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.
Works out how? They get married? They have a long relationship? There have been many relationships that made it past the three month mark and fizzled. I have seen a few relationships last 6-7 months. I had one myself that only lasted 6 months. In the cases I saw (myself included) the couples only got together because they just wanted to be in a relationship. 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.
I was just wondering...if it's because of something specific, or the people just weren't compatible, or if it was just that it wasn't love?
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??
I'm in love with Keene Reeves even though he is old like me.
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.
