A few weeks? Days? Months?

Is it different with every person or every experience, or do you generally have a pattern when it comes to time?

If someone claimed to be in love with a person they've known for only a short time, would you think that it can't possibly be love?

In order for it to be love, is there a minimum time limit of knowing someone?

sometimes one moment of seeing that person can garuntee that i will get obsessed whenever that person is around !

Never been in love, so I really don't know. :)

does crushes count ?

Not sure...but I think I don't fall quickly, lol.

Ya ok :)

Love can happen very quickly or takes time. But I think when it takes time to develop, like you know each other, you respect, understand one another, and ultimately love one another, then you have a stronger foundation and the relationship can last. Whilst I think if it was in just a few days, it does not have a strong foundation, so if anything goes wrong, you can fall out of it, as fast as you fell into it.

If someone claimed to be in love with a person they've known for only a short time, would you think that it can't possibly be love? i truley cannot understand how can u fall in love in seconds or days to someone u DONT KNOW! i truely believe love needs time to happen atleast atleast a week of sitting with each other atleast 5 hours a day

love from first sight or what ever is more like Crush not LOVE!
that is what i think

as they say "easy come, easy go"

sometimes one moment of seeing that person can garuntee that i will get obsessed whenever that person is around !do u think this is love!?:think:

coming to talk about love!

which love u mean?

there is this love when u trust the person with ur secret bank account/ all ur savings and every deposite.

there is love which u can leave the world even ur own family just to be around them and go away to another country to marry!

there is love that u sacrafice ur studies, ur youth just to be by their side!

some can love but not trust!

others love so much but still cannot leave!

i DID ask if crushes count ya know ! :bored:
i guess i meant crush NOT love though they are KINDA the same thing to me ! :p

there is love that u sacrafice ur studies, ur youth just to be by their side!



Hehehe, unfortunately no man has been worth that much as yet! :p

i dont think there EVER will be a man or a woman worth doing as much as that ! :)

does crushes count ?
No, I'm not talking about crushes/infatuations/etc.
I'm talking about the real deal, if such a thing even exists.

loooooooool interesting thread libellula...well for me, it's not very easy for me to fall in love but when i do, i know it's for real :)..could take years! haha

We want it, we want to believe it, so we create it! :bored:

it takes me 5 years to "think about" falling in love
but it takes me 5 seconds to fall in hateful hate!

lols, i used 2 think that it'll take years:XD:
nah i guess this is a hard thing 2 decide or know! Crushes happen all time 2 loads of us and it's hard to tell at the begining till you find the right person who you feel and see that you got alot in common and know that you are in love with! When you say "I love you" you mean it too cos you can feel the other person's feelings *he/she loves you 2* awwww, isn't it romantic?!

I guess yes time is important cos you need it 2 know the other person and it's important 2 decide what's next.:flower:

I guess it's also about luck cos there are people who knew each other in short period of time but still it all worked hunky dorry 4'em! It's kinda complex I guess:os

but there are those REALLY strong serious crushes that COULD get developed into the real deal,dont you think ? :)

I need time to get to know the person, if I knew him from be4 then it'll take less time. I can't really say weeks or months..it could happen instantly.

Several months to a year or two. I don't think I have ever been in love. Hmm, but I propose it would take about 8 months or so, if I knew this person very well previously.

It really depends on how deep it is necessary for you to know the person. If you care about so many details then it'll take you months, but if you care about his basic background and what his personality is like, then a few weeks.

I think I need to know someone quite well first. I think a lot of the time we can confuse the attraction or initial chemistry or spark for love. Usually, you know if you two "click" the right way within a matter of days or weeks, but I think it takes months of getting to know someone, discovering all their flaws, and still accepting them despite those shortcomings.

I'd say it would take a few months to a year. The only time it'd be shorter, would be if you're friends with someone beforehand or you know them and are quite close to them, and then you might fall for them quicker.

Depend to which definition of LOVE we are talking here .. It also depend on the person whos falling in love .. It could be months could be years ..

Short time love , Never thought of something like this .. Instead , I call crush more than love ..

You can fall for anyone anytime anywhere (as in just a crush), but there's always this one person who can sweep you off your feet. And I've got to know that person inside out, skin deep before I seriously fall in love with him.

That's the most interesting thread ever by the lovely Libby :p

For me, I fall in love ever so quickly. It takes me hours to fall in love, oh poor me :( My heart is like a bird's heart, very tiny one. :'(

I only fell in love Once and it happened pretty quickly...didn't take much time once I got to know the person. Don't know how long it will take the next time..I guess it all depends on how much you 'click' with the person.

Love can happen very quickly or takes time. But I think when it takes time to develop, like you know each other, you respect, understand one another, and ultimately love one another, then you have a stronger foundation and the relationship can last. Whilst I think if it was in just a few days, it does not have a strong foundation, so if anything goes wrong, you can fall out of it, as fast as you fell into it.

Not really. Having or building a strong foundation has nothing to do with love. You could fall in love very quickly yet it does not mean any bad. You may be lucky enough to meet a very sincere and gentle guy whom you may have no chance again to meet with. The key behind a strong foundation is the maturity itself, in my opinion. Of course, the longer this thing be, the more mature it becomes. But this is only about the love itself. To be more clear, you could have a very strong relationship or foundation and yet you're not in love.

"fall in love" and "I love you" are two different things. The latter is the complete package, whereas, the first one is just the start. When I fall in love with you, that would most likely mean I admire you or I like you, even I enjoy your company. I fall in love with you from the first moment we touch our hands or from the first moment I see you, etc..

Personally, I hate "Love".. Once you're in real love, you don't wanna leave however cruel it may feel from time to time.. or however doubtful you or your partner or even love itself can become.. Because being pushed out of love feels so horrible that I cannot think of any word that could possibly describe it..

Being in love is very tasteful punishment, being out of it is just something evil.. plain evil.

oh my, my.

i don't know..whats a crush and whats love? ..i think it takes awhile distinguishing whether its love or a mere infatuation! so obviously it takes long..

'cause crushes fade away in awhile..if it doesn't fade then it's love! :angel:
so i guess yeah..

i had zillions of Crushes :p
but when it comes to the real thing..I'd say Months.

^ yeah me 2, countless crushes ..
but never been in love, I am just too young to fall in love :angel:

I am guessing there isn't an actual time date etc..
it's how well you get along with the person and how comfortable you guys are.

Ummm.. A week?:D
If you only talk to that person during that week..and only see his\her face.. I think it's enough
