I've read that infatuation is something that doesn't last, and it's more chemistry and idealization of someone (basically, a crush). Love may start from it, but is more solidly based in knowledge, companionship, communication, shared experiences and so on.
I would like to understand better where I stand in this. I met a man 12 years ago, whom I've liked and cared about ever since. We seldom see each other, there is chemistry and mutual attraction, but I know many of his virtues and flaws and I keep caring for him anyway. We know each other very little from emails and calls, more from what family and friends tell us about the other's life. So, I know, it's not infatuation, because, it has lasted, and I don't see him as a "knight in shinning armor" (armor is quite rusted by the way), and I don't love him, because we lack the knowledge, time, communication and reciprocity to term my feelings as love. So, I am confused about what my feelings are, and how they can be explained.
Thanks

It is infatuation as you do not live together. If you see each other very seldom the infatuation can last much longer.
