What I consider love only happens over time after getting to know the person, and after revealing more and more of myself to the person, knowing each other at a deep level.
What he/she said. I think there can be a definite click with someone right away and certainly you know pretty quickly if you are attracted to each other, but I agree that love is something that happens over time. Sometimes it can happen pretty quickly, like over a few weeks but not love at first sight.

Two or three beers, depending on how much I had to eat earlier in the day.

Unlike most women who post their views on this on this site, I believe in giving people a chance to grow on you. However, I have found that as time goes on, I am even less inclined to fall in love with them. Perhaps you are on to something.

My feeling WAS that if women weren't willing to give men a chance to get over their initial jitters and find their footing, then the only ones who would ever be loved were those with the superficial attributes and resulting confidence that made them desirable from the first minute. Then, once the hormones are flowing, they can overlook a lot of negatives.

Which time? I fall in love again with my wife pretty much every day for one reason or another.

When we first met, It was probably two or three weeks, but we dated intensely, after the frist week or so, we were together most of every day.

Befor emeeting my wife, I was in love twice. Always qucikly. With me it was always right away or not at all. I dated one gal for two years and never fell in love with her. I just liked her a lot. It wsa there or not going to happen almost right away. Other people are different.

I think people can be extremely fatuated at first sight but I think true love takes time.

It takes me a really long time. I can be 'in like' within a matter of days, though.

My husband told me he knew I was the woman he was going to marry within 5 minutes after meeting me. He says he fell in love with me at first sight.
