Lust is a physical emotion and reaction to someone
else's physical appearance. It's when you're
sexually attracted to a guy and want him only for
sex . Lust tends to be short-lived and is more
about immediate gratification. If it's just lust,
you will have sex in the heat of the moment and
only feel physically fulfilled.


Infatuation is an intense feeling. It happens when
you are attracted to a guy's appearance or
attracted to him sexually. Infatuation happens
early on and tends to become obsessive. When
you're infatuated, you see him through rose-
colored glasses based on who you imagine him to
be. You have put him on a pedestal and don't
acknowledge him for who he really is — good or
bad. You may behave irrationally, become caught
up in your feelings of what you think love is and
aren't living in reality.
The intensity of feelings that come with lusting
after someone or being infatuated may cause you
to think you're in love. When the guy you're
lusting after or are infatuated with doesn't feel
the same way, disappointment and heartache
ensue. As a result, these lustful and infatuation
experiences that don't work out, will cause you to
believe, "Love is hard, painful and uncertain." The
reality is love isn't any of these things. If you're
experiencing love to be hard, painful and
uncertain, and asking, " Am I in love ?", you are
not in love.


Lust and infatuation are usually fleeting and
short-lived and don't tend to turn into love. When
you are in love, you will have intense feelings for
a guy, and be attracted and connected to him on
the level of mind, body and soul. Here is my
perception and experience of love.


Love is a feeling . Feelings are the most common
way that people learn about and experience love.
When it is truly love, you will feel good about
yourself when you're with and without him. As a
result, you will also feel good about him. Since
you're only human, sometimes you may not feel so
good about yourself or him. This doesn't mean it's
not love. It just means that things are ebbing, and
change and growth are taking place.
Love is an inside job . We tend to look for love
from someone else, not realizing that love is
actually within. Love is about loving yourself first
so that you are whole and not looking for someone
else to complete you. The quality of your love life
is a direct reflection on how much (or little) you
care for and love yourself. The more you love
yourself, the more you attract a guy who will love
you just as much.


Love is a way of being . Love is experienced in the
present moment. When you are present, negative
thoughts and feelings fall away, making space for
gratitude, kindness and loving energy. Being
present with your partner lets you see him
through fresh eyes and keeps you in love. Being
present helps you express yourself more openly,
building a deeper connection.


Love is a choice . It's easy to choose love when
things are going really well. And when insecurities
and fears come up, choosing love is where your
greatest growth happens. Love is choosing we over
me, unless you're in an abusive relationship. It's
being considerate of your partner and making
choices for the greater good of your relationship.


Love is built on a strong foundation . Building a
strong foundation of love happens by being the
best version of you, taking the time to learn
about each other, appreciating and accepting each
other's qualities, quirks and differences, being
there through thick and thin, resolving
differences in a respectful manner and letting
him be who he is without trying to change him.
