Hmm. I assume you mean the feeling of falling in love with one other person. (I'm lesbian, by the way. Not sure that matters though.)
I have a history of infatuation/crushes. Unfortunately, I tend to be more than a little unwise in handling these crushes. Because most of them have been focused on someone who liked my company but didn't want me as a romantic partner. Idiot me, I kept hoping. And I fell for people who had no problem with using me in any way they wanted - "she'll be around, she'll help paint the house", etc. Did I learn from my gullibility? Not at all - until someone came around who was bisexual and wanted a female lover "on the side" . . . why I fell for that . . . oh I really haven't had enough therapy. Yeah, I have some self-esteem issues. Anyway, that one "broke" me. After a year I finally wised up and said "no more". I've pretty much been solitary ever since.
But I'm well aware of the feeling as a basic "I would do anything for ___. Any day I get to see ____ is a good day. Any day I don't is a bad day." For me, that's pretty much the definition.
