![\"amor](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/love-at-first-sight-in-park-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to most dating experts, there is no such thing as love at first sight. In fact, this concept of love at first sight is actually infatuation because this is how infatuation takes place\u2014in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n
It happens instantly and before you know it, you\u2019re head over heels for this special someone.<\/p>\n
When something like this happens to you and when you lose the ground under your feet just by looking at a person of the opposite sex, you\u2019re convinced that this is fate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Everything is like in the movies; you two look at each other and you think they\u2019re the one you\u2019ve been waiting your entire life, that you\u2019ve finally met your soulmate and the one person you should spend the rest of your life with.<\/p>\n
Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but the truth is actually quite different. In fact, in most cases, this instant sexual attraction most people mistake with love at first sight is nothing but that\u2014physical attraction and infatuation.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, true love is something different and it is a longer and more complex process. I don\u2019t know what fairy tales taught you but in real life, love needs to grow, it takes time and effort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tienes que conocer a la persona real antes de poder decir que la amas. Tienes que llegar al n\u00facleo de su personalidad, conocerla en diferentes situaciones de la vida y descubrir muchas cosas sobre ella antes de poder decir que la amas de verdad.<\/p>\n
So, how can you actually love someone you had this instant chemistry with? Well, you can\u2019t\u2014you can only be infatuated by them and there is a huge difference between these two concepts.<\/p>\n
Intimidad f\u00edsica frente a una conexi\u00f3n m\u00e1s profunda<\/h2>\n
![\"pareja](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/couple-passionate-in-bed-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t lie to you\u2014sex is a crucial part of every loving relationship and whoever tries to convince you otherwise is not telling the truth.<\/p>\n
Esto es especialmente cierto si usted y su pareja no se llevan bien en el dormitorio, porque estos problemas pueden trasladarse f\u00e1cilmente a otros aspectos de su relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
So, the difference in infatuation vs love doesn\u2019t lie in the quality of your sex life; in both cases, it is an important aspect and something that should be constantly worked on.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, la principal diferencia est\u00e1 en el nivel de intimidad y en si la intimidad s\u00f3lo significa sexo o no.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cuando alguien es objeto de tu enamoramiento, la \u00fanica forma de conectar de verdad es bajo las s\u00e1banas. Ten\u00e9is una vida sexual incre\u00edble, prob\u00e1is cosas nuevas, experiment\u00e1is en el dormitorio y es evidente que sois compatibles en este \u00e1mbito de vuestra relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, cuando se trata de amor verdadero, te das cuenta de que en una relaci\u00f3n sana, la intimidad es mucho m\u00e1s que puro sexo. Tu pareja y t\u00fa est\u00e1is unidos a niveles mucho m\u00e1s profundos que el f\u00edsico.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t resolve your arguments with sex, you don\u2019t use every opportunity to get laid and your relationship simply doesn\u2019t revolve around only that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In fact, you two can spend an entire night, for example, holding hands and staring into each other\u2019s eyes, without laying hands on one another and still have an amazing time.<\/p>\n
When it comes to bedroom activities, you\u2019re not only having sex\u2014you\u2019re making love every time you sleep together.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re both concerned about the other person\u2019s needs as well and for the two of you, this act represents much more than pure physical pleasure\u2014it is also a deeper connection which brings you two even closer and takes your relationship to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
Mariposas frente a calma<\/h2>\n
![\"pareja](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/couple-surounded-with-trees-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Infatuation is addictive love. It’s a new love that hits you and takes over you completely before you even get a chance to realize what happened.<\/p>\n
It is all about butterflies in your stomach you can\u2019t get rid of, as much as you try. It is about excitement and the feeling as if you\u2019re going to fly directly into space when your crush looks at you.<\/p>\n
