Love means that what you feel for each other will never go away no matter where you are. Love means that your partner knows that you are not perfect and can accept that. The love you two have for each other will mean more than any flaws you exhibit. We are giving our partners a superficial self in fear that they will leave us and our illusion will be shattered. This can mean only telling our partners the good thing about our day or going to extremes to look perfect all the time like wearing too much makeup to hide blemishes or even plastic surgery. We want the illusion that we created to stick. While infatuation makes us only see the good in our partner, it also means giving our partner’s a perfect image of ourselves. Infatuation Makes Us Want Self Perfection You will always be beautiful to that person. If someone really loved you, they would not care how you look because they love you too much. We will either lose our hair or it will go grey, we will gain weight, get wrinkles, loose joints, etc. It is the same as we get older as we are not going to look the same as when we met our significant other. Our partner has seen how we look without makeup or with our bed hair when we wake up. We also reveal our true selves in the way we look. We feel comfortable in exposing memories that may be embarrassing or hard to talk about. Love is all about being comfortable in revealing your true self. The reality of a true partner is seeing all of their imperfections and loving them anyway.

If we see any imperfections in our partner, it will destroy the illusion we placed on our partners that made us happy. In reality, people have a lot of sides and you cannot choose which ones you would prefer to make an appearance.

In our minds, they must always look beautiful, be strong, agreeable, courageous, and exhibit no blemishes. You think that because they look attractive, it means their personality will be the same way. When you first look at your love interest, you already believe they are perfect without knowing them. You love them on a good day and you like them on a bad day. Love is seeing into the person’s humanity like where their strengths and weaknesses lie. It may take a few dates to realize that you are in love. Love requires meeting someone for the first time and not knowing what to expect. Everyone is different in how long it takes to fall in love. Love, on the other hand, can take more time to get to that stage. Love is a Reality That Takes Timeīeing infatuated is an instant crush on someone that you see for the first time. Infatuation is automatically filling in the blanks for that person and hoping that things will work out the way you want. You already believe that things are going to work out for the both of you based on appearances only. As soon as you see this person, you are already fantasizing about your future together without knowing anything about them. This is a very quick attraction that feels like it hits you over the head. You do not know anything about the person that you are attracted to. Infatuation is a Fast Fantasyīeing infatuated with someone requires no thinking. By knowing the difference between being infatuated with someone and loving them, you will know if you are with the right person. Infatuation is when you first see someone that you are attracted to and immediately feel there is a connection based on that whereas love is knowing the good and bad of someone and still loving them all the same. There is a very big difference between infatuation and being in love.
