If this is true, why the heck do men run from whatever it is they are feeling??

Not all men do. I always shared my feelings with my partner, it's called communication. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I believe in talking about problems and feelings with the one you love.

I believe there is a difference...... at the beginning of a relationship I think its more lust then love.....the love part comes after you learn stuff about each other..... Lust is more fun then love.... Dont ask me to define lust....its too hard to do.

On the other hand, I knew my husband only 2 months before we were married....that was almost 2 years ago now......

(Msg 99) "If it is too good to be true, it probably is" - this seems to be a very common idea now-a- days. I have seen people make this a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have seen people sabotage a wonderful relationship because they believe "If it is too good to be true, it is".


So true. The person who declares their love is constantly tested by the other until they finally leave and then the other person says, "See, I told you. They never really loved me."


For those that believe there must be something wrong with someone if they fall in love with you quickly - maybe it is you that don't believe that you are worthy of someone falling in love with you.


Well put! The problem is not with the person who knows they are in love. The problem lies with the other person who doesn't feel it themselves or constantly doubts the person who is in love.

My partner and I purchased a home together less than six months after we met, less than six months after we knew each other existed. I was told I was rushing things. I replied, "I know how I feel. The question is how do you feel?" That was 10 years ago and we're still going strong.

It seems people downplay and temper their feelings. They kill the natural momentum a relationship has in the beginning and the opportunity is lost forever. That special time, that time when two people merge their lives with the help of chemistry, is squandered. Rather than going along with their feelings and making adjustments under the euphoria of a new love they end up destroying the relationship. They analyze until the beauty and wonder fades along with the love.

RAZ49, if only we where gays of the same age!!!!

Communication is a good key
Most of the time it takes seconds or 2-3 minutes

I don't know how people do to keep all the frustrations for weeks...
Must be very frustrating to be frustrated for details...

To keep in the tread
Men can begin to fall in love after a couple minutes..

If you let one of those pass, he'll probably forget you within a couple of weeks..maybe days

That happened to me, and I found out he was a lying to me, cheating, and playing games with my head, so I wouldnt fall for any guy who professes love so quickly ever again.

Complicated stuff!
Is it love? Is it something else?
Will it last or won't it. It seems that nobody really knows do they? It is actually quite amazing that despite the fact that many of us here are quite intelligent, reasonable people, yet we become completely blind when it comes to matters of the heart. We've all fallen in love before and we've all been burned. Chances are, we may go through it again, but the truth is that it's worth it.
And so the search continues...

Well I just wanted to say, aside from the hundreds of possibilities in this issue, you've gotta go with what you feel, instinctively you might not know for sure, but inside you'll know that love = trust. If you put your trust in him that he's being honest. You might be risking your emotions, but you might also be building a stronger relationship as well... Don't just weigh the possibilities, somethings must be done with faith. At least thats how I see it. Good luck!

I think it all depends on the individual connection, You can vibe with a person and the chemistry can just be there, don't ever let time, race, color, age, money get in the way of something that can trully be a blessing.

I know I did for the first time ever so I ran away. Sort of Sucks the first time I fall for a guy he doesn't fall for me fast. I'm glad I didn't move back for him

It saddens me, that such a normal thing, makes you so paranoid. Obviously, you
have been very hurt in the past, to be so hard-hearted & suspicious. From the way
you describe the 2 of you, it sounds like he is just more in touch with his feelings
& more open & honest. Perhaps he has not been burned as much, or has learned to
heal, without becoming hard-hearted.

You are very lucky.

How about one date, I know a friend that had one date with a girl he had meet. He asked her after three hours of talking to marry him. A month later they married and 12 years later, with two kids are as happy as they were the day they met.

Truer words were never spoken
I think we all fall in lust quickly but love takes alittle more time


We bandy the word love around so easily these days, it seems people are falling into and out of something every time you turn around. If people realized that the butterflies in the belly syndrome isn't true love, but some precursor to what might be, then maybe people would be less disillusioned about matters of the heart.

Love is something that builds and forms after many many shared experiences, love at 1st sight may very well be a true love start up, but only after a lengthy period of time can it be called love in the proper sense

Just my 2 cents, feel free to leave the change on the counter

it is possible, but rare. I can honestly say I was in love with my ex-wife within a couple of weeks of meeting. But then she is also my "ex" wife, so maybe that didn't work out as planned then, did it?

Before that there were none that I had feelings for that quickly (other than lust of course).

No. Men fall into lust quickly with women that are very attractive. Love comes further down the road if ever.

Hmmm...Why not? I've heard of people falling in love after a couple of beers! Seriously, though. Men can be swept off their feet the same as women. Love at first sight is a naturally occurring phenomena that affects both sexes. The difference is; Men normally hide their feelings and are more cautious about proclaiming them out of fear their love is not reciprocated. Rejoice! You've found someone courageous enough to be honest about how he feels. Besides....what's wrong with a whirlwind romance? You're not afraid to fly, are you?
