220.1I believe in itESPN::HENDRICKSHollyTue Mar 03 1987 10:339
    I'd trust "love at first sight" *more* if one or both of the people
    were experienced in relationships.  I'd trust it less if the people
    involved were starry-eyed and sixteen.
    
    It happens that way for me.  In the best relationships I've been
    in, I knew immediately how I felt, and always had to wait for the
    other person to "catch on"!

    I echo Holly's sentiment.  It gets frustrating when LAFS doesn't
    work out in a longer (>8 mos) term, though.  I think perhaps the
    more experience one has had with the relationships, the more one
    knows one's own feelings and can recognize LAFS.

220.3Why is there air?CSSE::CICCOLINITue Mar 03 1987 15:599
    Falling in love doesn't take any 'set' amount of time.  It depends
    on two factors - how right the other person seems and how much you
    WANT to or are READY to fall in love.  If you aren't ready, (you're 
    moving away soon, just got out of a bad relationship, etc), then an
    ideal person may turn your head but 'falling in love' will take some 
    time.
    
    If you are ready, then even a less than ideal person will fit the bill 
    and you'll be "in love" sooner than later.

    	I heard a saying once that rings very true.

    If one want's to fall in love then it takes no time at all.
    if one doesn't want to, then it could take forever.
    I believe falling in love is easy.
    falling out of love is easy.
    staying in love is hard...

    Oh, Chris.  Falling out of love is to hard...very hard.
    Probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.  Falling
    in was much easier.

    RE: 12/13
    
    I was assuming that one who falls out of love does so by thier choice.
    I realize that is not always the case.
    I stand corrected.

    As long as it takes to get to know each other well
    enough for one *good* shouting match, plus 30 seconds.
    
    If the relationship survives this, it is probably more
    than infatuation.
