Answer to Question 1

Simple infatuation is a physical attraction that is often accompanied by emotion-filled daydreams and fantasies about someone, perhaps an actor/actress, a pop star or singing idol, or even a teacher (also known as a crush). Romantic infatuation is a type of infatuation that is often referred to as romantic love. Defined in the American Heritage dictionary (2000 ) as a foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction, and an object of extravagant short- lived passion, romantic infatuation involves a complicated, oftentimes overpowering, blend of emotion and sex.
