I personally classify my feelings in 3 categories, crush, passion and love.
I define crush as a momentaneous thing, and it is gone after "consummation". I had hundreds of crushes through all my life.
Passion I think is when consummation does not let it go, but can be dismissed when I start to focus on the other person's flaws. I had a it several times.
Love only time can dismisses, and I believe often not even time will dismiss. No matter how awful the other person is and makes you feel, there is just something that seems to blind you and seduce you and totally rock your world. There were only 3 people so far I really fell in love with, including my current relationship.
