Know the difference between love and infatuation.

We often see a guy/lady that we feel attracted to at some point in life and go on dates with. Some things that causes us to be attracted to another includes beauty, personality and attitude and these can be termed as infatuation.

What is infatuation? Infatuation is an intense or short lived passion or admiration for someone or something. It is also an obsession with. So take time to know what you are looking for in a relationship.

Examples of infatuation are:

  1. Lust
  2. Sexual desires
  3. Jealousy
  4. Anxiety

Sometimes we go on dates for a month or six months. Dates should be a long term thing or until you get to know the person you are falling for. Sometimes couples ends up in a committed relationship on their first date.  We should never be too quick to announce our partner to our family or friends but be extremely careful that they needs the same thing.

Also we should not be easily manipulated into any relationship with a person because of the way they dress or look. I have heard women on numerous occasions saying that they like a man who is muscular, handsome and tall.  But do we really take the time out to find out the true personality of these persons and what they have to offer in a relationship?  So often we don’t, but this one thing I know for certain is that this kind of relationship doesn’t last always.

Love is a tense feeling of deep affection, warmth, intimacy. It can also be a feeling of security. Love can lead to a long term commitment between two persons.  Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfections.

When you love someone you must respect and treat them right. Love is giving your all and not looking back for nothing in return. Love forgives quickly and doesn’t hurt.

Signs of true love are:

  1. Happiness
  2. Keeping promises
  3. Feeling secured
  4. Connection to that person
  5. Caring
  6. trust

So sisters and brothers know the difference between infatuation and love. Don’t fall for someone because of their physical appearance.
