So I was having a discussion with a friend of mine and he said that he was in LOVE with this girl after a few weeks of KNOWING her...
Im a bit leery about asking this question on here cah mi know seh a bear ticcy ticcy piccney deh pan dis and dem fall in "love" after a few days cah di man/girl jus a say tings dem wah hear or dem jus frighten ova di likkle fucc weh dem a get, or di likkle attention...
My question is...do you guys think REAL LOVE can develop in a few weeks? Through any type of medium whether in-person, online, telephone, letters etc.
I want some educated answers please, from MATURE individuals...

YES I BELIEVE SO, BECAUSE THE OPPOSITE SEX CAN MAKE THE OTHER PERSON FEEL LOVED, WANTED AND THEY GIVE THEM THEIR FULL ATTENTION, SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHERE THEY BECOME SPRUNG FOR THE OTHER PERSON IN NO TIME, SO I BELIEVE YOU CAN FALL IN LOVE IN LESS THAN A WEEK
Yes, been there done that. If two grown adults are open and honest with each other then yes I believe it can happen. The doubt sets in when there are alterior motives and games being played by one or both people, true love isn't possible in that situation.

well i honestly believe it can,, sharing the same values and showin a mutaul level or respect with the addition of that warth and comfort u feel wen that +*person is around* is just a few syntoms can indicate that love is there,
really, i av yet to get a clear definition for, love, so until oxford or webster, clealry identify the steps of love, i would say
yes why not, i think love can develop in a few weeks cuz u may meet someone, and u still feel the the same for that person for years, as it was the first, so once as u was able to develop that feeling from first, why cant it be love???dats the quest
well tessy, u kno sex is no motive fi me, as u knw my situation, so dat out a di question u zeet u zeet...
love takes TIME trust me fi love som1 u haffi get fi no som1....wi lov" wat wi si" at di time.and if little sex get inna di ting den hmm wi cudda sweare seh a di 1 dis untill the shit hits da fan
I agree with the sharing the same values and whatever but people can tell you what you wanna hear...i agree with Leah, if the people are open and HONEST then MAYBE...but I still think it takes more than a few weeks to TRULY get to know a person because humans are a profound and dynamic species...you cant possibly know a person's personality in a few weeks...and love at first sight a fuccery...thats LUST!

well life is so messed up, you can fall in love with someone by just hearing their voice or talking to them online, its the words they say that comforts you, i remember when i feel in love with this girl i met online awhile now, i never met her in person but to how we interact, i felt so connected with her, she understood everything that i was going tru and so did i, i guess its the comfort, but i hope it would be the same feeling when we meet
anyway i say yes, it can happen, love hurts especiially when u fall in it
You ask a situational question about love, did you ask your friend how he defines love. To many, love can be puppy love, lust, convenient companionship, codependency, or a casual relationship.
By your own signature line, "Love is Dead", anything your friend says about love might be conceived as idealistic, and to truly understand the situation and respond in content to your conversation, both of you need to understand what love is, to accept each others opinion.
Love is mutual, therefore, your male friend, can be in love, but is his lady friend feel the same way. Love needs to travel both ways, giving, and receiving, for love to be defined.
(I wrote this on the board in another post)
Love is an expression of mutual energy, with a positive purpose.
However you can love someone and it not be compatible, and compatible and not be love. This is the business side of being in a relationship......don't confuse love with relationship....
Many still hold on to "loving" others while settling for someone compatible. By my own definition, love can be instant if the mutual energy is present. But are you questioning love, or compatibility, I do not think people can know or even understand the behavior traits and lifestyle of another till they have spent time with them. Time is defined as a period long enough that two people no longer have any hidden privacy issues. Beng compatible is not love.

in this day and age of so much infatuation and lust for sex i think it is very rare to love in a short space of time plus can someone explain to me what love really is???
I THINK BABY SAID ABOVE THAT LOVE DOESN'T TAKE TIME TO BLOSSOM AND THAT'S TRUE..IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO INDIVIDUALS, THEIR ATTITUDE, PERSONALITY AND THEIR OVERALL UNIQUENESS... APPEARANCE AND APPROACH HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP AS WELL AND THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE WAY IN WHICH YOU SHOWCASE YOURSELF TO OTHERS WETHER IT'S ON THE NET, OVER THE PHONE OR IN PERSON... SO TESS, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I'LL SAY YES IT CAN TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR LESS THAN THAT DEPENDING ON THE INDIVIDUALS!
It is human nature for anyone the get butterflies in the belly for a the first few weeks. I believe that real love is a bit more profound. It extends beyond the novelty of infatuation and evolves into something more purposeful, fulfilling - REAL LOVE.
In the initial stages attraction will draw ppl together but, love will determine how long that relationship will last.
I am inexperienced in this "field" but I'll make an attempt in answering the question.
Short answer: no
Long answer:
Love developing in a week?
It's sounds a bit nonsensical to say you have fallen in "love" within a couple of weeks. A few weeks wont make you know your partner. That is just the tip of the iceberg. This sounds like infatuation. It doesn't take a couple of months, neither does it take a year. There is no set time. Love can only be patiently built and it takes a lifetime.
YES I BELIEVE SO, BECAUSE THE OPPOSITE SEX CAN MAKE THE OTHER PERSON FEEL LOVED, WANTED AND THEY GIVE THEM THEIR FULL ATTENTION, SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHERE THEY BECOME SPRUNG FOR THE OTHER PERSON IN NO TIME, SO I BELIEVE YOU CAN FALL IN LOVE IN LESS THAN A WEEK
