Is it possible to fall in love with someone after mearly a week of knowing them? OR Is it simply a process? Can the process start after mearly a week?
it depends on your definition of love. personally, i believe that it's possible to love anybody at any time, with any amount of attachment to them. i believe there are simply different levels of love. this is what confuses so many people in relationshis, this matter of "love or not"... i have no doubt that i've loved most people i've met in my life, though all on different levels. i can walk down the street and love a complete stranger. peace, (& love!) sophia
yes, though i think most people consider "love at first sight" to mean feeling an extremely deep and personal love for a person one doesn't know... i don't agree with that definition. like i said, i believe there are different levels, and it is completely possible to feel love towards someone you don't yet know personally, and have that love grow deeper and more intimate as real knowledge of one another grows deeper. glad to hear you've found love, gg.. peace, sophia
In all honesty, I think that about 99% of all those "love at first sight" cases are lust, not love. Hormones rampaging. Not to say it doesn't happen, but it's much rarer than movies portray, or than people say.
I think you can *start* to love someone after knowing them a short time, but if it's the real thing, I think that love begins to grow a lot deeper... it changes, you know??
sounds like infatuation... wich i guess is just as good as "love" because in a way, you do love your current and probably extremely skewed image of the person and no matter how well you get to know someone, you'll never really know them. in my experience, you'll think they are the light of your multiverse and in a few months of spending time with them, you'll realize you're wrong and change your mind. ...
I think you can start to love someone after only knowing them for a short peroid of time, but it is the early stages of love, not full blown in love. I remember I felt very different about Erik when I first met him, and even after we moved out together we didn't love each other, but in that time that we were on our own together the love grew into what it is now.
I don't think I would describe it as love after a week... You can feel some majorly intense feelings for some people when you first meet them... But Truely love them.. I dont think so... I belive in lust and infatuation at first site... But Love I would have to say no...
If you're like me, yes it is possible. cos falling for someone fast is my middle name. I really do care for whoever it is I am with.
My goal is old shoe love (comfortable, a little bit worn at times but known and appreciated) I think I could do that but I can never get past that whole initial meeting thing
Hmm, I can honestly say that I fell in love with my boyfriend after only knowing him for a week or two. It was the most perfect connection right from the beginning. So yeah, my opinion from experience is that it can definitely happen...
me and my girl fell in love at first sight, and we've been together for a long time and were getting married soon. and our baby will be born soon too!
i think if you're going to have something good with someone, its there as soon as you meet them. in those next few weeks, the human flaws either destroy possibility, or are defeated, and you get to enjoy as much time as you can with them, until.... something else happens.
I think that if it takes you more than a week to love a person, it's prob'ly not even real love. People are making such a big deal of this whole "in love" business... "in love" just means love+lust, and nothing more. You're cheating yourselves if you think there's more to it. And the regular kind of love is what people tend to call "true friendship" these days. A feeling of strong affection towards a person, and caring about her/him. So, can you feel lust for a person from only a week of knowing them? Obviously. Can you feel affection/friendship? I think so. Why not, really? You can usually tell what a person is like from 20 minutes of talking to them. If you're good at this, you don't even have to talk.
