LOVE OR INFATUATION ........?

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but genuinely unhappy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. They might spoil the dream. Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy. Infatuation lacks of confidence. When he or she's away, you wonder if he or she's cheating. Sometimes you even check. Infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows one day at a time. Love is quiet understanding and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not seperate you. You want him or her nearer but near or far, you know he or she is yours and you can wait. Love says, "Be patient.Don't panic. He or she is yours. Plan your future with confidence". Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers. Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He or she feels that trust, and it makes him or her even more trustworthy. Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before. --YOU MUST BE FRIENDS BEFORE YOU CAN BE LOVERS.
