How to Say "infatuated" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “infatuated” is “enamorado” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
¿Estás enamorado de tu nueva vecina?
Are you in love with your new neighbor (f.)?

My sister is in love with classical music.
Parecen tan enamorados cuando se miran.
They look so in love when they look at each other.
Use with 'Estar' (To Be)
To say someone IS in love, always use the verb 'estar' because it describes a current, often changing, emotional state, not a permanent part of their personality.
Required Preposition
You must follow 'enamorado' with the preposition 'de' (of) to say who or what someone is in love with. It does not use 'con' (with).
Using 'Ser'
Mistake: “Él es enamorado.”
Correction: Él está enamorado. (This corrects the mistake of treating 'in love' as a permanent quality using 'ser'.)
