is basically not serious. It may be physical or sexual. But basically it is short lived. I have no clue how to define love. Affection is feeling for someone else which is far more emtional.
Love is very very very hard to define.
Re: difference…
Haha - love is when you’re willing to/actually do have a family with that person. Making a home together is not what bollywood makes it out to be…
You gotta clean toilets, even when you didn’t dirty it…
You gotta cook food for your spouse (goes for hubbies too 
)
You gotta be their friggin’ maid.
You have to listen all the time.
You gotta make the finances run…which means your money is not really your money…
You gotta put up with it when the other wants coral-colored curtains and you want Spiderman curtains…
Infatuation is just playing around without the committment.
Re: difference.....
love (lŭv)
A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
infatuation (ĭ-făch'ū-ā'shion)
A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction.
An object of extravagant, short-lived passion.

Re: difference.....
Infatuation is going crazy for some one based on some facts, love is just going crazy.

Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway. "

In most cases infatuation leads to love.

Re: difference…
Its not something someone can tell you. You feel it. We don’t know of the feelings you and your SO feel for each other. Its a very personal thing you can’t explain to others.
Re: difference.....
When you and that person are talking about marriage...and actually doing it. In other words, all you have to do is ask each other if the two of you should go talk to your parents.
If one chickens out or both, then its not love. :-)
Re: difference…
^ this says it all.

Re: difference.....
love has nothing to do with marriage. actually the woman who loves you just cuz u promise to marry her and posts that as a pre-condition to loving u.... doesnt really love u. run as fast as u can. she is just after u for her selfish designs and and doesnt really give two hoots about u.
pcg, ur views r wrong yet again. what does love have to do anything with marriage???????
Re: difference.....
Marriage isn't a precondition to love. Rather the opposite. Its a necessary consequence of love. If there is no marriage, then there was no love.
Re: difference.....
why is it a neccessary consequence? i have to marry to love someone. and what is marriage? a piece of paper... signed in the presence of a dumb as(s) molvi who recites stuff he doesnt understand. think outside the box pcg.
