text: how can one tell if it's infatuation or love? i've been in love before but its different with each person. im seeing this new guy and we think about each other all day long, he sings to me, we cuddle, i feel secure in his arms, we talk on the phone for hours at a time when we cant see each other, etc. infatuation, you think about the person a lot like all the time every second but you dont really care if he's doing fine or not - and u kinda think he'll always be ok and theres nothing to worry about.  love, you think about the person most times and u really genuinely care how he is doing...hows things at work for him, his family affairs, his health etc.
