Early in the intrusive thinking phase, idealization sets in. The erotic permeates everything and creates that famous halo with which we love to blind ourselves. For a while, the infatuated sees no flaws in the beloved and admits to no blocks to forward progress.

Infatuation cannot exceed its own expectations.
It is the spark and the emotional kindling, not a steady, warming fire.
It is an appetizer that makes you anticipate the full banquet. But it will not keep you warm and it will not fill you up.

Infatuation begins as an important emotional signal to point you in the direction of desire and get you moving.
But it is not yet love and its impetus will never take the place of thinking about what you want and acting persistently on that intention.
