The question would be can anyone fall in love after a couple of weeks? And as most of the replyers have stated--the answer is "no". It is just an atrraction of the eye--a lust of the flesh. However, Agent86, you are quite goodlooking. Contact me sometime soon and let's see if you can answer your own question. Ha!

I'd give it more time hun...wait till you know he's got both feet planted on the ground, and his head isn't still spinnin'...it might work, it might not...what's it gonna hurt to stay involved, but let your head be your guide, and not your heart, or your hormones...

guys often get love and lust emotions mixed up, dont offer too much of your inner self too quick,if he does indeed love you he will have patience and if he doesnt the signs will soon show through.

Tell you what, Tarahell, first of all, you are a SPITFIRE! My question would be, How could the guy NOT fall in love with you? Sure, it cannot yet be with the whole of you but only what he has seen and either intuited or imagined.

Anyway, what's the point of you asking? It's not as if the guy has offered to sell you land somewhere in the Far East... You're having too much fun together to be questioning it. I'd guess that the real point behind this thread is your desire to say Wha-hoo! I've met this guy and I'm over the freaking top!

So go with it... and keep us posted.

he has not said he is love with me just that he is mad about me


Your slavic guy will indeed be very honest. So, until he looks you in the eyes and uses the "L" word, I would be very careful. I know exactly how you feel right now. *sigh* But I never got the "L" word either. Be careful. I truly hope this works out for you!

Yes, I believe both men and women can fall in love within a couple of weeks. But, as you probably know, sometimes the initial infatuation wears off and you realize that it wasn't meant to be afterall. I agree with being cautiously optimistic, as I have had this happen to me in the past, we broke up, but then 6 months later realized we were right for each other, unfortunately he passed away this year. Relationships do take time, but hey, you're off to a good start and enjoying each other's company right?

Take care and best of luck.

It's not love.. its lust


Love takes time... preferably a lot longer than just a few weeks

well, i dont know the answer to this one.. ive had 2 people after me and both of them have been madly in love with me and the thing is they mean it.. REALLY mean it.. dont get me wrong i love clingyness it just seems a little strange as i met someone a few weeks ago of the net, weve never met in person but he started telling me he loves me within a matter of hours, when i was busy trying to ask him what makes him feel like this he would instantly get in a mood.. sometimes i dont understand men :-(.. xx

Why would you run away if he was irish? Why because he is European do you believe what he is saying?

I live in England and can tell you at the end of the day the guy who might capture my heart will not be pre-judged on where he originates from or where he lives now.

Too much happens today whereby the media dictate what a certain colour or background dictates their past or indeed just from previous relationships people are blind and as the old saying goes woman/men "tar people with the same brush".

I was happy for 11 years with an Italian........yes it all went Pete Tong, but hey wouldn't stop me from speaking or dating another Italian in the future.

The worold is huge, lets treat people by who they are and their virtues in life.

Miss Tarahellgirl,

Of course men fall in love quicker, men fall in love over pictures they see, they want the poor girls baby within 5 minutes. It’s pretty sad. Women fall in love much slower; just ask yourself this question, who is this guy? Do I know anything about him? Have I met him? Remember what goes up (love at first sight) must come down (interest level twirling in the toilet). Take your time, figure out whom this guy is and proceed with caution. Personally I'm not a big fan of guys who make it to easy for women by telling them exactly how they feel all the time.

Jlazzz advice

Hell yes, it really depends on the chemistry, the amount of time you've spent together. I just about did in one week. But it wasn't mutual. If it's mutual and can be felt by both, then hell yes.

Anything is possible....I agree with Bonnie, we are visual creatures, and if it's true love the details will be worked out down the road...communication is vital....Knowledge speaks, Wisdom listens.

I will offer a little on this topic.

More just my own dealings or thoughts
I have ran into women that were so close to someone I had thought about that similar thoughts came to mind however I was finally able to realize it was the woman in my mind that she was close to which was the one the feelings were felt for. The one in real life was just so close that maybe the emotions kinda split and focused on her which it was easy to adjust and fix after knowing why.