It is about fireworks and storms. It is the feeling that you can\u2019t get yourself to go to sleep just because you know you\u2019ll see the object of your affection the next day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re infatuated, you don’t see typical signs of love and you feel like you\u2019re on drugs, like you couldn\u2019t breathe without this person by your side and like they\u2019re the only one you need to properly function in this world.<\/p>\n
These strong emotions get the best of you; your palms are sweaty, you get tongue-tied and can\u2019t even talk properly, your pupils get bigger, your voice shakes and this person is the only one you can ever think of.<\/p>\n
The worst part is that this happens at all possible stages of your relationship. When they\u2019re not around, you constantly miss them or when something is off, you\u2019re worried about what will happen next.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, when the two of you are together, you feel like you\u2019re in seventh heaven for having them next to you and you can\u2019t think straight because you\u2019re consumed by the pleasure this person\u2019s presence causes in you.<\/p>\n
Sounds romantic, right? Well, it\u2019s not\u2014it is unhealthy and scary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You two have obviously been dragged into a circle of codependency and this entire roller coaster of emotions makes you think that this is the real deal. Let me tell you that it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re young, the last thing you want is a peaceful relationship without any ups and downs. You think of these couples as boring and you assume that their loving relationships have gotten into a rut, since they lost all the excitement.<\/p>\n
However, as you get older and more mature, you understand that is what real love is all about\u2014about the calmness. Yes, being in love makes you feel butterflies in your stomach but loving someone makes you feel at complete peace.<\/p>\n
This person\u2019s presence calms you down, makes you feel like you\u2019re at home and like nothing and nobody could get to you. They become your harbor and your anchor, which keeps you safe against all the storms.<\/p>\n
Corto plazo frente a largo plazo<\/h2>\n
![\"pareja](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/couple-in-field.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Otra diferencia crucial entre el enamoramiento y el amor es su duraci\u00f3n. Cu\u00e1nto dura tu relaci\u00f3n o cu\u00e1nto esperas que dure?<\/p>\n
Aunque el enamoramiento es un sentimiento intenso, en realidad dura mucho menos que el amor verdadero. Se consume y simplemente se desvanece, como si nunca hubiera existido, sin dejar una huella permanente en tu vida.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I\u2019m not claiming that every true love interest lasts a lifetime. Sadly, some of them end and are not meant to be, despite all of your efforts to make things work.<\/p>\n
However, the fact is that love doesn\u2019t have an expiration date and even when it ends, it still remains important. It shapes you as a person and forever stays an unerasable part of who you are.<\/p>\n
True love lasts for years and it doesn\u2019t depend on your financial status, looks, friends, family, education or anything else; it just exists, despite everything.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It accepts all of your and your partner\u2019s changes and it grows together with you in all of its selflessness.<\/p>\n
Desaf\u00eda al tiempo y a todos los obst\u00e1culos que la vida pueda ponerle delante. Es m\u00e1s fuerte que todo lo que se interpone en su camino y no puede ser destruido por nada ni por nadie.<\/p>\n
Suena demasiado rom\u00e1ntico, lo s\u00e9. Sin embargo, s\u00f3lo piensas as\u00ed hasta que lo experimentas y hasta que ves que realmente es la verdad.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, infatuation ends at the first glance of trouble. It replaces you with someone better and more convenient and it doesn\u2019t put up a decent fight before dying off for good.<\/p>\n
Celos frente a confianza<\/h2>\n
![\"mujer](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nervous-woman-while-man-holding-phone-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re in love, it is natural for you to be scared of losing the person next to you so jealousy and possessiveness appear.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re ready to do whatever it takes to keep them around and you\u2019re convinced you couldn\u2019t live without them.<\/p>\n
Te vuelves excesivamente controlador y crees que comport\u00e1ndote como si fueras el due\u00f1o del objeto de tu profundo afecto, evitar\u00e1s que se vaya de tu lado.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, suele ocurrir lo contrario. A menudo, se consigue un efecto totalmente contraproducente y se acaba ahuyent\u00e1ndolos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the other hand, when you truly love your partner, there is no place for jealousy or possessive behavior. Of course, you wouldn\u2019t be indifferent if you, for example, see them kissing someone else but your fear of losing them doesn\u2019t control you and is not at the center of your feelings for them.<\/p>\n
