For me, infatuation is when you admire someone because of his physical appearance, talent, good personality and all that. It might vanish in a second once you meet other people that has the same or better qualities. Love is unexplainable. You love the person because you just do. Also, love is about that person's happiness. You would do everything to make him happy even if it means you're not part of it. Love is not selfish. You love without expecting to be loved back. That's what love is for me.

Well when you can't go one min without that someone, you can't manager to do things without that special one, and you help it but smile when that special one is you get a call or hear there voice then your in love, hopefully that special someone feels the same that you do.... thats true love, you can't live without that special one

this is a biggie, well usualy if your infactuated with someone you are not with the person and maybe never will be you just long to be there mate or boyfriedn or girlfriend.. and if your in love , it will be a two way street and both partys feel the same way and if you really love someone you treat them well and if they really ,love you they treat you with love back.. so if you not getting love back then there is a problem.. take care

What I can say is infatuation is mostly physical attraction,while true love looks at good qualities of a person.The main difference is;infatuation can make you the worst person you can but true love can bring out the best in you.

If you're infatuated, you will feel like you're so in love with the
person but as time goes by, your feelings will fade so if the feelings
doesn't stand the test of time, it's just infatuation. Also, if you
feel in love but the truth is that you cannot accept everything about
one person, that's just infatuation. It's true love if you really care
about what's good for that person. If you truly care about him/her, if
you have been in love with him/her for many years and still feels in love
and accepts everything and every consequence of loving him/her, that's real love.

I feel there is a thin dividing line between infatuation and true love.Both appear to be the same,but actually they are slightly different from each other.True love does not expect anything in return,but infatuation does.I would like to explain my point through an example.You love your mother and she is very beautiful.You love her not because she is beautiful,but because she is your mother.Your love for her does not depend on her beauty.Even if her beauty gets spoiled and she becomes ugly,your love for her would not be less.
I think,this is the difference between infatuation and true love.

For me, you are infatuated to a person you really admires. You admire him/her because of his/her GOOD QUALITIES and for that, you wanted to spend your life with him/her. But if you see his/her BAD side, you got discouraged, that's Infatuation.
It is LOVE if inspite those BAD QUALITIES you discovered, you still want to spend your life with him/her.
