Best Answer

Infatuation would be a foolish or extravagant passion. Love is more a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection.

-x-

When you're infatuated with someone, it's more of a curiosity in or with someone. They're like a game - trying to figure them out and messing around with each others' emotion. However, it's not that strong and it's more of a 'what if?' relationship, and you'd get over it quickly if the two of you broke up or something.

Being in love, however, it's a very, very deep emotion that doesn't go away very quickly. You have a hard time getting them out of your head, you'd die for them, whenever you do something you think of how the one you love would feel or reaction/how it'd affect them, etc.

How do you fall in love without losing yourself?

This is a little easier to answer than it first appears. If you are losing yourself, you are not falling in love. You are either in the throes of infatuation, or, if this is a long-term pattern in relationships, there may be a tendency toward co-dependence. If you are infatuated, welcome to the club; virtually everyone goes through it in the first stanges of a relationship. Infatuation can last anywhere from a few months to as long as 3-5 years; rarely it can last 7 years. If you have a tendency toward co-dependence, then you might want to consider heavy-duty help. Intensity of co-dependence varies a great deal, and I'm not suggesting that it is always an extremely serious mental health issue. But it IS a persistent issue and takes some motivated effort to overcome. You aren't loving someone else if you find yourself defining your existence around the other person. You might think of that approach as serving your own need to be needed as much more important than the two persons involved. A deeper love that includes a willing commitment to partner with another, even when the going gets tough, involves two people who have a clear and healthy sense of their own identity and the free choices that they make.

No, a lot of couples start their love life by that one aspect of infatuation. But the real deal is that infatuation is just an attraction to what that person smells, looks, or sounds like. But true love is having a deep connection to the person you are w/ not just b/c you think you love them, but b/c you do love them.
