Love is an amazing experience that makes you accept a person completely and love him/her wholeheartedly.You share your life happenings with the person;attributes like trust,care,concern,honesty and a lot more gets enhanced. It's more than anyone can ever explain.It is permanent.It makes you serious with someone and makes you stay with someone forever and it usually grows with time.
Infatuation,on the other hand,is a feeling that I'm in love when I in reality am not.It makes you confuse with love because of which many a times we tend to be with someone and tend to make mistakes by acting serious and making commitments that are temporary.Here, lust is the most dominant or the sole acting factor.Infatuation is usually temporary but can last up-to 3 years so be careful.
Never confuse love with infatuation and vice-versa. Be very sure about your feelings for someone and then only take a step in getting into a relationship or in becoming serious with someone.

I know what Love is and what is infatuation... I have that thing called love and it's a wonderful feeling and terrible at the same time. Infatuation doesn't last that long... It's just like having a crush.

At the beginning of a relationship sometimes it's hard to tell between love and infatuation

If you really think about it. Infatuation is where everything starts. I mean, how can you truly love a person if you were not infatuated by that person in various areas? The important thing is, people subconsciously evolve infatuation to love. As love starts, regardless of the physical attraction, the relationship stays together because of the other factors. Kudos~!
