How long does it take for you to like someone?

It really depends. Depends on how much time I get to spend with them, how quickly we click and how much we have in common.

It also matters how forthcoming they are with opening up about themselves. Too many factors to put one number or timeframe on it.

Depends on the circumstances. Depends on how strong the connection is. Depends if it's mutual or one sided. Depends how much time we spend together. But I'm generally not in any rush. I like lots of small interactions over time. A friend of mine tells women it can take 2 years to get to know me when they complain I don't engage with them immediately. He's not lying, LOL. I curate my circle of friends VERY carefully.

Define like. I can like someone almost immediately if they're likeable. I don't trust someone till I've known them for st least a decade though. Though you'd never know it by my demeanor. It's why a lot of people make the mistake of thinking we're closer than we are.

Like there's a guy I met online for almost 2 mos and we never date irl but he's like asking me to be more than friends when Im still not ready and he said he is just placeholder and blocked me.

Like as in you develop feelings for them

That takes a WHILE for me.
Sounds like it worked out the what it 2as supposed to for you and him. Could it have been a misunderstanding and he felt used by you? Possibly. But maybe he's an a**hole and this is his m. o.. like if he doesn't get what he wants he just blocks you. Maybe he unblocks you later and gives you a chance to redeem yourself. And at that point I wouldn't be interested. Because regardless of why he did that it's not a mature thing to do. I've felt used and disrespected by women before and I've been angry before. Be a man, just walk away. If you feel a woman is disrespecting you, just tell her, "hey this isn't going to work" and walk away.

He said he doesn't want to lose me and he said he's going to sleep now and I said goodnight. On the other site he posted something about me"
No I will not accept being an option. I will not accept being bread crumbed. I will not accept being strung along. I will not accept being used for my empathy as a shoulder to cry on. I will not accept being used for my money or my home or my body or my character. I am a human being with a soul, not a utility for you to exploit. If you can't understand that, then fuck off. Don't waste my time. I'm not going to waste my time on a shitty girl. I've been through it all before and I've seen enough to know what I will not put up with. I have enough self-respect to end a relationship or a friendship if you're going to bring some bullshit into my life or disrespect me. I've done it. Several times at this point now. It hurts to leave. It hurts so much to leave. But it hurts more to stay. I'm not going to swallow my dignity to keep a person in my life ever again" he blocked me on that site after a day he unblocked me too lol

It can be quick or gradual.

Sometimes you feel a spark fast, other times liking someone grows from repeated good interactions.

Real liking usually builds from how someone treats you and how you feel around them, not just first impressions.

Developing feelings for someone has no set timeline, ranging from mere days or weeks for strong initial sparks infatuation to months or longer for deeper, lasting love

It varies. My biggest crush started normal, but it exploded over time.

It can be fast for me sometimes

I can pretty quickly, if I get a good vibe.
