Sorry but there is no set time it is just something that happens. I found mine  true love happened when i least expected it just kind of 'popped' up on me. When the time is right it will find you. :)

if you can't stop thinking about them, if you want to be with them all the time, if you want to call and text them every day, then you know that you're "in love." you're definitely infatuated, which is step one of love.\n\nafter 3 months or so, the infatuation stage begins to wear out. from there, the next level of love begins. if you still want to work with them to make your relationship better, and both of you are still putting into the relationship, it's on it's way! \n\nbetween 6 months to a year, if there is still mutual attraction, love, honesty, trust, respect, and willingness to compromise and communicate thoughts and feelings, then you can be confident that it's the next step, love.

It depends on the chemistry between you and that person and the situation. Sometimes you may fall in love with someone instantly, sometimes months, sometimes it may take years before you realize that you do indeed love that person and may have loved them all along.

It all depends on who is doing the introducing and the level you have gotten to in your relationship? BTW, I have no idea on the time span for same sex relationships, so I won't make a comment on those.\n\nIf its a guy introducing a girl, on average it takes about 2 months. Quicker if the girl is persistent. The guy has to feel that she isn't gonna mess around on him. Once he thinks she's ok, then the girl is worthy of meeting the parents.\n\nWith girls introducing guys, it can be on average 6 months. She wants to know that there maybe commitment down the line. She'd be embarrassed if she introduced him to her folks as the love of her life & then 3 wks later, he runs off. Girls like to be deadly sure of these things.\n\nFeel the love and look towards the future. It'd be horrible if your folks grow attacted to your partner & you can't even last a couple of years. Think it through first.

Love comes and goes. It's an emotion.\nThe trick is to fall in love with the same person over and over again. It's called commitment.

There is no such thing (to me) as falling in love.  You are first attracted to a person but you need to take the time to get to know them from the inside out. That takes time. Years even.  A lot of time when people are building a relationship based on some foundations of trust, loyalty, honesty, likenesses, etc. love follows.  When you say you love someone, if you truly know the meaning - Read ! Corinthians 13.  It explains love like nothing else.

Never.\nThere is passionate love and companionate love.\nPassionate love fades.  Companionate love grows.

There's no set time on how long people will be in love....and in fact if you ever truly love someone...it doesn't just go away. If "love" goes away, then it was NEVER true love to begin with.

You cannot define that in terms of time, there is a minimum amount of time that you should wait before considering it a relationship, 3 dates and by that I mean at least a 4 hour period of time with each other each date, but just because you do the minimum, does not make it a relationship, it just means you took the chance to develop the foundation for one.  Some couples know each other for years before developing a relationship, to confine it to time is a mistake.  I advise against making the mistake of believing in love at first sight.  I term that lust at first sight, ya it can work, but most of the time and I am talking about 98% type most of the time, it does not.  Make each other jump through the hoops that you normally would, no matter how much the first attraction is and define the time that the relationship starts after the 3 dates and when there is a mutual attraction.\n\nJohn B.

No one can say how long it will take for you to find your true love. If you are a young woman, get out there and meet people, sooner or later the right person for you will come along. You don't have to sit in an ivory tower hoping someone will call to you to let down your hair. Date, have fun, find some activities that you enjoy, because while you are out there living your life you can't help but expand your world. By expanding the world you live in you create new opportunities to meet that special person made just for you!Good luck!

No one can possibly answer that question sweety. Everyone falls in love or at least thinks they are ion love; in some point of theit life. So its not a fair question, if i were you i wouldt try to fall in love, id wait for love to come to you.\n\nYou willl know.\n\n-James

You can fall in love at first sight and it can last a lifetime.  But just remember that in order to have a relationship or marriage with it requires a foundation of trust, understanding, commitment, friendship, etc.
