I once explained to Shell one basic difference between infatuation and love/devotion. Infatuation entails a need to spend as much time as possible in the company of the object of one's desire. Love includes the terrible fear that you might never see that person again. Okay it's not a catch-all distinction nor an exhaustive one, and there's a degree of overlap. But she got it straight away.
