Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoning passion or love; addictive love. Infatuation usually occurs at the beginning of a relationship. It is characterized by urgency, intensity, sexual desire, and/or anxiety, in which there is an extreme absorption in another. It is traditionally associated with youth.
