reader, anonymous, writes (15 August 2006): a crush is when you attractive to a person or you having a little bit feeling to a person.like what happen to me since i was in elementary, i got crush on him over four years. but its stop when i was in highschool na.since i was in highschool another person ive got crushed, it usually took four years again.
infatuation is when you got admire to a person or just because of his/her physical outlook, but its isnt take too long.for example, theres a new student, talented person,a handsome guy and then youve got a little bit feelings like you attractive to him, then one day your feelings for him was gone already.
real love is when you have a strong feelings to a person.Youll never know when it comes,some people say that love is blind.other say that love is nice.beacause you can share to him/her all your problems or all your heartaches for the few years.for example you have a boyfriend and he has a pastlife of his girlfriend.he told you everything of his life.and then one day youll know that his actually dating with his ex-gf in the park, and that time is your fifth aniversary

Its easy, when you truly love someone you will see past the fact that they dont have a perfect, make up painted face, perfect neat hair, beautifully pressed clothes etc etc. True love goes beyond physical natural beauty, if you lust or have a crush on someone it is usually because they are pleasing to the eye, I may see a gorgeous guy and think "wow" hes FIT!!! But I dont necessarily love hime because I dont know his true personality, his beliefs, his chracter etc etc.
Crushes and infatuations eventually fade away but true love surpasses bad times, off days, "unpretty" days etc. xXx

I have thought long and hard on this one, and IMHO there is no immediate answer - only time can tell if you will still fancy and love the 'significant other' when he has gone bald, grown a pot belly, and lost all his/(her) teeth!!
For sure, a 'crush' to me, can go on for some considerable time, and does not only afflict the young and inexperienced. I personally had a huge crush on my husband's friend (which no-one knew about as I would never have acted on it)!! - And I have moved on and still wonder why I felt that way about him, as he was no oil painting, just a really nice guy! So, SO glad I did nothing about it!!
I think you know when you are in love when - as in my case, - you think about him the moment you wake up and when you go to bed at night. No matter how busy you are, you want to make him happy. You miss them when they are not around, even when you are having a whale of a time with your friends. When you can't really function on full charge until you know they feel the same way too. And when, even after they have done something very wrong, and hurt you - you can find it in your heart to forgive them, put it behind you, and move on. (Not that I am in any way a doormat!) That is when I knew that there will not be anyone else for me. That is love, to me..
And as for infatuation, I think all infatuation begins as a physical WOW!! There's GORGEOUS!! But you will know it for what it is when it fizzles out after the initial 'buss' wears off, and you move on, till next time!!
I hope I have gone some way to clarifying this one for you, - and not confused you further! :o)
