Ever interacted with someone and felt like the other person was the one?
Well, be careful as it might be infatuation.
According to life coach, Benjamin Zulu erotic love has been sung about and people are made to believe it is the most important yet it's not.
Below are important questions one should ask themselves to be able to differentiate whether you are in love
Does the person want you for long?
Infatuation isn't long-lasting, it only lasts as long as the feelings are appeased.
Love lasts longer, it sticks around through the bad and the good.
The solution is to practice being real. Understanding the other person's goal is important.
You can both be in love but not everyone wants to get married.
Do you guys have the same goals?
Most times people are blinded by love when it is new and never ask important questions.
We have instances in which someone is 'dating' themselves, just because the other person was in the relationship for the fun of it.
Does the guy/lady love you for who you are or for what you can provide?
Sometimes our partners stay with us because of what we can offer and not because of who we are.
If we pulled back what we were offering there would be nothing left to the relationship.
Are you always the one initiating communication?
If someone loves you they will create time to talk to you.
It can be through a call, text, or other forms of communication that are convenient for you.
If you are always initiating communication yet the person claims to love you it's time to run and don't look back.
Infatuation only sees perfection even when its absent.
Have you ever been in a relationship where you dated yourself?
