To me, when you're infatuated with someone you can't stop thinking about it and you keep doing jiggy jiggy with them in your mind and you think about how perfect they are.
When you are in love it's not conditional. You love them at their worst as well as their best and you don't have to think about how good the sex is anymore because with or without it they are still your number 1.

I think this is a topic that everyone thinks about at some point in time (usually when they start to get warm, fuzzy feelings about someone else). I'm interested to hear people's personal views on this.
I saw this here and I thought it was interesting. I can't quote it.

This is something I found a couple of years ago about this topic:
Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered question, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet understanding and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you stength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not seperate you. You want him nearer. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him." Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy. Love is maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he's away, you wonder if he's cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels that trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
