When a person is infatuated with another person, it is seen as more of a brief or short-lived period. It is commonly associated with lust and obsession because of the selfishness behind feelings of infatuation. It is more like an adrenaline rush of feelings instead of something more sustainable such as a crush or genuinely being in love. When you have a crush, it could also be known as puppy love or young love, but it doesn’t always have to refer to someone young in age. It is most often the beginning of a relationship when you first start to develop feelings for another person, who will eventually grow into love if the feelings remain.
