How fast do men/guys typically fall in love?

[TheoneandonlyJessica]

I know that it is known that girls fall in love rather quickly but overall at an average rate. So, to all you guys out there, how fast do you fall in LOVE with a girl?

Have a tendecy to fall quickly

Average rate

Have a tendency to fall slowly

[SamanthaEvansu]

It is really dependent on the guy and the relationship he had previously before entering into an intimate relation with the girl. People can say "on average it will take 2-3 years" or something similar to that, but it varies. I fell in love with my current boyfriend the first time we talked four years ago. He fell in love with me just a few months ago (we've been dating since Valentine's Day XD).

I don't really know... It depends on the guy and the girl/other guy in question and on the circumstances involving the two people.

If a guy is analytically and tends to think a lot - introverted - he'll be more likely to fall in love quicker - this is the case with any human being, not just guys...

i asked my beau this and he said a month into dating did he realize he wanted to further this relationship, and thats his definition of falling in love. for me, i fell in love with him the third month into our relationship.

I think guys fall faster but are much more guarded than girls/women.

[ccp16]

sounds right to me

The poll seems to support your position. If the small sample of results from girls are representative, it suggests that the guys reluctance to share his feelings too quickly might be justified. Seems like this question is begging for a follow up - something like, When would you want your SO to tell you how they really feel, particularly if they develop strong feelings early. ... and I'd be interested in the answer to that poll.

I will agree there with the guarded comment , there are a lot of manipulative and / or downright nasty women out there , I personally have never fallen for anyone quickly , equally have got over former relationships very quickly.

[NerdInDenial]

Statistically, you can develop a crush in 1 hour and fall for someone within 24 hours. Normally, it depends on the girl. If she jives so well with the guy and is very attractive, then it may not take really long at all. It may take him a while to admit it because he may not want to rush things for put the girl in an awkward position.

[ChipChipperson]

I tend to fall quickly, but thats usually because the girls I've fallen in love with were a rare breed different from almost everyone else I've ever met in their own way. So as rare as it occurs, it happens fast, which probably isn't healthy. In general guys are more guarded though which is probably safer.

[1GuyOpinion]

"The higher he climb, the harder he fall" apply here. It will take me long to fall for someone, but it also take me a long time to get over someone.

The time it take for me to get over someone is almost proportional to the time it take for me to fall for her.

[Lonelywolf21]

Damn we are so alike. Even a rejection can take months for me. :(

[AleDeEurope]

I've never fallen in love with someone, even though I've been in 4 relationships. I do catch feelings faster than the average, not gonna lie, but in order to reach to the "I love you" level, I believe it will take me an average amount of time, but like I said, I have yet to experience love.

[Peter0]

Men, by the way, fall in love faster than women.

That entirely depends on the girl for me.
If we have much in common and we bond quickly as a result it won't take long before i fall in love. In other cases it will take some time for our personalities to blend and true love to develop. Either way its worth it in the end.

[Topshelf11]

I can start to like someone really fast. But for me love is something that happens over a long time of committed liking someone, where you like someone so much, and your thoughts get taken over by her. You want to be with her so bad.. And then you realize that crap you really do love this girl.

[Amagi82]

I have fallen in love with a woman I didn't know in under 3 seconds. I have dated other women for months and not fallen in love. There's so little rhyme or reason to it, that it's difficult to give you a straight answer. Where do you draw the line at "love"? How do you define "love"?

[shyguy227]

it really depends on the guy byt me personally I can really like some one from the get go but love as women precive it would take time for most guys, there is a lot of bonding emotionaly going on that men are gnereally better easing into and not feeling forced.

[Lonelywolf21]

LOl, I clicked on the wrong option. For me it takes very little to fall in love, but it happens very rarely. Personally it's very rarely I fall in love. For me it took 8 years to fall in love with a girl again. I don't know, but I know when I meet the person and get to know her better than she is one and that person I fall in love with.

[Frost_Byte]

I werar my heart on my sleeve. If i found her attractive, and i liked her personality and if she was really sweet and caring towards me, i could "fall in like" with her in under a week if we talked every day. But i dint think i would "fall in love" until about a month or so of talking to her everyday.

[Jarus]

Falling in love is not the same as lusting after a girl and wanting to bed her. Something that many males here and all throughout the world seem clueless about.

[Anonymous]

I fell for my girl pretty much straight away. Just something about her when I spoke to her. Didn't let on though, I could tell she liked me but I didn't push for anything in case I scared her off.

Should've told her earlier as she ended up going to a party and having sex with some random guy. Still a part of me that gets annoyed about it but I stuck by her as she said how much of a mistake it was. Still going strong now, but my only regret is not coming clean about my feelings early.

[Anonymous]

I tend to fall pretty quickly, but I do not let this be known. I may even make a point at some point that I have yet to fall, despite the fact that I have already fallen pretty far.

[Anonymous]

The dumber or more inexperienced they are, the easier and faster they fall in love. Smart guys try to avoid it.

[TheoneandonlyJessica]

why would they try to avoid love?

[Opinion Owner]

It causes you to make foolish mistakes that can end up ruining the relationship early on, or it can get you into a relationship you shouldn't be in because the person isn't right for you. Better to delay falling in love until later in the relationship when you are more sure you are with the right person and when you're less likely to destroy the relationship in the delicate early phases.

[imbittered_punk]

Women are always going to fall in love with men quicker just due to the way relationships work. Men have to work way harder in the begining to get women to like them and proove how attractive as a partner they are.

[Jeffrey625625]

I fall slowly even though I have no dating experience.

[oldanddecrepid]

I would say that I have fallen for a girl within a month or so of dating. That's falling for everything about her.

Obviously, you can fall for someone's looks in no time at all... its the rest that you have to learn and it has to catch up!

[Waldoman7]

don't know what's quick adn what's slow. you fall when you know them well enough.

[forgottenmonkey]

I fall into like extremely quick. Like after a date or 2 I start to really like someone. But love is something that truly takes me well over a year most of the time.

[baseball69]

Guys fall in live easily.
Crush starts in about 1 hour after meeting. It can also happen earlier than that too. Falling in love can happen in 1 day, or even longer or shorter. It also depends on maturity of the guy.

[Heathrowguy]

Deeply in love would say after 6 months knowing her. Cos you know her a lot more & u don't mind her flaws.
Just infatuatation in early stages if dating... personally speaking.

[Lonelywolf21]

true story. :)
