Puppy Love VS True Love


Well well well...I am thinking of some other girls while i am going to get married soon. I'm not thinking how i miss them but rather looking @ my emotions called "puppy love" back then. First, I must admit I got lots of "puppy loves" @ a certain stage of life. What is "puppy love" then?

Wikipedia describes it as an informal term for feelings of
love, particularly between young people during adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy.Formal term: Infatuation.

How do you differentiate puppy love from real love then? Below is the List of Difference between Puppy Love Vs True Love
#1
Just a feeling VS Feeling + commitment

#2
Love of Emotion VS Love of Devotion

#3 Weaken by time and separation VS Strengthen by time and separation
#4
Interested in satisfying yourself and your feeling VS Interested in satisfying the needs of your partner

#5 Basically Selfish VS Basically Selfless
#6 Tend to magnify problems in relationship and lose interest VS Tend to seek solutions and improve on your own weakness.
#7
Possessive VS Wanting the best of others

#8 Attraction to physical or talents VS Attraction to Character ....etc the list goes on (Above are the major ones)

Some personal notes: #3 is so true for me and my fiancee...people who know us will know that we went through long distance relationship which strengthen over time.


Infatuation can grow into Love over time when you realize you would want to be a better person for him/her.
