Is There A Clear Difference Between...? by Twill92(op): 3:43pm On Oct 14, 2015
The word Infatuation, Love and Lust is not a new word in our society... Lust can easily be differentiated from the other 2 but the closeness of Infatuation and Love has made it difficult to spot the differences....

are there actually differences btwn them? or not?... your opinion n experiences please

[color=#1980BC]Well infatuation is like Love but it's not love. It happens just for a temporary moment and can last for as long as 5-6 months.

During that period,you get a strong feeling as if you're in love and if one is not careful,he may act on his feelings

Love is stronger than infatuation and lasts longer. It overcomes many tribulations. One simple and easy way to know if you are just infatuated with someone is when there is a bit of selfishness in your feelings towards the person you have feelings for.[/color]

Infatuation stems from not having a mature understanding about love. Most teens are guilty of this. I believe true love comes with a proper understanding of the person and your emotions

True Love never dies, never gives up, never wanes, keeps no record of wrongs etc etc etc. But unfortunately, in this day and time, love is rarer than diamonds.

[color=#1980BC]There is a bit of selfishness in the sense that your feelings towards that person is based on how a relationship with that person will benefit you.

I'm not talking about monetary or material benefits but emotionally. You just feel like you need that person for emotional support and compatibility. People get infatuated mostly when they are desperately in need to find a partner. On the long run when they have satisfied themselves everything fades out with time and they feel little or nothing for that person.

Personally,i believe infatuation can gradually grow into Love if nurtured carefully and patiently. The temporary feelings will die and then the real feelings of love will blossom.[/color]

Re: Is There A Clear Difference Between...? by Cutehector(m): 5:29pm On Oct 14, 2015
D reason why love is rare is because we like to get deceived with words dan wit actions.. Imajin my ex told me she loved me and expected me to tell her I love her bak... I"v not felt any love for her so why is she forcing it? Jeez!

Look here ladies, love is not a feeling, rather an act.. Its a doing word, not an adjective. Thr is nothing like love wen u r young, or in ur teenage years, its just hormones fvckn wit ur brain.. Truth be told, I hav neva felt anylove for d opposite sex eva, and I wish to, or rather its somthing I want to do. Naturally, I"m kind, and nice, and I"m not ready for love yet until I"m able and capable for it.. Nw let's not deceive ourselves, we are all young, we should be havn fun instead of falling in love cheesy. If u wana keep ur virginity, den stay out of relationships. Be single and mastturbatte urself continuously, cheesy buh if u want a functionin relationship, den be ready for d gameshow.

Love is established as soon as familial bond is established between a couple. Till then, one can't really ascertain. The only exception will be when there are concrete evidences to proof the fact that 'this is really love' smiley
