    According to Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of the word “Infatuation” is, “to inspire with foolish or extravagant love or admiration” and “to cause to be foolish: deprive of sound judgment.” This uncontrollable and intense feeling of desire and affection can often engender rash decisions to be made by the infatuate. One’s imagination will run wild and his or her fantasies will interfere with daily life. A young boy in the short story, “Araby,” by James Joyce (61-66), is so incredibly immersed with infatuation for a young girl that his daily life becomes intoxicated with thoughts of her. Likewise, in the short story, “A&P,” by John Updike (18-23), a young boy named Sammy becomes infatuated with three girls, specifically

    Infatuation will be very short-lived on its own, and without the other partner to maintain physical contact or some portion of love, it will die out. Infatuation primarily consists of lust in the beginning, that will fade just as quickly as it started if it is not fueled. Alternatively, love will only deepen with the passage of time and the partnership will only grow stronger (“Infatuation”). Given enough cooperation, a relationship where both partners can rely on each other will form.

    Lust is an incredibly strong feeling that can prove to be almost uncontrollable, leading it to commonly be mistaken for love. Due to the relative closeness of these emotions, both are often confused, and even when one is in love he or she does not recognize it. Many think that love just comes knocking on one's door and one will know when it does, but they don't realize that for love to occur a relationship has must be worked out. Love is described by some as fireworks, tingles, and butterflies in the stomach; but it is lust that can cause these things to happen, and it is these that mark only the beginning of a relationship. After a while, these feelings die out, and this is when the honeymoon period is over; it is from this point on that the relationship will either end or get stronger and eventually lead to true love.

The two feelings are often misunderstood, but are differentiated through their outcomes and stability. True love does not only rely on physical attraction, but also on one’s personality.

The love grows stronger with time and is not instant. On the other hand, infatuation occurs almost instantaneously and progresses quickly. Infatuation relies on lust and physical attraction.

    Love is not usually well defined. People often think that they are in love, but they can�t explain it. There is a great dealing of confusion of the words love, and infatuation. Love may include romance, infatuation, affection and tenderness. But it could be love if one or more of the elements are not present. The definition of love varies from person to person.

  • Being In Love Essay

    I disagree and would argue that being in love and loving someone has two very different meanings. The word love is used too loosely. Loving someone and being in love with someone are two very different things. Although I am not a love master, being only 19 years old and in two serious relationships in my life, I have come to realize being in love is something special. I believe when you are in love it’s not a choice, that person is picked for you. You are addicted to them, you want all your friends and family to love them as much as you do, you are there when they succeed and there when they fail, you miss them every minute you are apart and you unconditionally love them, even when times get hard.

  • The Concept of Love

    667 Words  | 2 Pages

    Love is actually the choice one makes to put someone's wishes, desires and needs above our own. Many people confuse the word "love" with the meaning of the word "want" or "desire." For example, sometimes when a young man tells the woman of his dreams, "I love you", when he means that he "wants" her because of his own selfish desires. He's the one that may feel all excited over her, but in reality he may want her because of her physical appearance, or because of her mentality or her ability to make him feel good or important. Notice his primary motive for pursuing her is based on himself and his desires; not on pleasing her, although he may choose to please her, but that's only based upon the fulfillment of his wants. The same goes for a young woman, when she says to the man of her dreams, "I love you," she in fact means that she "wants" him because of his physical appearance, status, mentality or his ability to make her feel good or important.
