the stage of infatuation where one is enchanted by another but not yet "in love"

A cultural and aesthetic mind-state that prioritizes making money, even as an “underground” or “radical” creator. The work isn’t made for money, but it’s the money that matters the most.

You like someone way more than just "liking" them. Its kind of like being in love, but not quite that. Its more of an in between.

Analogous phrase to "in love", to describe one's feelings for a person that one is interested in romantically but not currently in love with. As one can love another as a friend but not be *in* love, so can one like another as a friend but not be *in* like.

When you really really hella like someone but you don't love them yet or you're scared to give them.
