How long does it take for you to be truly in love? Can you find yourself in love in say... less than 2 months?

Do you believe in love at first sight?



Just askin'. *bats eyelashes innocently just like KC* (yes dolly, I'm a copy cat. :kiss: )

1.) How long? Hard to say exactly as it varies.

2.) I can find myself in love in less than 2 months, yes every time.

3.) Lust at first sight, attraction or revulsion at first sight, yes but love, not at all.

I have a feeling you have a reason for asking. *smiles*

Fury :rose:
 
2 months...yup that was about it :D

and I agree with fury, lust, attraction, repultion can all happen at first sight, but love, I think real love takes a bit longer.

The Impressive Clergyman: So tweasure your wuv.
 
I knew I was in love with her 2 seconds after I saw her. And 7 years later I still love her more everyday.

I'm a believer.

OMG.. and I started to name this thread TWUE WUV. I had the same scene from the same movie, in my head when I started this thread.

Jesus, we do think alike sometimes. It's almost scary.

That is my favorite movie of all time! I love Carol Kane's character!!

" [A withered lady storms into the room]

Valerie: Liar! Liar! Liar!

Miracle Max:Get back, witch!

Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife, but after what you
just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that
anymore.

Miracle Max:You never had it so good.

Valerie: True Love, he said "True Love", Max."

To answer the question.. Yes, I believe that you can fall in love within 2 months... and I believe in a first sight connection.. not sure that I would call it "love" though.

I don't believe in love at first sight. I believe in true lust - and sometimes that blossoms into 'true love' (and that's why some people believe in true love). Love requires that you know someone. You might 'love' someone, but if you were to find out that they were, say, a pedophile, or caught them in bed with. . . your mother, I bet suddenly that 'love' would evaporate. Knowing someone's not a pedophile or a cheat is something that takes time to know.

And there's my point. There's a difference between "being in love" and actually loving another person... especially one you've only known online and for only a couple of months.

But I'm sure there will be those who have known and loved their online PYL/pyl (does anyone know how hard it was for me to type that? AA...) for 6 months and will kick the chair out from under me.

Or try to.
 
Yeah, I think that love grows. You can love a person in two months, but your love will be deeper and more lasting the longer it's there. It's harder for when something happens to a relationship of two years than it is a relationship of two months, even if you love the person.

Or think you do. ;-)
 
For me personally I have to both admire and pity someone before I consider myself to love them, so that makes love at first sight impossible because someone can't seem admirable and pitiable at the same time. But less than a month, if I get to spend a lot of time with them.

Well, I'm not going to argue with a person on whether they love someone. I don't think you can truelly love someone after two months, but I'm not in the person 'in love', and can't tell them how they're feeling.

Or at least I try not to tell them what they're feeling. :p

I think you missed my point here doll. Or I was too vague... which is I'm sure the real problem...

Actually I was probably being dense. It's been known to happen. On occasion. Once in a while. Well, rarely. :p

You should hear me pronounce that if you think its funny already........I haven't seen the movie .........so I read the lines outloud to make sense of them ( I thought ) .......then got a bad case of the giggles.

Now re twu luv ummmmn .........laughs.......trying to keep it straight here but its plainly not easy for me as 'twu luv'............ :D

I really will try to say something sage like when I settle down a little Miss ADR I promise ........smiles

(btw I am busy perving on hands in google currently)

Suuuuuuuure. And we're not going to get anyone on here who doesn't understand your sense of humor and won't get upset.

I mean, seriously, you have bad luck with the overly-serious (that's pc for needs to chill out). I think they're attracted to you like metal to a magnet. *shakes head*

I predict that tomorrow one of the overly-serious is going to wake up, read this thread AND FLIP OUT.

Dolly, I said it right here, a couple of posts back:

But I'm sure there will be those who have known and loved their online PYL/pyl (does anyone know how hard it was for me to type that? AA...) for 6 months and will kick the chair out from under me.

Yep.. you're right Grace... they will come in here and try real hard to knock me on my ass. We'll see how well they can do it... LOL

Yep, you sure did. And they sure will. *shrugs*

I think I'll stay over here with rebecca where it's safe. If you need backup, lemme know. I gotcha back, babe.

Hey, becca? Want some popcorn while we watch people defend their 'true love' with their dying breath?

Can you explain what you mean by pity? This is a new idea to me.
 
I'm sure the answer can be yes. After all, I would look stupid if I said it was not possible given my reality, and then there is my conservative, sensible, play safe sister who is 9 years older than me and in her 20's fell in love with her husband at first sight and was engaged after only a couple of dates (he was in the army and based in another state so dates were not plentiful)...and was pre-online days so wasn't that daily communication either....she was a virgin on her wedding night 18 months later and they have been married about 33 years now, no affairs for either of them and still go out to dinner and away for a romantic weekend for their birthdays, anniversaries and regularly throughout the year. Think it depends on the people, their knowledge of themselves, and maturity to a degree....if someone is an airhead who is also given to mistaking lust for love, perhaps it is not possible with lasting results, but for some of us, we just know when we are hit by that lightning bolt that happens only once (or twice for some) in a lifetime. :catroar:
