1. Infatuation or Love???
Healthful Living
B. Gunderson

2. What does infatuation mean?
How would you act if you were infatuated?

3. According to the text: “symptoms” of infatuation are…
Panic
Uncertainty
overpowering lust
feverish excitement
impatience
jealousy
unhappy
suspicious
miserable when they are away
difficult to concentrate
not complete unless with them
doubt relationship
incomplete unless sexual encounter

4. What does the text suggest about infatuation being biological?
when infatuated we get surges of
Dopamine= feel good
Norepinephrine= adrenaline
Phenylethalimine=bliss
Oxytocin=emotional attachment & sexual arousal.
Together these brain chemicals override the brain activity that provokes logic.
We build a “tolerance” to these chemicals so it takes more to feel the intoxicating effects.

5. What does love mean?
How would you act or what would you do if you were in love?

6. According to the text: “symptoms” of LOVE are…
No particular desire to change them.
Pose no condition on whether you will love them or not
Focus is on what you like about them
appreciation for who they are
You give your attention, your time, your focus to them (balance).
When talking, complete attention on partner when speaking
undivided attention (when conversing)
Touch, hold hand, etc. (appropriate for boundaries set by BOTH partners).
