People will say your infatuated when.....what?

 

how long does it last to still be considered infatuation?

 

Is it possible to say someone has been infatuated for yearz or is that on a different level...maybe love?

Sure, infatuation can last for years. And, yes, it can turn into love -- but only with a greater knowledge of the persona and increased mutuality of connection.

 

Infatuation tends to be a more surface attraction to another person. It's idealizing, eroticizing, thrilling. But, it's not quite the same as knowing someone in their depths, accepting them completely, and valuing them as they are -- rather than for how they make you feel. Love's grounded in shared experiences that matter deeply to both people and mutual dependency, about reciprocation and shared appreciation over time.
