For me, It takes a while. I'm not one to fall a$$ over tea kettle very easy. I think I got some issues. I don't trust very easy. It takes some time to win my trust. Also, I've got issues with how the great majority seem to want to move to fast. I'm not the type that takes to well to pushy people.Maybe it's just me, I seem to come across women that want to try to lead me around by the nose. I don't take to well to that either. I don't take to well to women who want to try to tell me what I am/am not going to do. I seem to find a lot of women that for some reason unknown to me, Have just got to see if they can get away with trying to boss me around. They usually find out as the door knob is hitting them in the rump, Doesn't work with me. I've even had more than one to try to use sex to get there way with me. Doesn't work either. I think I am going to wind up alone.

Normally ppl fall in love with the wrong person, so we should not idealize the right one

I don't like pushy or controlling people either...Most people put their "best foot forward" in the early stages. So it can take awhile to see "all sides" to someone...I don't like to rush or "be rushed" either. No way!

I don't think anyone likes pushy or controlling people, some are just more willing to be controlled or less able to deal with aggression...In my dating experiences, time constraints or the lack of them were different for each relationship, but the progression was ALWAYS mutually agreed upon....When one or the other starts trying to force things, it's usually the beginning of the end...

Amen! I totally agree with you..I certainly wouldn't want to try to "push" (or guilt-trip) someone into loving me or wanting to be with me...And I don't want to be roped and tied. Or treated like a "hunted-down" and "trapped" animal either...This kind of stuff always backfires in the long run and leads to tons of resentment...Don't you think?

After my first marriage ended I had no plans to get married right away. I was in my middle 20's and just getting my "bearings."...Then I met a "master manipulator" who pulled out all the "punches" to convince me that I had "feelings" for him...He was a well-respected pillar of the community and longtime business owner. Everyone thought he was a "saint" and super-nice man and "great catch!" (Even my parents felt this way and most of my friends!)...My gut feelings told me not to marry him but he just wouldn't "go away" or leave me alone! He sent me huge bouquets of flowers every Friday at work even though I asked him to stop!...So I looked like a "big meanie" and cold and heartless person to my co-workers for not loving him back...He tried to "get" to my sons by showing-up "as dad" with gifts he knew they wanted...To make a long story short I finally "caved-in" out of guilt and out of exhaustion from trying to fight him off...Our marriage was a disaster. After he "won me" he got bored!...The marriage lasted less than a year and was a "sham." It took me years to recover from having 2 "failed marriages" at such a young age.. Some people just get caught-up in the "chase." Sad!...My "last" husband was the total opposite. He wasn't pushy!

What individuality or assets does another person have to possess before you are drawn to them in like? bigsmile

Once making “like’s” emotional connection, how easily and quickly do your feelings progress to love? love :heart::heart: love


As I see it, one doesnt calcuate how easily or not to fall in love. When u r in love u cant possibly know

How easily do I fall inlove? Sometimes, easier than I fall out of it.
Love for me can be a long, heart wrenching ordeal filled with tears, laughter and those butterflies and melting moments, like with Sunshine. The guy that for three long years I thought I was in love with. Actually I don't doubt I was inlove, to the best of my knowledge of what love was at the wise old age of 15.
Love can also fleeting, a quick burst of fire that leaves you cold as quickly as it warmed you up. Umlilo wamaphepha, as we like to say in my language. Gone as quickly as it came. Like I had With The French Guy Who Lived In A Tree. We've never met, and he doesn't even know I exist but for 5 glorious hours I entertained myself with fantasies of us meeting and travelling the world together. Then reality came barging in (life's always better in my head) and reminded me that we would infact never meet. End of fantasy. Enter heartbreak and slit-my-wrist music on repeat.
I live to love. From ficticious characters in novels to the guy-with-the-long-arm who lives next door. I don't have a certain criteria or any sort of stipulations when it comes to this sort of thing. If it happens, it happens. I have yet to fall "seriously" inlove in my older years but I'm open to the idea. I'm enough of a romantic to still believe in Prince Charming and the notion of Happily Ever After.

Your answer made me think about my two "most" significant relationships...After thinking about how each began I was surprised to realize the feelings I experienced and the time frame in which they hit were similar in both relationships...With both men, I knew I was in love early in the relationship...And so did they...I want to add something else...These two relationships were separated by over 30 years!...

I tend to over-think things, and honestly I don't think I've been in love yet. If I think a guy might like me, I'll be friendly to him, but I'm always scared that I'm just reading too much into things. Then, by the time I've resolved to make the first move, he'll suddenly start ignoring me. I guess I just haven't met the right guy...

There really isn't a list of any specific traits I require to develop feelings for someone. If the connection's there, it's there. As for how easily... not easily, if at all. I've been in love twice in my life, with some minor infatuations in between that went nowhere. I'm an involuntarily selective and extremely complex person, and if I had control of who I had feelings for, I would have settled down with someone a long time ago. But, sadly, the few times I've had deeper feelings for someone, it has most definitely been the wrong ones, and it was harder to get over those individuals than I would have liked.

So, in short... I guess what I'm saying is that I rarely fall, but when I do, I fall pretty damn hard.
