Are You In Love, Lust Or Simply Infatuated? Differences Among Them by HeWrites(m): 9:15am On Sep 09, 2018

They (love, lust and infatuation) all look alike at the beginning but soon show their actual colour.

You need to know as early as possible what you are feeling for the opposite sex to either back out on time before you do something stupid or pursue your object of attention with vigour!

Here is the difference.

1. LOVE begins with an attraction, a special feeling for someone. You like them, admire them, respect them and likes to spend time with them.

INFATUATION begins with a strong, intense feeling for someone that focuses basically on physical attributes like her blue eyes, his well-chiselled Jaw or her curvy body. It is called “falling head over heels in love” because of the whirlwind feelings that come with it. It focuses more on the physical than lasting attributes.

LUST: Begins with a strong, intense feeling of strong sexual desire.

2. LOVE focuses on giving and how to make the life of this person better without seeking anything in return.

INFATUATION focuses on giving unreasonably as a bait to get “love” and a relationship in return.

LUST focuses on giving to get sex in return. After the sex, it focuses on taking and taking.

3. LOVE waits for sex: it controls its sexual feelings till the wedding night.

INFATUATION always desire and yearn for sex.

LUST is impatient for sex. It can’t wait to have sex. It asks for sex as soon as possible.

4. LOVE makes sacrifices to help the other person achieve greatness.

INFATUATION can make sacrifices, but it must get something in return.

LUST can also make sacrifices, but it must get sex in return.


5. LOVE sticks with you regardless of the problem you face.
INFATUATION runs away at the sight of problems.

LUST create problems for you and disappears into thin air!
6. LOVE admires the person’s total package: character, beauty, handsomeness, spirituality, weaknesses, and strength.

INFATUATION only focuses on beauty/physical attraction and strengths. It despises them for their weaknesses.
LUST focuses on the body alone.

7. LOVE is rational, down to earth honest and truthful to the other person.

INFATUATION is irrational, very emotional, pretends a lot and do uncomfortable things always to get acceptance from their partner. E.g., she bleaches her skin to get him to like her more. He steals or borrows an unreasonable amount of money to buy her things so she can keep “loving” him.

LUST pretends and lies a lot to get sex.

What I got from this thread is that men are incapable of love because they always want sex.

Lol at blinded cheesy . Love doesn't blind you, It helps to overlook flaws. Lust and infatuation blind not love.

The fact that one is capable of love shows the possibility of others falling in love too. Men love sex no doubt, but there is a certain stage in their lives where they want more than sex. They look beyond the physical attributes of a woman to seek a place in her heart. Men want love too.

That said, This mentality of yours is why men will only seek for sex from you, because you will only offer what you think they want/need (sex). And that is the biggest misconception women have of Men.

Most time Temptation leads to Lust.


Discontentment leads to Infatuation.

As for love, it is what it is.

Sounds like blindness to me. Also do you think when they say love is blind they actually mean you can't see? No! it's metaphoric. It means overlooking flaws... etc everything you mentioned above.

Lol I know it's metaphor. Love overlook flaws, lust/infatuation does not see flaws. It only focus on what it sees (attractive features).

We can go on and go, but to what use? grin