So I would not think too much into it OP maybe just tell him to put the brakes on and if he does not then I would offer you this advice

It is time for a back ground check.......both criminal and other types

maybe he is the type that preys on women that are lonely and mistook something you said as that type

as far as it being possible..... well my ex wife and I went on 1 date spent for hours together and were together every single day for 5 years after that day. so yeah it can happen but not likely to happen esspecially if it is not mutual.......Keep your eyes open for signs he may want something from you.

It can take years to find someone that rocks ur world, and yep u can think ur in love,
but id hold that thought for quite a while before i said anything, cos it dont take long for the wind to change half the time.... so better to be safe than sorry and just enjoy a good thing whilst it lasts

I've done it, and the results haven't gone well.

To be honest, I've suffered many emotional effects coming from a broken family where neither of my parents really met any of my emotional needs.

So in my case, the "love" came from emotional starvation.

That was part of the reason I got married quickly... Only in this case both of us still care deeply for each other, as friends.

So we divorced, and stay in touch.

I'm not going to be in a hurry any more.

I honestly don't know......but then I now question things I used to believe.
When I met my ex I felt from the start that she COULD be the one.
As it turned out....I did fall in love with her, but she was obviously not
my "soul mate" since her feelings were not as strong or long lasting and
we've been divorced for years! Sooooo......I don't know if I fell in love
with her instantly but the attraction was stronger than it was with any
other woman I'd met........I've also met women I just liked more and more
as we spent time together. I guess there are no set rules.
HHhhmmmm......I realize this will be absolutely no help to you!

thee problem is there is alot of guys who would lie about this to get into ur pants .....but not all of them ...at least i know im not one of them lik a met this great girl and in 2 weeks i knew i had feelings for her so i told here so she started actin funny for a couple of days then stopped talkin to me (but i was really honest) .......to make short , some guys do fall in love fast others fake to get to you so use your own instinct but give him a chance and test him on it

good luck

Okay, maybe if you ask yourself these questions and can say that you can do this for him in the future, you should have a chance OP.

I wrote this to a friend describing what I am looking for in the future with a man.

In a relationship, I want to love with all my heart, soul and mind. I want to take my vows if I ever give them again, to have (meaning I will take him as mine), to hold (only him), honor (no matter what, even if it means compromise), forsaking all others (never to be with anyone again, EVER), till death do us part, and only until death and maybe not even then. I want someone that I can take care of when he needs me, a partner, a best friend, my lover, and one that I can understand, and accept if I cannot understand, but at least try to. I want to him to know that no matter what I am there to aid him, when he is sick, and old, I want to hand feed him for his nourishment, and God forbid, if he has to wear diapers later, I will change them and clean him up, wipe the drool from his mouth and do this all gently without bringing embarrassment to him or for him to lose his dignity. I want to hold his old hands even they quiver uncontrollably and steady his steps.

Hope that helps you.

You wrote that so beautiful, it almost gives me some hope. Yes i do believe a man can fall in love after a couple of weeks. It happened to my husband, he tells me he fell in love with me the first time he s seen me. He was friends with one of my cousins. He called me and set up a date. Wanted me to move in after the third date and asked me to marry him 2 weeks thereafter. I ve been married 26 years, but am currently seperated. But it has nothing to do with another woman, its just that its not working out for us. My husband has extreme anger and hate problems . He is probably the biggest woman hater on earth. There is nothing that can be done. I ve tried my best for 26 years.

Yes, in a heart beat.

That is the sad thing about the internet, some we would fall for immediately, we will never meet because the chemistry wasnt there , so we ruled them out.

Dating is getting to much like shopping for a new car. We check for the best prices, compromise for what we want and what we need. Love shouldnt be like that. It should be exciting, heart stomping , trembling!

LOL, see a jag and just buy it! Alas though, we compare, wait, think, realize a mini van is more reasonable, then buy into that. Such a bloody waste of the greatest gift God gave us I think, love should be immediate!
