Question

Love or just major infatuation? how can you tell if its the real thing?

Answer 1

Time, as you get to know the person much better with experience, you will know if it is real. Infatuation I believe is the desire to be with a person before you really get to know them. As you get to know them over time, it either turns real, or just fades because it was infatuation and you now find things about the person that really do not work for you. So, give it time, that sheds light on all situations and people and either makes or breaks it so to speak. Good luck.

Answer 2

You will know love when you feel it, there is no question of it.  Since you have to question your feelings it is probably just lust.

Answer 3

Well if it is love you should not have to question yourself, you should just know.  

Answer 4

Love is real.  Infatuation is fake.  Love lasts.  Infatuation doesn't.  Defined Love is a deep and tender feeling of affection for another. Infactuation is foolish or shallow love or affection.

You know when it is the real thing.  Love is reciprocated.  It is like a pendulum.  It is like a magnetic force, that when you are together you do not ever want to be apart.  When you are in separate places, you cannot wait to be together.

Answer 5

it's hard, almost the same.. but they say love stays and infatuation fades...
