I fall in lust easily.
Same thing.

Whoa. You may want to wait a little bit before you declare your love! It may have something to do with the time in between meeting people. Enjoy it though, give it time and see where things go!

To answer your question. One time I declared love and never should have. It was a very emotional time and even though warning flags were up, bells and whistle were blaring that something wasn’t quite right. I did it, I said those words. Outside of that one time, no. I never fell in love easily.

I think that people fall into infatuation easily. I wouldn’t know about falling love, I would assume that that takes time and the slow accumulation of trust and dependence. Infatuation and lust are different.

I have to agree with @mrswho. Lust, infatuation, and love are all different things.

For most of my life, there were only two people I fell in love with easily. One of them is now my wife. I knew I wanted to marry her a week after we first got serious.

However, recently, I went through a time when I was mentally ill, and didn’t know it. I was falling in love right and left in a desperate attempt to bolster my self-worth. It didn’t work, but it was the only thing I could think of to do. Well, I didn’t really think of it; I just did it, and then what happened, happened. Of course, now that I’m on a more even keel, I feel ashamed of what I did, and I wish I could apologize to those I hurt. One good thing, though, is that it caused me to work really hard on my marriage, and things are looking up.

They say that some people know right away when they’ve met a person. Usually it’s the guy. My (now) wife was a bit taken aback when I told her so quickly I wanted to marry her. She came around after about a year or so.

My recommendation is that you play it quiet with your feelings. Be absolutely interested and attentive and loving, but not so much she thinks you’re crazy. Take care of yourself, too. I know it’s hard to hold back emotions. You want to cry them to the skies. However, there is the possibility that you feel this way simply because it’s been such a long time.

She may not be so interested, or she might be in a different place in her life, or there may be extenuating circumstances that make her act loving now, but another way, when she is past the influence of that circumstance. I’m thinking of circumstances like rebound relationships, or other circumstances where you are just wanting to feel like you are still valuable or loveable, because you’ve had a big setback and aren’t getting what you need from those who are close to you.

I’m having trouble with this one lately. I either don’t meet people, don’t give people the chance when I do meet them, worry about their alterior motives too much to let “love” happen when I meet them. I’ve never fallen in love easily- usually the people I have the power and ability to fall in love with do not have the same feelings for me. God answering fluther questions always confirm how much I suck at life.

..you though, I’m sure are not or have not fallen in love. Being in love, and falling in love both take time. You haven’t had much of that thusfar with this person, you’re a few stages before being in love..not saying it won’t happen in your siteation!

we don’t know what this guy/girl is like taht you think you have fallen in love with… love at first sight is very much possible

but then i would also say that it’s very much possible that the lack of close contact with another human being in the past year has something to do with it… tread carefully, but enjoy the feelings of passionate disregard…

hey…what the hell…go for it…

Every day, I must fall in love (lust, infatuation, etc) at least once every day. I’ll always love my wife deeply, but sometimes, I’ll see someone that I’d sure like to ‘bump uglies’ with if I had the oppportunity.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@lynneblundell bumping uglies is a euphemism for coitus, or fornication. I suppose it could mean ‘docking’ as well.
