The act of developing a fake surface crush on somebody of the opposite sex, usually because you're too much of a pussy to actually speak to them. This is usually attributed to the large loner community. Due to their inability to make the approach and introduce themselves, these people resort to "watching" their crush from afar, daydreaming about them, etc. This usually leads to heavy depression once they're struck with the realization that they will never get to be with this person. However, it should be noted that the ecstasy these people feel upon visualizing their crush for the first few weeks is far more exciting than one could ever imagine. After the depression stage, the loner learns to accept his fate like he has done so many times in the past.
Me: Man, that girl is so fuckin' pretty. I'd love to take her out on a date and pamper her with flowers, chocolates and stuff. Plus, I'm a Scorpio and she's a Cancer. Don't you think we would get along just great?

My friend: Uh, yeah, sure. Why don't you just go talk to her dude?

Me: Fuck that shit. Are you nuts? I'll just stalk her around the halls at school and creep her Facebook for years. I'll daydream about our whacky adventures together and stare at her whenever I get the chance. We have never even spoken before, but just by looking at her, I can tell that she is the one that I went to spend the rest of my life with. I love her so much.

My friend: You fucking whacko, you. You and your damned puppy love.

A serious and deadly psychological disorder. When an unfortunate person is inflicted with "puppy love", their brain will quickly deteriorate. With what brain cells they have left, they focus on a particular person, whether it be a boyfriend/girlfriend or just a crush, and forget about anyone else. It is a leading cause of broken friendships and heartbreak.

"Puppy love" can be easily spotted. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to:

-Total and complete obsession with the object of this "puppy love"
-Sudden disinterest in friends, family, and hobbies
-When the inflicted uses words such as "it's love!" and "going to get married" and "live happily ever after"
-Relationships that move through the different levels at an alarmingly fast rate

"Puppy love", having been completely ignored by psychologists around the globe, has reached the state of an epidemic. No one is safe from it, and once a person has been contaminated, there is no hope. The only thing that can be done is to sit down and wait for it to take it's course. Very few survivors of this disorder are ever the way they used to be.

Puppy love is not like the love that one has for puppies. Nor is it like the love that puppies have for us. It is the love that one has at the "puppy" stage of a person's life. It is as genuine a case of love as any other. It is true love that never goes away, even if it falls below the conscious level. It becomes the model of what falling in love is like.
Puppy love is true love felt at the puppy stage of a person's life.

Cute love between two people, usually not too serious. It is called puppy love because it is like the love you would show to your puppy, cute and sloppy.
