Stages of Dating Relationships
Infatuation
Short-term, intense attraction to someone new
Based on physical, sexual attraction, status, personality
Think about the other person all the time, spend all your free time with the other person and not with other friends, go out of your way to see the other person, don't want to hear anything negative about the other person, tend to make high risk choices, seeing the person as perfect, obsession
Many times infatuation will end as a new person becomes object of desire
Other times infatuation may mature as people get to know each other over timeSlide8
Stages of Dating Relationships
