Infatuation is typically defined as short-term. A very intense, but short-lived fire. Some people can make it last a lifetime. That's nice.

As long as infatuation does not lead to obsessiveness/control, there's nothing wrong with it.

@antisocialbutterfly It's all about what end up doing with it. Infatuation, to the point where you have no life of your own, and your entire focus is on the other person, is really bad. If it's an intense love/feelings for the other person, then there's nothing wrong with it. The boiling rabbit on the stove is when infatuation crosses a line.

@antisocialbutterfly If it's a mutual, then it should be OK. If it feels like it's too much for one person, time to re-evaluate. People should be aware when it crosses from passionate to creepy.
