Love or Infatuation?

Copied from Michael Foley's The Age of Absurdity:

"infatuation is transcendent; love in down to earth.

infatuation creates a fantasy; love accepts a reality.

infatuation is an addiction; love is a commitment.

infatuation craves unity; love cherishes separateness.

infatuation evades responsibility; love wholeheartedly accepts it.

infatuation is effortless; love is hard work.

which makes the transition hard."

According to answers.com definition. Infatuation is

1. A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction. See synonyms at love.
2. An object of extravagant, short-lived passion.

It seems the mystery of love is still unknown. But one thing for sure, if Michael Foley is right, I have not experienced love but merely infatuation.
