Phrases/ words that speak about positive aspects of relationships
At one juncture or another in life we all experience emotions like love, affection, sympathy, empathy etc. We experience, we feel but when we want to really express ourselves we fall short of words. We do not know which is the right phrase or word in English that suits the occasion or a particular feeling that we are experiencing. Intuitively or consciously we then shift to our mother tongue, don’t we?
Let us now see a few phrases or words that express our feelings the right way. Let us also learn to express ourselves correctly in English.

Peter only has eyes for Lara. (is only attracted to)
Their relation is purely platonic. (affectionate relationship between people)
Selena was more than infatuated (romantically obsessed), she was completely besotted with him (blindly and stupidly in love)
