Love and infatuation are both intense emotions that one feels for another person. These feelings are most often confused for each other by many people. But the two feelings differ in their actuality of love, intensity and final outcome.
Love is an intense feeling of deep affection. While Infatuation is the state of being completely lost in the emotion of unreasoning desire
Infatuation leads you to Urgency, intensity, sexual desire, anxiety, high risk choices, reckless abandonment of what was once valued.
Love is Faithfulness, loyalty, confidence. Willingness to make sacrifices for another. Working at settling differences. Able to compromise so that either both win or at least give the other person`s opinion a chance.
Sometimes infatuation brings emptiness, consequences of choices made while under the influence of mind numbing temporary lust.
Love will make a deep affection, contentment, confidence. Partners communicate and negotiate appropriate expectations. Requires a lot of selflessness and polite assertiveness. You are loving your best friend.
Infatuation is delusional and just for a time period. Not real. Love is unconditional and the real deal. So be careful and find out for whom your heart is really pumping for.
