An intense, but short-lived passion or admiration for someone.

In terms of tagging, infatuation describes posts where a character has a crush on another, displays an sudden attraction towards another, or acts with affection or arousal towards the target of their infatuation. Infatuation is most obvious when the target does not appear to reciprocating the same level of affection, is unaware of the character's infatuation, or does not display attraction towards the infatuated character.

Signs of Infatuation

• Hearts floating around the infatuated character's head
• Heart eyes or pupils when looking at their crush
• Staring at their crush with wide eyes
• blushing when looking at their crush
• Offering gifts to their crush
• Having pictures or other inanimate objects representing their crush
• The character may kiss or hug this photo/object, or create a shrine if they're particularly obsessed with their crush