You know that you can live without this person\u2014you just don\u2019t want to (contrary to addictive love, where you’re convinced you wouldn’t make it without the object of your infatuation).<\/p>\n
You know you would eventually survive their absence\u2014you just choose to fight for their presence every day.<\/p>\n
En una relaci\u00f3n sana como \u00e9sta, la confianza mutua es una de las cosas m\u00e1s importantes en las que se basa vuestro amor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have the need to stalk your partner, to follow them around, to control their every move or to check up on them all the time simply because you trust that they wouldn\u2019t do anything behind you back, even if they had a chance to.<\/p>\n
Al fin y al cabo, si realmente quieren estar con otra persona, \u00bfqui\u00e9n eres t\u00fa para imped\u00edrselo? Lo \u00faltimo que querr\u00edas es que permanecieran a tu lado mientras piensan en otra persona o mientras te enga\u00f1an emocionalmente.<\/p>\n
You see, one of the signs of love is its selflessness. You have such strong emotions for someone that you want them to be happy, even if that happiness doesn’t include you.<\/p>\n
The same goes the other way around\u2014it is not that you\u2019re faithful because you\u2019re scared of getting caught; you don\u2019t cheat on them because you couldn\u2019t imagine yourself next to someone else and because you would rather be alone than with anyone else.<\/p>\n
Resentimiento frente a perd\u00f3n<\/h2>\n
![\"pareja](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/couple-arguing-in-their-house-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ego is a huge part of relationships that are built upon infatuation. Whenever the other person does something you don\u2019t like or hurts you in any way, you think about ways to pay them back and give them a taste of their own medicine.<\/p>\n
You hold grudges forever and the resentment often eats you alive. You simply have to get even and you feel angered if you don\u2019t get your revenge.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, cuando se trata de amor, ambos son conscientes de que el perd\u00f3n es la clave de una relaci\u00f3n sana.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying that in this case scenario, you should allow the other person to walk over you all the time while you do nothing about it but you won\u2019t plot your vengeance about every little thing just to fix your broken ego either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In fact, when they apologize, you accept it and you two move on. You know they mean it when they tell you how sorry they are and you know that there is no point in constantly going back over the past if you\u2019ve both agreed on leaving something behind you.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t lie to them that you\u2019ve managed to forgive them for their misdeeds just so you could get them on thin ice or pay them back.<\/p>\n
Instead, you take your time and decide whether you\u2019re really capable of forgetting about the episode which hurt you and move on, as if nothing happened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cuando se trata de amor, haces todo lo posible por comprender a tu pareja, incluso cuando no est\u00e1s de acuerdo con ella.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t judge them and try walking a mile in their shoes in order to understand their reasons and in order to eventually forgive them.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t let your emotional baggage ruin your relationship and you keep an open heart to all possible solutions which will bring progress to your romance.<\/p>\n
Pasi\u00f3n frente a amistad<\/h2>\n
![\"sexy](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sexy-brunnete-kissing-with-her-boyfriend-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re infatuated by someone, you see them as nothing but your lover and romantic partner. At first sight, you assume that this is more than enough and that a healthy relationship shouldn\u2019t bring you anything more than that.<\/p>\n
However, only once you experience true love do you understand the importance of other things. You realize that your loved one shouldn\u2019t be your lover only\u2014they should be your best friend as well.<\/p>\n
You understand the real meaning of partnership. This is your person, your partner in crime and your other half\u2014the first person you go to when you\u2019re in trouble or when you need advice or guidance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Es alguien que puede hacerte re\u00edr, que tiene la capacidad de secar todas tus l\u00e1grimas, que puede alegrar tu d\u00eda m\u00e1s oscuro y que es tu familiar m\u00e1s querido y tu mejor amigo en todo el mundo.<\/p>\n
