Well lets see what the dictionary says :P

infatuation: to inspire with a foolish or extravagant love or admiration

Love: strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties, warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.

I belive shini said it the best.

Infatuation: Wanting some one but never doing anything about it *lusting, u want them, but they do not know since u never tell them*, loving the idea of being with them but again not doing anything.

Love: You sorta just know when your in love. Those who havent experianced it wont know what i mean, but when ur in true love, u have a very very strong affection for them, your heart flutters, you melt when they smile at you, when they hug you, when they kiss you, the most important thing to realize, and i belive is the main difference is this:

In infatuation you have feelings for them, thats it.

In love..you have feelings for them, and they share the same feelings back with the same strength and passion that you do.

woah, that's a really good explanation. I guess I'm in infatuation...
