[color=#006600][/color] hi its me again with another love story. love or infactuation! you know i have been wondering wat this two is really about., is love infactuation? or is infactuation love? so many people confuse these two things together. take for example in my final year in the college i dated three chics, ask me why, because i thought , i really love them but only for the likings i have for them to deteriorate after sometime and you know it was already to late as i hv already browsed her (u knw wat i mean ). so pls tell me how do you differentiat e between love and infactuation

Infactuation is a feeling. Love is a philosophy. If you find yourself wanting to make someone happy because of some reason like "she's a good person and deserves nice things" and not because "she gives me a boner", then you probably love her. Dude, you love your immediate family in the same way you can love a woman. The concept doesn't change just because you can have sex with her. That's just an added bonus in a sexual relationship. Good lord. I am giving advice and I have zero experience. Screw what I think.

the word is [b]infat[/b]uation. @topic

I have also been grappling with this subject!! I asked my mom because her and my dad have been married for 25 years and they have a good relationship. Every since I was in my teens I have always hoped that the relationship I have with my husband (when I am married) would be like that of my parents.

The way my mom explained the difference was infatuation is when u just know a little bit about a person and you like it and want them to be something so you fill in the blanks with what u want them to be. Whereas love is where you see the person for who they really are and you accept that and are happy because you want them to be themselves.

I hope that makes sense and is not more confusing!!!

Nice one Kattrina,ur mum must be rite.

I have 'fallen in love' with three guys in my lifetime already. I have this one and I am so scared that I may fall out of love with him soon because I am not sure if it's love or infatuation. Someone please tell me it's love this time!

Why are you so scared to fall out of love this time around?  You said it's happend to you thrice before.  I can't imagine it would be any different from your experience before.

katrina, maybe you're a sucker for romance, and it causes your mind to think you're in love

@kobe~ I am a sucker for romance, but I am aware of that. Plus I think the remark you directed at me was meant for berrye.

@topic~ I did a google search for more information and there are a couple good sites. I think. I am still grappling with my feelings.

No worries kobe. I was just checking cuz it confused me, of course it does not take much to confuse me. LOL
