The topic of love, lust and infatuation is one that have attracted discussions from both young old over time. A lot of young people still don't know when they are being infatuated, lusting or in love. The result is heart breaks, societal instability through relationship and marital failures, and other accompanying social ills. While some people argue that one leads to another and then to the other, some see these three as entire different.
Janet Zimmerman once wrote:
Lust is a physical emotion and reaction to someone else's physical appearance. It's when you're sexually attracted to a guy and want him only for sex. Lust tends to be short-lived and is more about immediate
gratification. If it's just lust, you will have sex in the
heat of the moment and only feel physically fulfilled.
Infatuation is an intense feeling. It happens when
you are attracted to a guy's appearance or attracted
to him sexually. Infatuation happens early on and
tends to become obsessive. When you're infatuated,
you see him through rose-colored glasses based on
who you imagine him to be. You have put him on a
pedestal and don't acknowledge him for who he
really is — good or bad. You may behave irrationally,
become caught up in your feelings of what you think
love is and aren't living in reality.
Lust and infatuation are usually fleeting and short-
lived and don't tend to turn into love. When you are
in love, you will have intense feelings for a guy, and
be attracted and connected to him on the level of
mind, body and soul.
She went further to state the attributes of love as follow.
That love is
-a feeling
-an inside job
-a way of being
-a choice.
"We love with our hearts, but we first lust with our eyes"
As the popular saying goes: What the eyes doesn't behold, the heart doesn't grieve about. What's your opinion? Do you think these three are entirely different? or do you think one can lead to another? Most importantly, can someone fall in love without first lusting?

I think so too

Apt explanation

Love is when you want to spend every minute together.

Lust is when you want to spend every possible minute together, in bed.

Infatuation is when you think you just won't survive without spending every minute together.

Enegod:
Love is when you want to spend every minute together.

Lust is when you want to spend every possible minute together, in bed.

Infatuation is when you think you just won't survive without spending every minute together.

So there is a relationship between them after all. Let's see what others think.

sorry for the iya's

from this explanation I've been infatuated and never in love

I think once you're in love then infatuation and lust are healthy but without love lust and infatuation burn out. I don't think lust and infatuation can lead to love. Lust is only the connection of the body. Infatuation is only in ones mind and love brings them all together and completes the union. My 2p
