Love
 

Do you think it's possible to fall in love with someone after seeing them for less than a week?

I don't know what it is about this girl but I can't shake her from my thoughts. We're not even together. My sister thought we were since I like her and she likes me. I was questioning using the "L" word to describe how I felt about her, then my sister asked me if I was in love with her. (Not in a joking way she was serious) And now, I just don't know.

I've known her for awhile now, but I've only seen her in person for a grand total of like 3-4 days.

But in those 3-4 days she was completely amazing. Not that I think she's perfect I know she's not, but, I don't know.


What do you guys think?

I know this topic is pretty lame. Mostly I just needed a place to write it all out, vent the confusion, but I'm hoping someone will respond with some speck of wisdom for me.

Thanks.

I think it's certainly possible to fall in love with someone even after just meeting them.

As strange as it sounds, it's gut instinct. You just feel like you have a connection with that person.

What exactly do you mean by "you've known her for a while but have known her in person for a few days?" Have you talked to her online or somewhere else before?

My advice to you is to get to know her even more than you already do, maybe ask her to hang out sometime, etc? Just to make sure of your feelings for her. If you too act normally around each other, you know you've got something good. It's okay to be nervous!

That's what I did with a boy I've known from school...began to like him, became his friend, asked to see him one day, and we've begun dating ever since. <3

If all goes well, ask her out! You've nothing to lose, but so much to gain =] Best of luck!

Eh, definitions of love vary so much that it's kind of silly to ask others if what you're feeling is love, don't you think? If you can't stop thinking about her, describe her as completely amazing, and really want to be around her, then I say that qualifies as love. Time is nothing to the heart, it's said.

Anyway, I think sorami has good advice-- if you guys are friends first, your relationship is looking at much better chances in the future.

My answer is always if you have to ask, you're not really in love.
From my experience there isn't really any questioning that needs to be done, you just know.

And I really don't think you can fall in love with someone after a week.. I mean, I just don't think you can truly love someone that you barely even know.

I agree with the last two posters. I knew I was crazy for my boyfriend even just two days after I'd met him. It wasn't love though, not then. It took a couple more months, a lot of other things happening before we were really "in love".
You can be deeply in like with the possibility for love, but love doesn't just HAPPEN. ;) Chemistry happens, which it sounds like you have. Go for it would be my advice ^___^

Okay, thanks for all the input guys.

I think I know that I'm not in love with her now. I think it's.. I don't know. There's only one other person I've ever felt like this with. And with that person it was like I knew I would fall in love with them from the beginning but it wasn't something I could explain it was a "gut feeling" as Sorami said.

Anyway, thanks all, it helps to hear what other people think.

oh what I meant by, "known her for a while but only seen her in person for like 3-4 days is that I've know her since the beginning of June, that's when I met her, but I only ever saw her for a total of like 4 days in the period of time since.
