I know a couple who did this.
Met one night, hit it off and by morning they were an official couple. One week later, they were engaged, and a whopping month later they were married.
Their relatives and friends weren't very sure about it, but six years later those two are very happily married and have just got their own house, with the express intention of start making children like rabbits.
u I don't believe in love at first sight. If you meet someone and instantly think you are in love. . . what is it that you love about them? The only thing you know is how they look, and that feeling is called lust. If you could fall IN love that quickly, then you could fall OUT of love just as quickly. That's not love; perhaps it is infatuation but not love.
Occasionally, couples come together, as did your friends, and they instantly commit to becoming a couple. Sometimes, they want to think that it is "magic" that they instantly fell in love, but most likely, they were both ready to settle into a relationship, they felt immediate physical attraction, they both committed themselves to the idea of making it work, and they succeeded. But I suspect that what they felt after they had been together for a year is not the very same thing they felt the first day they met.
That’s fortunate that it worked out for them well.
Most of the time, things don’t go that smoothly.
It’s like marrying your very first boyfriend or girlfriend.
For some, it has worked out very well.
For most, their first relationship didn’t last because one or both of them weren’t right for each other.
I’d say the couple you described were infatuated with each other, committed themselves to each other, and the love slowly began to grow and mature, and it never wore off, because their infatuation was replaced with real love and passion.
They were lucky to have everything work out like a carefully placed row of dominoes, perfectly positioned for a smooth chain reaction.
A day of interacting with them, yes.
If there’s no interaction then it’s just sexual/physical attraction.
Even if the two fall in love because they have a great interaction and love the appearance of each other. They still have to take time to get to know each other and interact more, otherwise with time, they may find things they don’t like about the other and depending on what those individual dislikes may be, some or one of those can be a cause for concern, hurtful/harmful to one or both partners, and thus a dealbreaker.
- ‘Love at first sight’ is not love. ‘Love at first sight, and interaction’ can be but, it can be short lived.
I believe in "Twin Flames" because it happened to me.
Have you ever gone through life with the feeling that there is that special someone out there, somewhere, but you just haven't met yet? Then one day you do meet and you feel as though you reconnected with the person that had always yet to be found.
It does happen. Like that person is the other half of you and you finally found each other. Then it's like you already know each other, so you don't have to go to try and find anyone else. You found your twin flame and you knew it!

I believe it can happen, but the chances are extremely low. As for myself, I don't think it could ever happen. But never say never
The phrase "love at first sight" wasn't created in a vacuum.
My sister did this. She went on an overseas vacation with a friend, bumped into a guy from Australia doing the same thing, immediately hit it off, changed their plans the next morning to travel around with each other, one week later they were engaged and a little over 2 months after that they were married. They're 11 years in and happily married with 3 kids.
Oh and by complete luck or fate or whatever, we managed to track down footage of them playing together on a bouncy castle at a carnival in New Zealand way back when they were 13 years old, over a decade before they crossed paths again.
It gets better tho, his family connected really well with ours and 2 years later his younger brother married one of my other sisters.
Love is a higher emotion and needs time to appear. That's why the first months are called infatuation, when we are blind to any negative traits of the other person. But if both partners feel the same and will take care of the relationship during crises, love will follow.
"Falling in Love" is projecting YOUR infatuation and imagined perceptions of the "Object" of your desire... RARELY do these prove to accurate. ~ It CAN BECOME 'LOVING' IF/WHEN your initial perceptions of the 'object' are 'validated' by & through life experiences~ ;)
Absolutely not. Actual time takes time to accrue. Lust or infatuation is a different matter. Perhaps this is the reason for so many breakups and divorces. Real love lasts. Fake love you can fall out of just as fast as you can fall into. Just look at the divorce statistics. These people you vowed to love and to cherish from this day forward seems to be nothing but a farce.
You can do this, but more often than not this represents a chemical reaction to sexual attraction. This will wear off in a few days or maybe a week and then you'll be stuck with something that you don't know what to do with. It's best not to react to these kinds of feelings or take them too seriously unless they persist for a very long time.
No, I don't think you get to know them well enough.
That said you can become infatuated with them.
That has happened.
Some have worked out, others have not, again after you get to know them.
I believe it's possible.
I came as close as I've ever been with one girl I met a while back.
As far as looks she was almost exactly what I always pictured in an ideal partner.
Personality, also just what I was looking for. She was humble, quiet, shy, a little dorky, but would open up a lot once you got her on a subject she liked.
Too bad she was already taken though.
It's probably the rare case of meeting a true kindred spirit.. Somebody you connect with so well, that you don't need long to figure out if you guys want to spend maybe the rest of your lives together with each other.. I think everybody experiences this a few times in their lives, but few people act on it and let it pass by.. Love is meant to grow, which it did for them..
u infatuation, that is
but love can happen soon after, yes... absolutely
No. At least not in the memefied definition of love. It’s all emotions or feelings. But lust immediate and love is “falling into” after getting to know them. Per popular definitions.
But you don’t have to use those words like that if you don’t want to. Free country!
I would just be careful at thinking you fell in love when it’s really lust.
At first I wanted to tell you hell no ofcourse not, BUT if you actually sit down and have the serious conversation that so many people find creepy and get good answers then ofcourse you can decide this person is worth putting the work into to have a happy life.
I wouldn't say full on love. Curiosity can take ten minutes. A crush can take 3 hours.
In one day, a woman one time got me to care about her legal problems. But that's not the same thing as being over the moon for her.
Absolutely! I met my wife at church on Sunday, & we got together almost every day that 1st week. We were inseparable. We dated for a year & 4 months, & we've been married for 14 years, so it definitely is possible.
There is a little Chapel located in Las Vegas, Nevada that would have hundreds of stories like this! LOL Trick is how long they last after that wedding and about half dozen fucking sessions.
There's always outliers to things in life, but I'd say that type of scenario was like.01% of the population or something lol. The odds of that happening are just way too small.
No I believe that is lust and infatuation when you get those feelings when you first meet them. It takes time to fall truly in love with someone.
Yes! It happened to my parents. They have been married for over 40 years.
That is impossible, but you can feel instant attraction to someone.