Tu pareja se convierte en tu confidente y en la persona con la que m\u00e1s disfrutas pasando el tiempo. Es alguien a quien puedes contar tus secretos m\u00e1s oscuros, sin miedo a ser juzgado, alguien que te escucha y que comparte tus intereses.<\/p>\n
Without losing your individuality, the two of you become an item and function together. You\u2019re not just a romantic couple\u2014you\u2019re a team and you go against the world.<\/p>\n
Idealizaci\u00f3n frente a aceptaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n
![\"pareja](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/couple-eating-cookies-in-kitchen-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Otra diferencia crucial entre amor y enamoramiento radica en la percepci\u00f3n que t\u00fa y tu pareja ten\u00e9is el uno del otro. Es la diferencia entre las expectativas realistas e irreales de tu relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re infatuated by another person, you only love the best version of them and you don\u2019t dig under the multiple layers of their personalidad compleja<\/a>.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re not concerned by their flaws and you don\u2019t even put any effort into trying to get to know their dark side, which we all have, simply because you don\u2019t care enough.<\/p>\n
The same goes the other way; you always try to look your best in front of your partner, to have a smile on your face and to be in the best of moods, even when you\u2019re actually at your lowest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t bother this person with your financial problems or family emergencies, you don\u2019t share your troubles with them and you don\u2019t let them in all the way.<\/p>\n
En consecuencia, ambos acaban idealiz\u00e1ndose mutuamente, idealizando toda la relaci\u00f3n y pensando que todo es mucho mejor de lo que realmente es.<\/p>\n
However, when it comes to love, you accept the person next to you completely. You are not wearing rose-tinted glasses and you don\u2019t think of them as some superhuman who is never cranky, nervous or in a bad mood.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t try to change them and you\u2019re completely aware of their imperfections. Not only that\u2014you love them for those imperfections because you\u2019re aware that they also shaped them into the person they are today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t expect this person to be flawless and you are completely fine with everything their personality and appearance consist of.<\/p>\n
Instead, you love them for who they really are and you wouldn’t change any part of their character, even if you had a chance to.<\/p>\n
When real love is in question, you and your partner care for each other the same at your best and at your worst. You don\u2019t try to put each other in a box and you have realistic expectations of your relationship.<\/p>\n
Drama contra compromiso<\/h2>\n
![\"mujer](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/angry-woman-talking-on-phone-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re infatuated with another person, you experience strong feelings regarding everything about them. You enjoy the constant tension in your relationship and you even find it cute.<\/p>\n
You see the fact that you and your loved one can\u2019t get along as signs of strong chemistry and steaming passion.<\/p>\n
Os pele\u00e1is y arm\u00e1is jaleo por cualquier cosa. Al fin y al cabo, el sexo de reconciliaci\u00f3n siempre es m\u00e1s salvaje cuando acaba la discusi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
What you clearly fail to see is that the two of you might share some intense feelings but that we\u2019re not talking about love but of deep affection and sexual attraction, since you are obviously not compatible enough to have a healthy, mature romantic relationship.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I\u2019m not saying that couples who don’t fight don’t share intense emotions or that those who love each other don\u2019t fight. They most certainly do but their arguments are never without a point and they don\u2019t create drama over nothing.<\/p>\n
In fact, their fights are always as productive as possible and they use them as learning points to make their relationship better. They are aware that they\u2019re on the same team and it is always them against the problem, never them against each other.<\/p>\n
When you love your partner, you are aware of the importance of compromise. You see your relationship as a two-way street and you\u2019re both ready to put in your maximum effort to make things work.<\/p>\n
En este escenario, no hay lugar para el ego ni para el aumento de la autoestima y nunca importa qui\u00e9n tiene raz\u00f3n o no.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t compete in who won more arguments and the only important thing is to find a solution that will suit both of you and will be best for the future of your relationship.<\/p>\n
