How Long Does it Usually Take You to Fall in Love?

[Justac00lguy]

I don't think you can put a time scale on it, depends on the person, depends on the feelings involved. So may different factors that i don't think anyone could give a definitive answer.

Yeah exactly this.

There's no real answer, it can happen straight away or over a long period of time. Just depends on the situation. Me personally, I don't think I've ever really "fallen in love". I've been close, but I haven't exactly loved a girl so much so that I'd want to spend the rest of my life with them. Plus commitment scares me, so I usually talk myself out of falling in love.

I've never been in love before, but I'd like to know what it's like. Thing is, I don't want to be the one that 'tests it out', if you know what I mean. I'd much rather observe others 'falling in love' and suchlike. But then again I guess an "observer perspective" can only give you so much. Hmm.

Sadly, not long for me. I've described myself as a hopeless romantic in the past and despite bad breakups I've got a short timer. Still, my current relationship has no foreseeable end and that makes me happy

I don't fall in love, love falls in a hole I dug three metres away from myself and covered in leaves and twigs. Now love is my prisoner and I feed it lettuce through a tube every other day.

It is often a very short period of time. Sometimes I find myself intantaneously crushing on a girl that I just met.

Every person is different, and it's important to realize that some people just don't fall in love or have romantic feelings for others, while others cling to the cliché of "love at first sight," and other people are in between. You won't know how long it takes for you to fall in love until it already happens, and by then calculating how long it took won't matter -- and really it shouldn't. You shouldn't use an amount of time to scale how long it takes for you to fall in love, because that's such an unrealistic standard.

It depends on how much I connect with the other person, honestly. I can get small crushes pretty easily but I don't usually fall head-over-heels for someone until I've really gotten to know them well. If it's not someone I don't know very well and don't have a strong bond with, then it's not love. That's the way I look at it.

The one time I did, it took me 6 months to realize it, so I don't know. It's something that slowly creeps up on you

I've never been in love. I thought I was once but our relationship was incredibly unhealthy and codependent so that didn't last very long.

I'd like to experience it someday but at the same time I have commitment issues and can't ever really see myself being in love/getting married/etc.
