Infatuation makes you afraid that if the person saw and knew you as you really are, he or she might not like you any longer. Your focus is on looking and acting the way you think he or she wants you to.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you don't really think are right just to keep the relationship. He or she tries to talk to you into thinking something is right even when you know deep down it is not.
Infatuation is jealous, mistrusting, and uncertain. It makes you wonder and worry that you will be dumped when he or she is friendly with someone else.
Infatuation is very focused on looks and attractions
Infatuation seems to happen all at once -- often before you even know each other very well.
Love means you can be the real you. You don't have to pretend to look or act the way you think this person wants you to.
Love makes you more likely to do what you know is right. Love will not ask you to do things you are morally unsure of or are not ready for.
Love involves trust. It brings security. You enjoy each other's friends without suspicions or jealousies.
Love takes time. It grows as you deepen your knowledge of each other.
Love involves the total person...not only physical attraction and looks. Love admires personality and character traits as well. You enjoy doing things and talking together.
