This guy has liked me for 5 years. Is he falling in lust or infatuation?

[Anonymous]

He's older (like 17/18, i'm 15), but he stares at me all the time. He dated one other girls along time ago (when I was 12/13) , but he hasn't been dated other girls. He goes to a college known for it's music and beautiful girls. Yet he comes home and can't stop smiling and staring at me. When he walks into a room he'll look deep into my eyes and not look away for a while. He won't smile or say a word. Then sometimes he looks away when i look at him and blushes. Yet when we have to talk he can't look me in my eyes. If we're around his friends he stares at me and smiles like crazy. Is he falling in lust or infatuation?

I've liked a guy/girl for years, i was infatuated.

I liked a guy/girl for years, it was lust. ;P

I will admit it. Yes, I am flattered. He’s goodlooking and has many options. My parents know about it (all the boys, he’s not the only one) and they advise me to wait. So if anything were to happen, it would have to be when we’re older. The reason why I might seem giddy (although I’m not; like I said it’s been years) is because my grandmother wants me to date him, my mom says I should be nice because “You never know.” So yeah.

They are sort of the same thing... Let me point out the age difference. There is no problem with age difference, in your twenties, but you are in high school and he's in college. You have not experienced much relationships or life yet and just probably feel good when an older guy looks at you. If he go nears you that would be really weird and be considered rape. At fifteen, you are very much still a baby. Calm down and don't do anything you will regret later.

It lust,, there does not exist such thing as love in this world

[Asker]

Aw I disagree. If there was no love, no one would be happy.

[Cowboy6666]

I said in your case... It's greed of fuck... No love...

[Asker]

Oh ok. I didn't think it was real love, I just was talking about life period. :D

[inlovewithyou2014]

I dis agree as well im very much in love, and he's 18 im 15! And I've loved him since he was 14, I love making him smile, and I love they way he looks at me!! I've considered suicide many times before but I always stop and think of how badly it would hurt him, he's a complete sweetheartand you'd agree if you knew him.

99% guys today seek sex in girls,,,, nothing else,,, plus some dude seek wealth

[Asker]

@inlovewithyou I think it can be a combo of both love and sex
lust is just wanting someone for sex
infatuation is if you could have all the sex u wanted with that person, you would want to know them.

They are the same thing. Lust is infa... eh fucking.

[Asker]

Lol. True... kinda. I like another guy for years and I would enjoy being fucked but I also wouldn't mind if we just spend time together. So I don't know

It sucks, but it's probably lust.
