      if everyone were allowed to fulfill their infatuations then lasting impressions would case to matter and world will be a better place ? :-)

   I would consider love a growth and expansion of infatuation, not a different thing. As it's a bigger, better version, how could it be worse?

      Just like a loaded windows OS is slow and requires better hardware to support, so does love come with "responsibility".. you might think of proposing marriage, or have kids etc. How is it better? It is the beginning of the downhill journey... ?

      But the infatuation doesn't go away, or at least it doesn't have to. It's like Voltron - you add kids and pets and a house, but you're still just a weenie in a spandex suit. Wait--that didn't come out quite right.

      Sorry, I dont know what "Voltron" is, except my project manager has chosen this name for our builds
      And what's a spandex suit?
      And what ought to have come out right?
      I mean, I didn't follow what you said (excuse me)
      But think about it - infatuation that's fulfilled and is continuing, seems soo much better, satisfying, like a never ending good dream

      Okay, you have these people:
      
      who drive robot cats who hook together to make a huge robot:
      
      that kicks the butts of various monsters and other robots that the cats couldn't beat on their own.
      
      And, no, I didn't have these pictures on my computer. They were surprisingly easy to find, though. Any BCers who had the slightest shred of a doubt of my geekiness have now been disabused of their delusions.

   Wanting someone from the core of your being? Are you serious? Infatuation is shallow and not true happiness. It's like craving for chocolate cake, then eating it, and eating it, and getting a stomach ache and not wondering why you wanted it so bad in the first place. Yeah, that's true happiness if I've ever known it.

      Yeah, that would be called love, not infatuation.

      as an aside, I wonder why people always say they "love" chocolate cake, and never "I am infatuated with chocolate cake"

   in my humble view, infatuation is just the surface while love grows from the inside out. infatuation flames quickly and dies out fast but love burns steady and strong and lights up more than a minute or two

   Love is truly having someone inside of you, as a part of you. Infatuation is more a happy, go-lucky sugar and candy expression of enthusiasm, usually for what someone can do for you. It doesn't define you the way love does, and is to love of others as pride or narcissism is to love of self. Without honor, lawless, irresponsible, and often at expense of the other person instead of for them. If you're a reasonably good person, infatuation could grow in to love as someone is more involved in your life, but there is no guarantee and love can also grow out of respect, friendship, and many other sources.

      Having another whole person inside me would be very uncomfortable. There's hardly enough room for myself.

      But it doesn't always. You'll just have to make it in to plum jam before it goes sour.

      Besides, plum jam is a woeful substitute.

      @cT: Most, though I really don't think most marriages were ever built on love, and I have heard stories of the other.

    is "the core of your being" a euphemism for the gonadal organs?

       Interesting qs.. (provided 'gonadal organs' means what I am inclined to assume them to be)
       But really mean, you can't rest in peace without having whatever you crave for..

    It's also possible to be in love with the person you're infatuated with. Then you have the best of both worlds.

    infactuation is equivelant to a sweet piece of candy, its tasty but short lived and leaves you wanting more. Love is like the whole meal (with dessert included)
