I’d say if you’re overwhelmingly fixated on what you like about someone, to the point of idolizing them, you are likely infatuated with them. This sometimes involves not paying much attention to things that would be considered negative. An example is possibly deciding to ignore the fact that someone you’re infatuated with clearly doesn’t respect you. Love often involves having a more comprehensive understanding of someone you’re affectionate towards. There may be things about them you don’t like, but you’re willing to accept their faults because you want to build and maintain a healthy relationship with them.
