For those of you who don't get that love at first sight thing and don't believe in that, how long does it take for you to get the feeling of love toward another person?
I am dating someone right now. The relationship is going extremely well. However, we are on different pages on one issue and this is something we have discussed. She IS at the point where she has developed a feeling of loves toward me, whereas I don't feel I am at that stage yet and I will not concede to something I don't feel.
By all means, this doesn't mean that I want to end this relationship. We have only been dating for perhaps 1 month now... and I believe that the feeling of love is something that can be built through time and that one day, in the near future, I will be there. I just know that I really like this person, but it's not the feeling of love yet.
Regardless, what I would like to be brought up in this thread is how long does it take you to develop the love feeling toward another person?
For you, is this something that is developed in weeks, months, or even after a year?
Or perhaps, do you feel love instantly and this love is built on as time goes?
Keep in mind, do not let my suggestions influence your response.
Well if you watched Oprah at all you would not need to be asking all those common sense questions; however, I will help a person in need.
Love should be present at all times. You create it with your thoughts, behaviors, actions, and words. Be loving at all times and encourage your partner to do the same. Do some research into it.
It is different for everyone. Some people honestly aren't looking for real love, they just have lust. I am content with love, I loved my girlfriend almost from the day we started dating. She has been a very amazing person in my life.
One month is a little soon to know whether or not you love someone. In a month, you can know if you're compatible or attracted to someone, but love, I don't think so. I think you can start to have feelings of love in, say, six months, but love takes quite a while to develop. There is no way I would tell someone after only a month that I loved them! No way!
While Phil likes to sit on his throne and eat donuts, I like to go out and create love and be as loving as possible whenever I have the energy that is....

In that sense, then yes, love is very present. I was just never the type of guy that thought something like that should be said this early in a relationship (on my end, anyway).

Well, I have been told. And it's been one month. However, I did not say it back.
Don't you know your own emotions? Be sincere and say I like you and want to continue seeing you; however, love is a strong word and let me use it when I feel like it.
