There is no written rule involving a time frame and love, it is as individual as those involved.
What you think you see and what you experience are completely different and no one knows for fact the true relationship between others.

Even if one or both parties wasn't really into the other person being coupled up was seen as being better than single. I also think that my ex and I weren't very compatible. Anyways I learned my lessons from that and I have to say being single is way better than being in a relationship that is all wrong for you.
Like, more likely to stay together longer. I think it was that if it makes it to 3 months (I guess by then you get a good enough sense of the other person to see if you really like them, and if it's going to work), then it usually lasts at least a year. But yes, I've known those same people who were with someone for 5+ years...so yes, I know that things can not work out, but still have been love.

My wife and I had been appropriate workplace friends for five years when I first asked her out for a bit of a day trip. There had never been even a hint of romance and we'd only ever seen one another at work, never eaten a meal together or exchanged personal phone numbers, etc. We had simply enjoyed our conversations over those years which were primarily job related.

After having spent about four hours together outside of the office for the first time on that day trip we both fell in love so that would be my response to the OP's question. We were married two months later.

It seemed like it was happening in just a few minutes, but it really took a whole hour for everything to click together.

I'm just curious, because I've heard that if it lasts 3 months, then it usually works out. I just don't see many relationships that last 6-7 months. Usually it seems they're either 1-3 months, or over a year.
Huh? Where on earth would you hear such nonsense, and even then, why would you believe it? Do you not know any real-life couples? No family??

If that's the case, I'd think you could have at least spelled his name correctly. And that is not old or even close to it.
