An infactuation is kind of like an obsession. Like someone in a relationship might be infactuated with the person their with because they are dating. Or a person might be infactuated with a particular celebrity because they like what they stand for or just like them. Its not an obsession but its a type of obsession.
You really can't spot it unless they always talk about something or someone, think obsession just a lot lighter like a crush.

Ok well, in my personal opinion - real love itself involves three components:

Passion
Intimacy (this is not sex intimate - intimacy here means communication, deep conversations and meaningful emotional bonds)
Commitment

If you have passion for a person, and none of the other aspects, well then its probably simply an infatuation rather than love. If you can't see yourself with this person for a long time, or envision what might be, then its either a 'crush' situation or infatuation. When you're infatuated, you don't really know the person on a deep level, or maybe you don't know them at all. You base infatuation usually on looks and what you think you know about this person. Infatuation usually means you haven't yet seen this persons flaws and problems. Real love is seeing these problems, realizing the person isn't perfect, and loving them anyhow.

Infatuation can be very easily confused with love, which is why you should never rush into any thing, because real love can wait until you know the person extremely well. Infatuation wont wait, and once you discover things you don't so much care for in a person and find that you like them less because of these negative aspects, well then you know that its probably just infatuation.

If you aren't willing to commit to the person, then its also infatuation, not real love.
