Sounds the Same, But Means Different

Aside from being the month with the shortest number of days, February is also regarded as the month of love. So in this article, the topic revolves with crush, attraction, infatuation, and love. Without so much ado, let's get started.

Attraction is when you like a certain person in general. You like him or her in some way. You don't have to have any feelings about them, but you still enjoy being around them. You like how they look and, maybe, how they smell.

A good sense of humor could be one thing they could have that other people don't and it could be something you are attracted about. As time goes on, you don't care about them as individuals; they're just good company to have. This is all based on how they look and act on the outside. There are times when you don't even care what their personality is like unless it's something that makes you disgusted or angry.

The majority of the time, a crush is the result of long-term attraction. When two people are attracted to each other, it gets even more intense.

Because you start to pay more attention to their looks, you become more attracted to them. The more time that goes by, you also start to see their flaws less and less. There is a chance, though, that it isn't someone you'd want to pursue in the first place. It's possible that you're giving more of your attention to one person than to other people, but you might still be thinking about other people.

On the other hand, we have infatuation. This is when things start to get a little more serious because you're talking about your feelings and saying that you want to pursue this person, which makes things more serious.

It's very likely that you'll keep following this person. Learn more about them and get a better sense of who they are as people at this point. A lot of people will be disappointed or rejected at this point in their lives.

This is when you start to care about them on a more personal level, but you still have a lot of expectations about what they should be doing for you. Because you've begun to show yourself, it will take you a long time to get over your disappointments. I think that there is a big difference between infatuation and liking. Everything up until that point has been about them. At this point, you want them to know about you as well, so that you can form a link.

Last but definitely not the least is love and this happens when things start going more serious. Sometimes, it is not the way you want them to and they aren't ideal at this point. You come to understand that their personal well-being is much superior than whatever vision you've conjured up in your head.

As long as they're happy, you're happy, too. You make an effort to accommodate their individual requirements and preferences since they are more essential than your own preconceived notions. This is when you pay attention to the person, even if they don't want to talk about things.

Your relationship with them is very strong. If you were forced to give your life for them, you would. As a person who knows what they are going through, you don't take their bad moods personally.

Everybody doesn't expect them to be the protector, or to play a certain role in the story. You let them cry on your shoulder as you give them comfort and care. You just want them to be who they are, and you want to help them find their best selves, even if it is not what you thought at first.

That is all for today's article. Hope you learn something and were able to distinguish their differences as to each other.
