Puppy Love
Puppy love, also known as a crush, is an informal term for feelings of romantic love, often felt during childhood and early adolescence. It is an infatuation often developed by one's looks and attractiveness at first sight. It is named for its resemblance to the affection that may be felt by a puppy. It is commonly associated with feelings of emotional attachment.
The term can be used in a derogatory fashion, presuming the affair to be shallow and transient in comparison to other forms of love. Sigmund Freud, however, believed in the validity of early love, emphasizing "the proverbial durability of first loves".
