We all have been in every four stages or at least two, but the question which comes to mind often is how to differentiate between the four. So i tried to experience all four of them and now i will be discussing my experience and the basic difference between the four..
1. Crush- Ah! I can see that smile on your face, we all have experienced this one stage once in our lifetime and many of us have experienced it more than 3-4 times. Basically, it means liking , a desire to be with someone no matter what. We might not have relationship with that person but longing is there. But generally lifespan of a crush is maximum 2-3 months that is what i think! It is usually for the person we can't attain.
2. Infatuation- Now infatuation is a temporary love or intense feeling of liking but just for a brief period. In this situation one believes that he/she is in love but actually they are not. The person experiencing infatuation becomes selfish, he/she wants the individual so much that it can take them to any extent to get them. It can be in the form of lust or obsession or both.
3. Attraction- One falls in attraction because of some quality whether it may be appeal,beauty or good characteristic quality. '' I am attracted towards you" means i am attracted towards the quality you possess.It is something which evokes interest.
4. Love- I don't think that anyone can define love. Its a selfless attachment which never goes away just increases with time. When we are in love we accept that person the way he/she is without making any change to them, its unconditional there is no condition of loving back. There are no expectations no demands in love because when someone is in love he/she is so intensely into that feeling that they cannot see and feel anything except the feeling of love they are experiencing. We are automatically on happy mode when we fall in love despite of the fact that the other person doesn't loves us back, it obviously hurts but the feeling of love is much above than the pain!
Crush is cute, even a married or seriously committed person may have crush but it usually fades away, its very normal. Infatuation may become dangerous, if the longing becomes unbearable it may harm someone. Attraction is something which is possessed by everyone, we may be attracted to some place, person or thing. But love is above everything, it just makes us more beautiful more positive and more happier than ever!!

I think Crush has the best feeling. It don't last for a long time generally, But the feeling is just can't explain in words.

i agree on crush and attraction but in my opinion infatuation is kind of obsession and even if it turns into love it won't last for long!
