Infatuation:[ from Wikipedia]
--you've only know the person a short time, or superficially for a longer period (from a distance)
--you may have had sex, but you don't know them emotionally as a person
--you idealize their behavior and aren't accepting of their whole actions. You place them on a pedastal.
--you trivialize behavior such as abuse or cheating, or think it won't occur if they dated/married you
--you tend to fantasize about them often and are then disappointed when you spend any real time with them. You become bored with them the longer you know them.

Love:[ from Wikipedia]
--you've been involved with them for a significant amount of time--at least 6 months to well over a year or longer
--you have the same interests, agree on important issues (whether or not to have marriage or children, use of finances). You make mutual agreements, and no one bullies the other.
--you've had arguments with them where you handled the disputes in a rational manner, and where neither of you holds grudges or abuses the other.
--you enjoy intimacy with them, and have a mutual agreement on the boundaries of your sexual relationship (with yourselves and/or with others). You don't cheat on each other.
--you've met their family and friends, and generally like them
--you've lived together, or made major mutual decisions (purchases, travel plans)
--you can go periods of time without seeing them, and you still feel the same way about them. You don't become bored as time goes by.
