naughty said:.... Have you ever been blindsided by one thinking it was the other? Is there such a thing as "love at first sight?"
Riven650 said:My take on this, Naughty, is that love is a two way thing, but infatuation is one way. ie. You can't 'love' someone who isn't aware of your existance (film star, etc.). That's infatuation. Being crazy about someone who knows you but doesn't feel that way about you is also infatuation. Love is when you feel the same powerful affection for each other.
naughty said:Or ,
the two people could love one another in two different ways. Or with different degrees of intensity. I hate when that happens... LOL!
naughty said:Riven,
I think what you described was unrequited love. But that does not mean that it is not legit. Just not reciprocated.... Read this I think it says it all...
Here is a poem by the great "Black Russian" poet ,Alexander Pushkin which really moved me to tears recently: I loved you, I love you still too much. But forget this love that pressed sadly against your will. I loved you in silence Without hope, but true, Jealous , afraid. I pray that someone May love you again the same way...

Infatuation sounds more like an unhealthy intense desire for somebody . . like you can't get enough of them, can't leave them alone.naughty said:Hi,
They say love is blind... What is love and what is infatuation. Have you ever been blindsided by one thinking it was the other? Is there such a thing as "love at first sight?"

stud_hunter said:Lust as first sight for sure! Love at first sight, well call me a skeptic but I say no. I don't think a person can really feel love after 10 seconds, or even 10 minutes.
Wonderboy said:Love would be adoration that doesn't require sex.
Infatuation would always hopefully lead to sex, or at least that is the main thought an infatuated person would have...in my experience.
