How thin is the line between being in love and being infatuated.

Asked by Mexicanamerican (1957) October 1st, 2008 from iPhone

There is a girl I was crazy about we dated have fun but circumstances (she is an employee in my department) kept us apart. It was getting out that there was something between us, so we decided to let things cool off and take some time off from seeing each other so much. Now we’ve both kind of moved on but, it’s been 3 months and I can not for the life of me get her out of my head. She seems to be happy it’s hard to tell cause she’s avoiding me cause she thinks I’m going to get fired being I’m her boss. I care for her a lot but and I’m willing to risk my job for her, problem is we were only dating for 5 months and I’ve only known her a total of 1 year 4 months. So I’m not sure if it’s just infatuation or love….. I apologize for the length of the question..
