How long does it take you to fall in love with someone?

Me, I am a fairly quick mover. I reckon I can fall in love with someone in about 2 weeks flat.

What about you?

A minute, girl


!!!!!!!


Hello!

I've missed you, yes. Along with about 30-40 other people. So I've decided to come back on a trial basis. It doesn't mean I'm a fully-fledged loser again yet, but the signs are looking good.


There are intrusive adverts

annoying screen refreshers and the login bit is stuck away in some random location.
Great as it is to see you back, piggy, I don't think you'll like it here!


ps:

xxxx


You forgot tyo mention the continuous jibber jabber of idiots

But actually, that's part of the attraction...


It's the people, not the place.

That's what I always say. Frankly, there are people on here with whom I'd enjoy spending time in a ditch with broken legs.


Hello there!

welcome back


Hello!

I have to go to work now, but I'll be back soon because it's not really a proper job but I'm proud of myself anyway!

Bye! Love you.

I knew i'd be beaten to that

but i didn't think it'd be you who beat me there!


OMG!


Instantly.

Love you x

^most sensible answer

you STILL watching south park?! get to the park


waiting for the shower now.

eating clusters out of the box and listening to pavement. i feel loads better!


THERE YOU GO!!!!!

mmmmmmm are they crunchy nut clusters?get a steak in you


they're almondy.

and have 3 free football stickers in them! no steak, haven't eaten meat in a lonnnng while now.


i want footy stickers :(

who are the players?why not meat?


haha

1 date....i m pretty bad


also quite quick

i would prefer if it took longer really


I have no idea

it hasn't happened often enough to generate a large enough sample from which to draw conclusions.

So, in summary- 5 pints?


nice one


Well, I've only ever realised that I 'love' someone

way after it has probably happened. I don't think you can define exactly when it is, or differenciate between that new feeling of a relationship, or stronger feelings.


i've fallen in love..

within the space of a week... actually it was probably a day...

Although sometimes it takes a lot longer. really depends on the person and how your relationship develops. every experience is different.


in love? a long time....

in lust?...very quickly....


I've fallen in love with someone with 3 seconds before.

But that quite quickly faded. Depends how you define love.

In the more meaningful kind of love definition I don't think I've ever fallen in love.


^ my record is about 3 hours or something.

not love or such just had feelings for. i dunno! it's hard to draw the line.


It took me about 3-4 months

and I thought that was quick


i don't really know

doesn't love last a maximum of 4 years?


not if you put it in the fridge

..can go an extra year or so past the 'best before' date.


they should make velcro bras

speed things up a bit.


^

classy man.


Aye

The Chandler/Monica thing was way too sudden to be plausible.


ha

i actually meant, friendship love.
i embark on whirlwind romances wwhen i make new friends


i only do love at first sight

otherwise i'm not interested.


I don't really see it that way

Do you mean from the first time you tell them or something? Because as far as I can tell, I started falling in love with my girlfriend the moment I met her, and I'm still falling in love with her now.

*pukes*


:D


i'm seriously considering using

the 'report this' function.
;)


don't worry

he admitted to me at the weekend that he regularly beats her up.


phew!


PHEW


cuthbert


dibble


and


barney


mcgrew!


it took about five seconds with your mum

she was crap at blowjobs though so i sacked her.


Depends how you define love.

I can have strong feelings for someone very quickly, even the first time I meat someone. I wouldn't say I was in love with them though.


who you MEATing then?!

do you want some of my pork sword?!


pretty fast

i guess.

probably more like 2 months of so before i start going "oh shit, hang on i think i'm in love??"


by the way

this thread has made me think about stuff and made me realise i'm well in love with someone. 4 months this time...


I

proposed to my wife after about 2 months of us getting together, although I'd known her for about 10 years prior to that...


less than a month

always.


Depends on the person

But never under 6 months in my experience.


it depends really

with me it can take a few moments to several months. and for me, being in love is not the same as loving someone.


this thread is making me wish i was in love again.

with me, depends on the person. generally a few months, but once in a really intense relationship it happened within two weeks. that freaked me out a little.

i don't think it's been real love every time though.

aak this is way too soppy.


Not to sound patronising but

are the people who are claiming to have fallen in love with someone after a short space of time (a couple of hours, days or weeks) confusing love with lust?

I always thought that being in love meant, literally, doing anything for that person and wanting to be with them more than anyone else. The cynic in me says that that couldn't be the case after such a short time.

I think i've been in love once, but i still think about a few girls I only knew for a brief time quite often. That's mainly becasue i thought they were incredibly hot though more than anything.


with me it's only happened that fast once

and i think it was to do with already knowing him before we got together, which obviously cuts out a lot of the "getting-to-know-you" time from the equation.

i'm pretty sceptical of anything under a few months though. i have been quite distrusting of anyone who claimed to love me after such a short time in other cases.


you can most certainly

meet someone and think 'christ, they are lovely and i want to do anything for them to make them want to be with me as much as i want to be with them'. Lust probably accompanies that, but the things aren't mutually exclusive are they. No.


the one time ive ever felt like i was in love

was after a long weekend with a boy i met at reading festival last year.

so three days.
cor
pretty quick


looking back

it was lust definatly

but at the time...


About the length of time

It takes any girl to put a guitar strap around her neck (preferably with a guitar on the other end of it).


Is it better to fall in love with someone straight away

or gradually over a longer period- lets say 2 or 3 months?


the disappointment will be more gradual

if you take longer to fall in 'love'


Bah

I don't have the patience for that.


i'd prefer it to take longer...

because you have less chance of getting hurt..


oh yeah

it is only a chemical reaction in the first six months

you have sex and the oxytocin you produce bonds you

and then six months to a year later you don't find them so attractive, but then you are just more attached to them. that is 'love'

Personally, it took about a year to really like my first proper boyfriend a lot. Falling in MAD LOVE with another boyfriend, took me a month? But that was a mistake.

So I don't know. It's shit either way.


HERE HERE!

shit either way. i concur.


That sounds so clinical

god that's depressing.
I've also got the 90s hit 'What is Love' by Haddaway in my head, on a loop.


apparently it just takes a few posts on an internet forum

and a fetching profile picture to get to me


It depends on the person

Sometimes within a few days and sometimes never. It all depends really.


Anywhere from

a second to a number of years and everything in between
