  1. Is it Love or Infatuation?

  2. TEST # 1 TIME • Love grows, and all growth requires time. • Infatuation may come suddenly. 

  3. TEST #2 KNOWLEDGE • Love grows out of an appraisal of all the known characteristics of the other person. • Infatuation may arise from an acquaintance with only a few or only one of these characteristics.

  4. TEST #3 FOCUS • Love is other-person-centered. It is outgoing. It results in sharing. • Infatuation is self-centered.

  5. TEST #4 SINGULARITY Genuine love is centered on one person only. An infatuated individual may be in love with two or more persons at the same time.

  6. TEST #5 SECURITY • An individual in love tends to have a sense of security and a feeling of trust after knowing the person. • An infatuated individual tends to have a blind sense of security based upon wishful thinking, or he may have a sense of insecurity that is sometimes expressed as jealousy.

  7. TEST #6 PROBLEM SOLVING • A couple in love faces problems frankly and attempts to solve them. • In infatuation, problems tend to be disregarded or glossed over.

  8. TEST #7PHYSICAL ATTRACTION and INVOLVEMENT • Physical attraction is a relatively smaller part of their total relationship when a couple is in love. It tends to express what they feel toward each other. • In infatuation, physical contact tends to be an end in itself. It represents only pleasurable experience devoid of meaning.

  9. TEST #8 STABILITY • Love tends to endure. • Infatuation may change suddenly, unpredictably.
