The infatuation comes first since you cannot have a fling or true love without being infatuated on the first place. You must somehow like the person one way or the other before you can consummate a fling or a relationship based on love or any other thing.

I think you are right. But sometimes you fall in love the instant you were infatuated by another person. So does this mean that sometimes true love and infatuation happens simultaneously?

You are always attracted first. You cannot be in love right away. Love takes time buddy.

Some people fall in love with their childhood sweethearts. Some even marry them. So do you think that infatuation can sometimes be also your true love at the same moment? There's a saying that says: "Love at first sight". Do you believe in this?

love - love
true love is when you wake up one day realizing that you wanna be with that person for the rest of your life. that you will feel empty without him. and that you'll be forever in sorrow if you can't have that person forever. infatuation-- when you are just admiring someone but you don't feel strong emotions for that person. fling-- is when you just wanna be near that person but you are not prepared to have a commitment with him/her hope i was able to help. take care.

I know I felt true love when I met the man I married. There was no doubt in my mind he was the one and I would wait as long as I had to for him...(3years later we got married).

I think you are right. But is it possible to love someone at the same time right away? Can Infatuation sometimes be also called love?

Infatuation is the attraction which comes in your thought because of your state of mind.If you really didnt sought for , then you wont be attracted and if you inherently possesive, then you will be succombed to that so called infatuation and it doesnt lost long because you cant be in a same state of mind..But when you say true love , you believe my word or not , it is fate.You never intend to lose someone, but we lose and the same way you never been attrated by someone in the beginning, but fate makes you to think about that person , which you would be calling true love as you can live without that feeling.

Honestly, you won't realize or categorize it until you're in it. You won't know what kind of boat you're going to board unless you are already on it. Once you're in the relationship, you'll definitely know if it's just an infatuation if you only like the person just because of a particular asset. He/she is just a fling if you only like the person because of his/her company. You'll find true love when you like the person for everything he/she is. Hope I made sense =)

its quite easy to distinguish these three mate. you know its true love when you get really hurt when your partner offends you, you feel jealous when she talks to other guys etc. its infatuation if your feeling for her wears down each day untill its zilch. its fling when all you want to do is get into bed with her.
