How do you check yourself if you're infatuated or in love?

I have read something general about infatuation and love. I read that infatuation is when: - the nature of attraction is physical - it's about the physical contact - the romance developed fast, hours or days - there are high and lows - it keeps you consumed - it has destructive effect on you - the relationship ends fast - you ignore realities Whereas love: - you are attracted to the total personality - you control physical contact - the romance evolved slowly, it took time to grow - it doesn't have a destructive effect on you - you are more realistic - motivates you to be better - works through distance I never really gave these much thought when I'm attracted to another person. Do you check yourself if you're just feeling infatuation or love? How sure are you that it's what you feel? So does this bring us to the conclusion that love at first sight isn't really love? Hmmm..
