How long does it take to fall in love with the person you are dating? I've been in love with people that I never even went out with but I'm going out with a woman now, we've been on a few dates, and I'm just wondering what the normal time frame is for deeper feelings to arrive.

I guess this is a very subjective question that differs for every person and relationship but I'm wondering if there is some sort of average time frame out there.

Average: 2 weeks
Standard deviation: 30 years

the normal time frame is for deeper feelings to arrive

Allow 6-8 weeks for shipping.

Two six-packs, but you have to repeat nightly.

more than two dates and she hasn't fallen in love with you yet?
are you some kind of hideously faced stink-bore?

Thing is, after you think you are, you need to hang on a bit, in case you aren't after all.

you should probably be having fun, not waiting for it to happen.

Yeah, don't overthink it.

Christ, love is a very rare thing. You can't expect to fall in love with everyone you date. Sad to say, you will probably never love this woman.

Keep love in the back of your mind, not too far back, though.

literally forever

I fall in love all the time, and rather easily. If I sleep with someone a few times, or even just make out with them a few times, I'm in love. The problem is it's not the romantic possessive jealous kind of love that would allow me to have normal long term relationship with someone. Are there any psychologists out there?
