Question:
Okay so what's the difference...
Have you ever had one of those relationships where you know it was just infatuation but you still wanted to be with the person or w/e
and sometimes you want this infatuation to somehow turn into love? is that possible?
mm like for example? me..lol anyways i'm kinda in this relationship and i take a course in school and we did a unit on relationships...and the teacher was talking about love and infatuation and the more i listened to this thing i kept getting the thought that maybe the relationship I'm in is not love but infatuation..like at first i thought it was and i wanted it to be love, but the more the teacher talked, the more i got the thought..
anyone like that?
Answer:
it's really hard to tell what it was unless u really experienced love before
Answer:
I thought about this as well. I dated my ex for 6months and I never knew if I was in love with her or just really really really liked her.
Answer:
In my opinion you can't really love a person until you have been with them long enough and see everything about them, then it's better to decide. I've lived with a lot of ex's and I realized that there were a lot of problems that couldn't be worked out and lots of differences between us that neither of us couldn't get past. So to me it was more of lust or just wanting to be with SOMEONE rather than it actually being anywhere close to love. But when you do find that someone you love, I don't think you will question it too much and you will just know.
Answer:
i`m in that situation right now...
i`m not sure if i just really really really really really like this guy or if its love. i keep telling myself its NOT love because i`m really young for it and all... but then sometimes i want it to be love _
*sigh* so confusing sometimes, eh?
Answer:
your infatuated with a guy/girl when you like him only cuz of his physical features
if your infatuated cuz of good inner qualities it usually turns into love
Answer:
jealously is infatuation,not love. read that somewhere online..haha
Answer:
love is when you see someone and their flaws and still want them despite the flaws really annoying you at times...
love is wanting the best for the other person even though the best thing doesn't include you
love is waiting hope against hope that the other person will find happiness
love is staying when things are bad
Answer:
it's hard to distinguish! i wish i knew the answer. but we'll have to see if we will tell the difference.
Answer:
i've been struggling with this problem too...i've always fallen for girls really deeply and sometimes i don't know if it's just infactuation or is it really love? what defines love? i have a girl that i want to take a chance on...i miss her a lot and miss hearing her voice and if i'm shopping i would see things that i wanna buy for her, even though it's not necessary. that ain't love right? i've never been in love so i'm just curious. would relocating for a person be considered love? doesn't it take two to be in love...in my situation haha...not even close!!! maybe i'm not capable of loving...just really really really like that person? or i haven't found the one if there's such a damn thing in this world. I'm pretty skeptical about that.
Answer:
I'm sorta wondering the same thing..
I dated my ex for a year and a half but I can't tell whether it's love or I really x9234 liked him.
Well I don't know, I'm still trying to figure the the difference.
Answer:
Infatuation is the precursor to love. It's kind of the preview, and all the giggles and sighs that you go through before you actually LOVE.
INFATUATION
- Crushes, mild stalking, borderline obsessions.
- Usually an attraction based on what you see, or a certain talent he/she has or something along those lines.
LOVE
- Much much much much MUCH deeper, more substance than infatuation.
- Attachment instead of attraction.
Words don't do the subject justice. You'll know what infatuation is once you experience love. Then you can compare and see the difference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Answer:
im a christian..so i have a biblical reference to love..haha..
but i got my own opinions~ lol
but like most people said..infatuation is only skin deep i guess..and love is deeper
and i really agree with what galinda said~ =D
Answer:
most people won't be able to tell the difference if they haven't felt love before..
nd some people say that infatuation is only about looks
well i know some people who thought they were in love because they knew this person so well and they were best friends and all that stuff but it all turned out to be infatuation in the end so infatuation can be a tricky thing. i guess all you can do is trust and follow your heart..
and a lil something to think about: infatuation comes from the latin word fatuus which means stupid..
Answer:
your infatuated with a guy/girl when you like him only cuz of his physical features
if your infatuated cuz of good inner qualities it usually turns into love
yeah I agree - that is why people who are infatuated with someone really irritate me not to mention those that mistake infatuation for love...grrrrrr
