Infatuation is loving the idea that you're in love. Being infatuated doesn't mean you have fallen in love but it's a mere illusion in your mind... Love is when you can actually sacrifice yourself for that person....
Infatuation is fleeting and often mistaken as love. Doesn't mean it can't lead to love, but infatuation is more of an illusion without the substance.

I agree with both of you. It's just projection of one's illusions and hopes on a random person who fits their idea of perfection. It doesn't have to turn into obsession even though occasionally it does. Sometimes it dies a quick death after you open your eyes and see the real person; sometimes it may grow into love, but that's just the luck of the draw, not because a conscious choice has been made beforehand. I particularly resent hearing endless advice from people whose relationships have been started the same way, but just happened to be successful.
