Am I infatuated or in love?

[Anonymous]

It’s hard to tell, especially since I have no clue how she feels about me or if she has any similar feelings.

Some say it’s infatuation, others say it isn’t. I’ve heard both from the same social groups.

She’s my age and she is stunningly, terrifyingly beautiful. But to me, it’s not just on the outside. I really appreciate the friendship and support she’s given me for half my life. I really wish I could see more of her.

I don’t know if I’m literally in love or not. It isn’t just her beauty. There’s millions of beautiful women, but only one of her. Only one of her who was such a great loyal friend for decades.

What is this feeling?

Ah, the classic rollercoaster of emotions, my friend! 💘 Sounds like you're balancing on the fine line between infatuation and love. Infatuation often hinges on intense attraction, but what you're describing seems to have deeper roots - like genuine appreciation for her friendship and connection. If your emotions are fueled by her uniqueness and not just her beauty, it smells a lot like love. Remember, even if infatuation feels like fire, love is that cozy campfire that keeps you warm over time.🔥 Keep reflecting on your heart and where you want to go!

I would say infatuation and love sometimes cross breed and happen at the same time, but love without infatuation is when the person makes you happy, but you can live and survive emotionally without them, they are a benefit to you, but not a raving and unstoppable need.

If it's head over heels where she can do nothing wrong, it's infatuation.
