infatuated vs besotted
Hello
What is the difference between these two words? the dictionary says they are the same but Vocabulary In Use says that "besotted" is much more.

I have never heard "besotted" be used, except maybe in Shakespeare. "Infatuated" is fairly uncommon too, but it does get used sometimes.
Honestly, if you hadn't used made it clear that "besotted" means the same as "infatuated", I would have needed to look it up in a dictionary.
