Do you think you could fall in love with someone within 24 hours?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I do believe you can fall in love with someone within 2 hours, however it takes a specific kind of personality on both ends for that to happen. It's definitely not a common thing and most people that think they do mistake love for lust. You also need to be talking about things in depth. No surface level topics.

What needs to happen immediately is you need to be on the same wavelength in practically every category.

Having a similar way of communicating - You get each other's way of communicating and can easily tell what you mean even by looking at each other.

Having similar interests - Being passionate about the same things. (ex. You both want to live off grid and live off the land and you're really interested in anything related to it. You're both interested in psychology and philosophy and can talk years about scenarios and what you'd do in each. You both are extremely family oriented and have tons of stories to tell about family, etc.)

Having similar views - This is extremely important. Having the same views on life, religion, how to raise kids, politics, etc. has a huge impact on how much conflict there will be in a relationship. Having similar views also increases your respect of your partner.

There's more, but I'm lazy and you get the gist. You have to basically be in sync and talk about the important things within those 2 hours. But it's possible to fall for someone in that time.

Of course it's possible Coach. It's possible to run a mile in under 4 minutes. It's just not possible for everyone.

Yes, if I spent most of those 24hrs with that person and:

1) I found them physically very attractive

2) We shared values and had similar plans for life

3) I saw no red flags and we had a good time, compatible personality

4) I felt that he was being honest and trustworthy and I felt safe around him

5) Would definitely help if he was not a total stranger, but knew someone from my circle who could vouch for him, ideally another man whose judgement I trust

Of course those are hypothetical, I am now married so I will not allow myself to fall in love with another person.

I don’t even look at food and fall in love that quick.

MrOracle · Answer

Yes, but it will take longer than that to vet her and qualify her to be in a relationship (a process that might also DISqualify her). But as far as those feelings, sure. The relationships that I've had were all built upon a seed of feelings that I felt for the girl after our initial significant interaction. It may have taken the seed a while to grow and blossom, but that seed had to exist for something to grow out of it.

Everybody has a “love map” of a fantasy dream partner in their heads. So it’s possible to find someone who checks off all the boxes on the surface in 24 hours. So you are obviously going to feel intoxicated with feel good brain chemicals when that happens.

But that’s infatuation not true love. It’s like watching a movie that sends you off to a temporary alternative reality.

I had this happen once in college with someone. She later met her future husband and father of her children right in front of me. She then (unannounced) friend zoned me and kept talking to me. Dream turned into my worst nightmare at the time.

NathanDavis · Answer

give me 12 to 16 hours straight... and I might know enough to see if I could eventually fall in love, or not...

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not a chance, I have to get to know the person and that takes more than 24 hours. If they seem awesome off the get-go, I may be a little infatuated with them, but it takes time and I would not let my infatuation get the better of me.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

no, love is a higher emotion and needs time to develop and settle

Mr_twoface · Answer

I could fall in love with someone's personality and character within 24 hours BUT not fall in love with them.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Lust perhaps, but love?  No, I really have to get to know her properly before I can even start to think about falling in love with her!

FreyaRed · Answer

No. Infatuation isn't love, if a person doesn't understand the difference the person never really loved someone.

molonski2 · Answer

You may feel immediate lust , but it takes serious time for me , because at my age I am skeptical of pretty much everything.

Dargil · Answer

In between. You can meet someone and can become  infatuated ... a "fling"; but it can wear off over time.

DishLady · Answer

No. You can be attracted for sure, but love requires more.

Sirius1 · Answer

Yeah I can tell if she’s my type upon seeing her, and if we can keep the conversation going for 24 hours, that would be wifey material for me. No relationship is perfect.

Simslover92 · Answer

Nope I believe you have to get to know the person first.

CheeseMonster · Answer

I can't fall in love with someone period. I would definitely fail this.

LaurenM1997 · Answer

No you need to get to know the person more than 24 hours that’s being too quick

Likes2drive · Answer

Sure if everything just seems to flow and they are your soulmate I guess it could happen but who knows if it would last, only time will tell
