Are you really in love? Or do you think that you are
in love?
There is a big difference between Love and infatuation.
Some people can't tell the difference, thinking they are
in love but really it is a deep infatuation. Infatuation
is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root
and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You
are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There
are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits
and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon
not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance
of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and
grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed
by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not
separate you. You have so many wonderful little films
in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far,
you know they are yours, and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away.
I can't risk losing them." Love says, "Be patient.
Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation
has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are
together, you hope it will end in intimacy.
Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship,
which makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before
you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When they're away, you
wonder if they're cheating. Sometimes, you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened.
They feel your trust, and it makes them even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret,
but love never steers you in the wrong direction.
Love is an upper. It makes you feel whole. It completes
the circle. It fills the empty space in your heart. Love
is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It
makes you think up. It makes you a better person than
you were before. If you have love in your life, it can
make up for a great many things you don't have. If there
is no love in your life, whatever else there is has a
lot less meaning. The secret of our being is not only
to live but to have something to live for.
INFATUATION
Infatuation is a feeling; real love involves a commitment
also. Infatuation is just love of emotion. Real love,
though, is love of devotion. Only the emotions are affected
in infatuation, but in real love both the emotions and
the will are involved. Next, a person "fall into"
infatuation, but "grows into" real love.
Guys, have you ever seen a girl who was so beautiful
that you thought you'd faint? This is infatuation! It
is based totally on physical attraction. often you don't
know much in-depth about the person you so-called love.
Thus, infatuation is mostly biological. Also remember,
never tell a girl you love her, unless you are willing
to marry her. Then, infatuation is basically selfish where
real love is basically selfless. Infatuation is more interested
in satisfying yourself and the feeling than it is in the
other person.
Real love is primarily interested in the other person.
It seeks to give instead of get.. Love unselfishly seeks
the highest good for the other person.
Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation
where real love is strengthened by time and separation.
This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation.
On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if
you are truly in love.
