How to use "Infatuation" in correct way?

Solution 1:

I prefer the MW definition of infatuate:

1 : to cause to be foolish : deprive of sound judgment

2 : to inspire with a foolish or extravagant love or admiration

The notable thing about an infatuation vs "real" affection is not the duration but the foolishness of it. Short duration is just one possible sign of this.
