Is any love ever based on reality, though? Who really knows anybody? And we change all the time...
I agree with you and her, and think you guys are just changing the semantics. The child is taking a leap of faith to who their parents are. They may grow older and find out their parents are not the good people they thought them to be. However, the actions they receive from their parents out of love is very real and they can detect love of their parents.I vote: yes. The simplest love is a young child loving their parent. It is 100% reality based. There is a lot the child doesn't know about their parent, but that does not undermine the love they have for them.
What's reality, then? I won't argue that that love is very real, but if love is based in reality, but the child isn't capable of comprehending reality at that point.I vote: yes.

Love has levels and different forms on the four categories I mentioned. It's a very emotional attached to looks/body/face percentage over other dynamics, it's still "love". Just not a very meaningful one but all meaningful ones in terms of romance start from somewhere right?I wonder, too, what's people's opinions are on love at first sight. The popular opinion seems to be its only lust at first sight, but we're diverse here. Anyone have any other thoughts on this?
Do you think it always has to be about looks, though?Love has levels and different forms on the four categories I mentioned.

No, it can be first impression you get from how they act. How they talk. I was talking about love in first sight from looks perspective, but you are right. First impression can be more than that.Do you think it always has to be about looks, though?

Could part of that be instinctual? If it is, does that matter?The reality for the child is that their parent provides for them, is responsible for them, and is connected to them in a way which is different and more significant than the other children who are not in the family unit.

I can't help but notice that oftentimes, a child's love for its parent continues even if the parent isn't providing for them.
What is happening when infatuation becomes love? I'm thinking the connection becomes more complex, because details that are discovered enhance the connection and reinforce it. The addition of detail, shifting from fantasy to reality, is increasing complexity?
When the attachment is simple, what separates it (love) from infatuation?
Can it be separated?Yes, it could, but it still matters. I think we would need to seperate out the psychological need to love the parent and psychological need of feeling loved by the parent as compared to the love, the emotion, a child has for the parent.
I agree.I agree. However, if the parent never provided for them there is still the significance of the connection which is different than the other children outside the family unit.

Never was adopted but I've lived with folk who werent my parents as a child and was raised by them. You get attached to those who raise you by blood or not. And it can be very strong even lasting through abuse. Interestingly you may not have as strong a connection with your biological parents. I will say being ive had so many caregivers growing up I can drop folk easily it'll make me sad for a little while but I can do it at a moment's noticewonder how that affects a person affected by adoption

Can it be separated?
As I see it, nothing. Infatuation is a form of love.
