No, I haven't. I suppose demigod is not the right word. But during the first two years of a realationship when you have that special feeling, you feel as if they are the most amazing person to ever exist. Or something like that. I think you know what I mean.

I have an idea, but I really don't think it's a good idea for you to make assumptions about how people in situations that you've never experienced and then post them as if they were fact.

FYI, I have had a feeling of exciting butterflies-in-stomach attraction to somebody I have known things about. Since I wasn't "in love" and according to Nancyborgasm, a requirement to call it "infatuation" is that you don't know them very well, I've been left with no label to use. However I've never heard of that requirement of infatuation before and doubt it's a real one.

And I do know that when you're dating somebody, this feeling ends in two years, I've read it in The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman.

Edit: The dictionary definition of infatuation:
1.A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction. See synonyms at love.
2.An object of extravagant, short-lived passion.

"Not knowing them well" isn't there.
