infatuated
Head over heels
Infatuated describes being intensely but often foolishly attracted to someone or something.
The feeling is consuming and irrational—more obsession than reasoned affection: He was completely infatuated with her.
Infatuation typically suggests a passion that will fade or that blinds someone to flaws: Don't mistake infatuation for love.
