Posted: 6/5/2006 7:02:10 AM | | If it has never happened to you, your just assuming and probably not qualified to answer. It happened to me and was the best 28 years in my life untill her death a few months back. When, and if it does, you will know and feel it. If it never does you will continue to assume it can not happen. Wish for you it might happen. Take care | |

It may be possible that you happened to meet a person with whom you can grow to love, and to love more.
But to say that you love her when you know - rather, BARELY know her, in around one week or less...that's bullshit. And I never said that love can't happen. Of course it can.
Like I said, with the exception of parental love, love don't come with sparks and fireworks in the spur of a heated moment. One grows into love. | |

Posted: 6/5/2006 10:05:55 PM | Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects. It always trusts,
always hopes, always perserveres. Love never fails.

Posted: 6/5/2006 11:04:54 PM | You really have to wait for the chemical changes in your brain to die down. When you get that feeling of euphoria and believe that all your dreams have come true at any point for anything (especially love) you really need to stop and take a good long look at the situation otherwise you WILL let YOURSELF down.
The euphoric feelings of love stimulate the same regions of the brain that large amounts of chocolate does. Love may blossom but in one week you don't really know a person do you? You can't. And here is why:
Everyone gets angry. No matter who you are you do. Jesus got angry. Chances are you have not seem him truly angry. Chances are in 1 week you have seen anything except for his charm, wit and other qualities that everyone puts to the forefront in the "I want her/him to like me phase" at the beginning of any relationship.
Love is unconditional. I believe you have to see someone at their absolute worst or lowest in order to truly love them. I know that sounds crazy but everyone has done or will do things that they regret or are not proud of. To truly love someone you have to accept that.
In one week I doubt he has revealed anything to you except rainbows and sunshine. | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 12:26:23 AM | | It is probably lust. True love you have to know a lot about a person and you could be confused with the butterflies, or meeting someone you click well with. Give it time. | |

Posted: 1/23/2008 12:53:37 PM | just follow your heart, it will never lie to you
Hmmm, I dont know about this one. The heart lies all the time. Believe me, sometimes you tell people things, and they twist it so much that, before you know, they are playing these little games without anything actually happening or going on on your part, especially what you tell the ladies. That is why players succeed so much: they tell them what they want to hear and make them feel special, the ladies' hearts start telling their own egos all these fairy tale stories and they already have a family, kids, a home and everything with the player. It is when the player shows his claws, and their heart has lied to them that they realize they've been had, real bad. | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 8:39:26 AM | | I don't know, is it? Around Christmas 07, I met a wonderful gal right here on POF. She messaged me, I didn't find her. In that first week we spent probably over 20 hours on the phone, and felt like we could spend even much more cause we just couldn't and can't today seem to get away from each other, nor do we want to! Soon after I drove to her home to meet after I dropped my son off with his mom, and the feelings have only grown stronger since. We're still spending 2 to 3 hours or more, each and every day, on the phone, and when we're together, all I can say is it's just a magical experience. So do I believe? Yes, of course I do. IF, both people are open to the experience, and if both people truly understand what love actually means! | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 6:22:10 AM | In my view, it might help to get some precision in our terms. I will understand the word 'lust' to mean pure desire for physical sexual activity or intercourse. 'Love' I will understand to mean an ongoing state of emotional affection which desires to unite with the beloved person or object.
I think it is possible to merely lust over someone. This is our animal or instinctual part of us coming up in the form of sexual impulses and it is very common. However I don't think if you lust over someone it means you love that person. I think love is distinguishable from lust. But, I certainly think it is possible to 'lust' over someone in a matter of seconds or minutes.
I think 'love' is somewhat different. I don't believe love 'instantly' occurs in the same way lust does. I think love needs to build up over time, a few days to a week at the very least. However love comes in many differing forms and the type that desires an intimate relationship differs from the type where you love a sibling, child or parent or close friend over many years.
In short, it is possible to lust over someone in minutes, and form love over a week, but I think such bonds formed so quickly can break just as quickly as easily. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 6:33:58 AM | It's possible. Because it's happened to many people.
Is it always forever, or does it often last a short time? All I can say, is that the ones who lasted, that I met, were obvious to everyone. | |

Possible it is, but how much substance does it have?. I dont know.
I say I have developed crushes for ladies that I just saw one time. By the following day, I forget all about them and they are nothing.
Now, when you are with someone for a while and you see all their flaws, their shortcomings and accept them as they are, then you can be on your way to true love. But of course, in today's society, with all the requirements people have in finding their SO's, many people are missing the chance of meeting someone that can make them feel great because they are so busy looking for Ms. or Mr. perfect.
There is a saying in Spanish that, if you try to grab too much at once, then you'll end up with very little. That is what happens to some of us who are too darn picky with the opposite sex. | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 10:26:43 AM | No I don't believe in falling in love right away, it has never happened to me. I have felt attracted to somebody or I was curious about them, but I didn't feel any more than that, because they were a stranger to me, that is all!
And no, I don't have any interest in marrying anyone, I enjoy my singlehood, thank you very much! | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 11:51:43 AM | | Yes I think it is possible, but it is also possible to fall in love over a period of time. I think too many people have this idea it has to be right now. An attraction right now and love grows later. | |
