Think about the time you’re spending with the person you’re seeing. If your relationship is predominantly physical…it’s infatuation Love has depth to it, and it isn’t scared away by problems. If you feel like a crisis would be “too much” for the person to handle, it is likely infatuation. Would you call the person in question? If the answer is yes, and you know you’d be greeted with warm, supportive, comforting gestures, it’s love. Let’s say your car broke down, or you found out a loved one was in the hospital. If you know you could count on them in a crisis…it’s love If the tenor of your relationship is uncertainty, it’s not yet love. You might feel constantly insecure about whether or not they’re going to leave. You might overthink the little things, like what to text them in the middle of a day, when they haven’t texted you yet. If you’re infatuated, you might spend a lot of your time wondering about whether or not they’re super into you or committed to you. Infatuation, on the other hand, is frequently one-sided. If you overthink the relationship, or wonder what they’re feeling…it’s infatuation A lot of clients, who are in love, will tell me they feel like everything is going to be OK when their partner is around. When you’re with them, you truly feel their presence-not like they’re thinking about work, or might be talking to someone else online-and that presence is a comfort. You feel able to open up about your deepest dreams and your darkest fears. With love, you feel completely supported. Love is patient, love is kind…you know the adage. If you feel safe around the person…it’s love But if they wouldn’t be your first call if you had a bad day, or you are afraid of burdening them with a problem, it probably hasn’t evolved into love yet. You might crave to be physically near the person as much as you can. Infatuation is rooted in passion, excitement and lust.
