How long does it take to find love?
How long should it take to find love?
Does it take the same time for everyone?
These are the questions I'm sure many of us ask ourselves on a daily basis. Seeing friends find love at your age makes you question, watching shows like "The Bachlorette" and "Are You The One" makes you question and even looking at a happily married couple makes you question. So can there be a definitive answer to our questions?
I think the answer to that is no. Why? Because I think the "timetable" of love is different for everyone and it also depends on the relationship being questioned.
Take a friendship for instance. Love in a friendship can come after a week, month or the most obvious, years of being close friends. That love comes from trust, loyalty, similar interests maybe and other things that make a friendship strong.
Looking at family, these people are known as "our loved ones." So, in a sense we love our family from the time we come into this world.
Now the hardest relationship to judge is one of two people sharing a life and more often than not walking down the aile at some point together.
Speaking from personal experience, I was in a relationship four years ago. We actually said the words "I Love You" to each other on June 29, 2012. By that time, we had been together about three weeks and seen each other almost everyday over the course of that period. We met each other's parents, took a trip to the city, met each other's friends, and just spent time talking and really getting to know each other.
So I'd say love formed between two people can occur at any given time.
Yes, there are factors to love and having it last that takes time, but I believe feeling the love and having the emotion behind the word can come whenever someone feels a connection.
No one can say it happened too fast, because its different for everyone.
Love is not a science and cannot be measured or calculated out.
Love is love and however long it takes you to feel it and say it is up to you!
