Infatuation Vs Love by CyberGypsy(m): 1:13pm On Feb 12, 2017
Sit back, get your reading glasses, get a glass of water as you journey/read through on how to unfold your affection for your spouse or his/her affection for you,whether infatuation or love.

Observation 1:You’ve Only Know Each Other For A Short Time
I have known people who declared love for each other and all but at the end it was infatuation and deceit cause they found out that they hated almost everything about the person.
if you fall in love with someone, make sure you just don't jump into the relationship without understanding who and what that person it.
if you fall in love for a short time then it complete infatuation.Love takes a while to develop. It takes intimacy, which requires a connection or attachment to someone. Love is about being familiar with someone, where a bond has been developed. You may feel attached to them, but ifyou have not taken the time to develop an intimate connection, then that attachment is coming from being infatuated, not real love.

observation 2:You Are Focused On What You Want Out Of Them And The Relationship
most people get into a relationship and can see themselves dating, getting married, having kids, and relocating to a tropical island for their retirement. They picture all of these things in detail, including short-term events, such as spending time together and falling more and more in love. But, they are focused on their future with this person from their point of view, not the other person’s point of view. If you see your relationship solely from your point of view, then it is infatuation, not love.Love is about knowing what the other person wants in life and working on compromising. It’s not about satisfying your needs and expectations solely.

Observation 3: Perfection is all you see
It’s common to put someone we are infatuated with on a pedestal so high above ourselves that feel we lucky that they can even see us. In short, we make them out to be something they are not. We see their strengths, their perfections, their positive attributes, but we are blind to their weaknesses, imperfections, and negative attributes, while we can clearly seeours.If all you can see is perfection in them, then it’s infatuation vs love. Nobody is perfect, no matter how much it seems that way.Every one of us has faults and makes mistakes and can get a bit annoying to other human beings. When you truly love someone, you can see them for who they are – the good and the bad – and love them anyway.

Observation 4: You feel Jealous
Love is not about being upset with the person because they are attractive, friendly, or popular. It is about feeling connected with them in a way that doesn’t make you feel like you are in a state of losing them to someone else. It is a confident feeling that you are bound to them in a special way and that they are so fond of you that they view you differently than other people.If someone talks to the person you are with, you become instantly jealous. You want to show everyone, including them, that they are yours. That jealousy is a sign of infatuation vs love.

Observation 5: Beauty(infatuation) over love - Superficial things
A lot of people say that they love the way someone looks or walks or talks or laughs, and proclaim that they fell in love with someone just by watching them. That’s impossible! You don’t connect to the superficial things in a person, you connect to the internal things, such as how they feel, what they believe, what their hopes and dreams are, and how they treat other people. If you love the way they sing or look, then that’s infatuation. If you know them on a deep and personal level, and appreciate those things, then that is love.

Observation 6: You feel disconnected and alone
Infatuation is about wanting to be connected to someone. But, when tough times come up, you quickly become aware of how disconnected you really are from them, and you crave their attention or concern. When you are in love, they are there for you. You have a connection. You are a team. You work through issues, both in your relationships and in your individual lives. You never feel alone because you know the person who loves you will always be there for you.

Observation 7: You expect perfection(when he/she is not God)
When you are infatuated with someone, you create unrealistic expectations about how they should act and how the relationship should go *Telemondo fans do this alot*.
– No fights are allowed.
– They can’t be rude to you or make you feel bad, even if it is an accident.
– The relationship needs to always feel amazing, and happiness is the only emotion allowed.
– If things go anything but perfect, you feel like things have gone very wrong and you don’t know what to do. When you are in love, you accept that things can go wrong and you work on making them better. The down times are how you learn to interact with each other in a compromising way. The down times teach you that you are human, and so is your partner, and that you are capable of working together to a happier and healthier relationship.

Conclusion : Be smart, don't waste your time in unrewarding relationships.
