How fast do you fall in love?
What's the fastest you've ever fallen in love?
I'll keep this short. Basically, earlier this week, I met this guy at my friend's party (I'm 22 and he's 24). At first, I didn't really think anything of him - he was not bad to look at but nothing special. About an hour into the party, we struck a conversation. He made me laugh SO MUCH, and I loved the things he had to say. He talked so much, but I didn't mind ONE bit. I was actually interested in what he had to say. We spoke for almost two hours, and there wasn't one minute when we weren't speaking or laughing. I gave him my number, and we have met up every single day since then. He's hilarious, considerate, well mannered, loving and so very manly. And he makes me feel SOOOO GOOOODD about myself. Everyday, I find that I like him even more. I didn't even know you could feel this way about another human being until I met him. Jeesssuss, I sound so love struck.
So ladies, my question to you is, is six days enough to fall in love with someone? please tell me this is normal! what's the fastest you've ever fallen in love with? how did you guys meet? are you still with them? are you not? what happened? I want to read some stories, if you want to share! How long did it take you to fall in love with your partner? How fast did you fall in love with someone? what was the shortest amount of time? How long does it take you to fall in love? Or know that you're in love?
I've dated a few women over the past few years, no relationships more than a year. But I'd say I haven't been in love yet. I feel in my current relationship, I'm on the path to love, but not there yet. How long does it take you to fall in love, or realize you are in love? How long did it take for you to fall in love with your partner? What's the fastest and hardest you've ever fallen for someone?
Feeling some very intense things for a girl I've only seen a couple times. Never have I ever felt so much for someone in such a short period of time (<week).
What are some instances where you guys fell hard and quick? How long did it take you to fall in love with your partner?
I (M25) have been dating this girl for over 4 months now, and on the surface it's all good. She's pretty, smart, funny and the sex is pretty good as well. I enjoy my time with her, but I still have no real feelings towards her, and I'm getting increasingly unsure what to make of this situation. For those of you who didn't fall in love at first sight - How long did it take you and do you think there's any realistic chance that my feelings for this girl develop after that time? Do you fall in love too fast?
We all know that meeting someone and finding a great connection with them doesn’t happen every day! And when it finally happens, the temptation is to sit and daydream about the person all day long, and message them nonstop... basically, we’re so excited we want to dive right into love with both feet!
But my best advice is to use a bit of emotional self control. Let love come on slowly with time. If you’re the type that after the third good date, you find yourself daydreaming about the person during the day, when you should be focused - snap out of it in those moments!
Allow the other person to earn love, over time, through their actions.
Sip and savor love slowly instead of slamming it down fast.
Does anybody know what I’m talking about? When did you "fall in love" with your SO?
Was it gradual or was it all at once? I’ve been dating a guy I met in OLD for about 1.5 months now. We definitely have connected incredibly and I can completely see a LTR with him. I have very strong feelings for him at this point. He told me via text tonight that he’s in love with me. I then told him “ it’s too early for you to really tell yet” because I was so shocked and it was an attempt to slow him down a bit. I knew he had strong feelings, he had been communicating that, but telling me he loves me that early kind of freaked me out. Not because I don’t have strong feelings, it’s because I feel like it’s not normal to fall in love that fast and it might be a red flag. He’s had a few relationships that got serious quickly and that’s obviously caused some concern as well. Am I overreacting? Guys, what is the earliest you’ve told a woman you are in love with them? When did you fall in love with your significant other?
I'm curious when you fell in love with your significant other relative to when you met them, and when you got into a relationship with them. Also was it sudden, or a gradual change in feelings? How long did it take you to "fall in love" with your partner?
I'm 32M and have been dating a 28 year old woman for the past month or so. We just had a conversation where she conveyed that she's not sure how she feels about the relationship, because she hasn't had that overwhelming feeling of love toward me that she has had in the past. I said that in my limited relationship experience, I have fallen very fast and hard and it has ended badly for me, so I'm consciously avoiding falling into that situation again. I was saying that I think it's just a part of growing up that you don't have that immediate swell of emotions, so I don't necessarily think it's a problem to not be "in love" at this point.
She feels a bit anxious about not being able to apply a label to what we are yet, and is hesitant to label things until she feels like she loves me, whereas I'm just happy to spend time close to her. We agree that we like being together and that there was a spark between us on the first dates that usually isn't there. For now, at least, she's going to work on embracing the ambiguity and seeing where things lead. So, I'm wondering how long it took/takes for you and your partners to "feel the love." How quickly do you, personally, fall in love?
Just trying to get some comparisons because I feel I fall in love relatively quickly! How long did it take you to fall in love, and when did you know?
A lot of my female friends believe that women fall in love gradually, while men fall in love very quickly. Do you think it's true that if a man isn't crazy about a woman from the get-go, that he never will be? How easily do you fall in love?
I'm the kind of guy who falls in love easily, and while it's a personal thing I wonder if it's something that could scare a girl. I feel like I'm falling in love too quickly
She's incredible, but I've only been seeing her a couple months. She's hilarious, compassionate, shares all of my hobbies, and the sex is great. Maybe it's just my own inhibitions concerning that word "love", and maybe I'm just scared after coming off my last serious relationship of 2 years, but it all feels so fast. I want to tell her I love her. I really do. But it's been three months, and I feel like that's a very short amount of time to make that leap. Okay, so I understand that the title of this post sounds like I'm bragging. But I'm not, hear me out. This is becoming quite the problem. I'm currently very casually(or so I thought) seeing a guy who I'm not too sure about. We met two weeks ago, and last night when we were hanging out he made it very clear that he was thinking about dropping the "L" bomb but didn't want to scare me away. This is the fourth guy I've seen this year who has confessed or almost confessed his love less than a month into seeing each other, usually way before the relationship has time to progress to "boyfriend/girlfriend" zone.
I'm in my late 20s so it's kind of pathetic that I haven't figure this all out by now. I've been in a few long term serious relationships (2+ years) and I've said the L word before, however, those feels were more like lust and infatuation. I've been seeing this guy I met via Okcupid for about five months now and I love this guy. Not love love but I just think he's an awesome human. He has a great heart, I find him really interesting, we have a lot in common, we stay up late talking about anything and everything. Bonus: He's sexy as hell. He definitely has his flaws but I find most of them endearing. I want him in my life for as long as possible and I sometimes worry that I made a mistake in doing the relationship thing. I mean, friendships have a much longer shelf life than romantic relationships. Anyway. For those who have fallen deeply for someone, did it start off as platonic love and transform into something more later? How does this whole love thing work?
It's honestly baffling me. I thought men were generally a bit slower to say those three little words, as they tend to come with connotations of all sorts of scary commitment. Now I'm pretty sure these men don't actually feel what they say, it's probably just infatuation or some sort of game. But I'm confused. Is this a tactic men use often to get what they physically? Have you his ever GENUINELY fallen in love with someone after two weeks? I know you can't possibly know the motives of these guys, but a little insight would be spectacular.
