Awkward Infatuation 

That awkward moment when you realise & accept that you have a crush on/fancy someone who you reeeeeeaaalllllyy shouldn't, ie a teacher or a member of your best mates' family. Similar to but not the same as crushing on a celebrity... With celebrities it's usually fine, but with teachers...

People experiencing Awkward Infatuation are often between the ages of 11 & 18, & common signs are wanting to impress them, either excessively talkative /shy around them, wanting to always be near or around them, overly looking forward to seeing them & to some extent maybe feeling a certain amount of sexual attraction to said person.

When/if said person finds out (& you usually hope they never do) they may be fine with it but most often they will feel embarrassed & will shun any further contact with you.
Girl: OMG I think i may have an Awkward Infatuation with our French teacher, he is really hot & so funny!

Friend: So that's why you spend so much time around him then. Give the poor guy a break he must be sick of you by now. You practically live in that classroom.

Teacher: ...

awkward..!

Making infatuation

Similar to making love, as partners engage in sexual behavior. However, said partners are not truly in love, but rather infatuated. Sexual behavior may consist of penetration, but no petting or caressing. Also, dirty talk replaces "I love you" talk.
John: Come on Sarah! Why are you leaving? We made love last night. I thought that meant we would be together forever.

Sarah: John! I thought I was clear that this would only be for one night. We never made eye contact or anything. How could you think I would marry you. You need to learn the difference between making love and making infatuation.
