What is love? What is infatuation? Are they not both the same? No, love and infatuation are totally different feelings. Love...
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
For love, the physical attraction is only one aspect of the feelings you share.
Love teaches you to be patient and to plan your future with confidence.
Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection.
Love is when both partners are allowed to be themselves and feel at ease with the other.

A man goes to hell and the devil greets him. He takes him to a hallway which has three different doors and tell the man he'll have to choose one room to spend the rest of eternity in.
So he takes him to the first door and he opens it and sees everyone standing on their heads on wooden floors. The man thought that would be pretty terrible to spend the rest of eternity on his head on such a hard floor and asked the devil to show him the second door. Everyone in the second room was standing on their heads on concrete. The man thought that was even worse to spend the rest of eternity on his head on an even harder floor. Finally the devil takes him to the third door and in that room everyone is up to their knees in dog shit and drinking coffee. The man thought that was pretty bad, but at least they could drink coffee so he told the devil he chose the third room to spend the rest of eternity in. So the man, up to his knees in dog shit, drank coffee for a few minutes. Then the devil came back into the room and said "Coffee break is over. Back on your heads."

Bunch of slogans that does not even describe what a real committed love is. This article is very laughable especially if you have been married for 50 years.Love is:-A lot of work. It's not something that just happens. It's not having a feeling of high. It's stable and enduring (I'm talking years!)-Being able to talk to each other without words (seriously, this happens especially when you've been together for decades)-Being able to say anything, but not everything.-Being able to accept that you will not always have warm feelings for each other.-Being able to accept that love doesn't always give you the ability to be patient, respectful, and secure contrary to the cheesy slogans above. Love is being able to work through these issues together and these issues are not necessarily bad either.-Being able to enjoy each other even when the sex is gone-Being able to fight each other with dignity.-Being able to fight without killing each other-Being able to scream at each other, but still care about each other-Having the ability to forgive .. and forget-Knowing that the other person will always be there, no matter what.-I said no matter what.-An experience that will change you.Finally, Love is being married to each other for 50+ years and knowing that your spouse will always be the love of your life. Caution: I always tell the young ones that it is one thing to love (or infatuated whatever you want to call it) someone and another thing to live with someone everyday for the rest of your life. This is a test of true love.

I have recently experienced both situations within the last four months. i definitely had infatuation with one person because all of the signs listed were present and I was definitely not happy. Now I am with someone, with whom we started out as friends. We waoted about a month to go out on a date. We got to know each other first and then went out. We have become friends and we are both really comforable with each other. We can't wait to see each other because we live about 80 miles apart. He is just a great person.

I looked this up because, being only 16, I was debating whether what I was feeling for this guy who by the way was, a waste of time, was love or infatuation. It was indeed nothing but, infatuation. I feel so stupid for even thinking that it was love, because sure enough, it was far from it. Thank you.

This article was excellent! It speaks the truth. The majority of items listed under infatuation were main points that I noticed in people's failing marriages or relationships. I hope that all read this one day.
