Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eileen's feelings towards Jesse are described as passionate love, which is characterized by intense emotions, physical attraction, and strong sexual desire. They have not yet developed the other components of love, such as commitment and intimacy, which are necessary for consummate love. Companionate love involves strong feelings of intimacy and commitment but may not have the same level of passion and sexual desire. Fatuous love involves commitment without necessarily developing intimacy or passion.
