I need to know your views on this issue. How soon can a person know if another is the right one?

Ok.. take this scenario.. you meet someone here on CS and you chat everyday.. sometimes two or three times per day for long periods.. you know you are interested in each other... how soon do you think is too soon for you to decide you want to meet..

Also, do you think that a person can "fall in love too soon"? And if so, what kind of time frame do you think is reasonable for online dating?

Yours opinions all count!

I dont think you can really put a time frame on love. love has its own clock and own agenda. Get on and enjoy the ride.

Meeting in person doesn't have to imply that you are in love. If you have fun chatting and would like to do something together, why not

As for the time frame for falling in love I have somewhat strange theory. Love takes time, but falling in love either happens or it doesn't within the first month.

It doesn't mean that that kind of falling in love is lasting, but the chemistry it either happens or it doesn't. And there are no rules about when and with whom it will happen, and that justifies the whole concept of dating

There are no time limits set for love....if you move to slow or move to fast.....your dammed if you do and your dammed if you dont....just take a risk and if it works out then great and if it dosen't then move on fast...

The simple answer is no! No time frame can be place on when or if love will happen. We are all different. It could take seconds or years and probably something inbetween. The real issues is can it occur close enough for both people in a relationship for it to work between them. For sure one will be there before the other one and how they handle that love vs. I am not there yet will either make or break the couple.

my husband and I fell in love and knew we would get married after 6 weeks. But I think it was pretty much love at first sight...it was magical and everything just fit together from the get go (hasn't happened since however) but there is no time frame...but if you are involved with a man for oh let's say months, or a few years and there is no talk of this..no committment for the future...run!!!!!

chatting with someone from online every day for a long period of time without meeting is a train wreck waiting to happen. If you think there is something there then you should get on your bike and go meet them or let them come and meet you. It's all soooooooooo different in person. a regular box of surprises.

I think in most cases here, people irrationally believe they are in love after communicating for some time, sometimes a very short time, but it´s all nonsense, in my opinion, until those people actually meet.

The best advice is to meet up asap in order to really know if there is anything tangible to work with. Saves a lot of heartache, a lot of which we have seen regularly on the forums between people who have never met.

Love moves to its own time... Chatting on a dating site is one thing. It shows interest and attraction, but I dont think you can "fall in love" with someone youve never met

Its like baking a cake, you know how it should taste, (yummy of course) you know the ingredients, but its blending it all carefully together, some may take time to rise some are quicker to rise to get the ultimate result. But then sometimes some beautiful person can just come along and already baked and willing to hande it you to share.
Then again there are those that like their cake and eat it too.
Its all about having that fun, of getting to know each other first, likes, dislikes, compromise, intimate passion,many more ingredients, there is alot in it, that why i am in no hurry.
I shall have fun and laughter sincerity on my way. Because I know what i have to give is...."ME".....and tha'ts the key importance, therefore I will take my take thankyou.

Well, the basic thing is falling in love at the same time (or near it).

Anymore, I don't think so. I've always believed in falling in love at first site, but Love is so strong and wonderful I don't think there are boundaries. There is a couple here in town who were separated for 35 YEARS (her parents lied to her and told her he was dead--isn't that the worst?) but they found each other and the love is still like superglue. They are getting married in June. Love knows no age, no time,no gender, no distance, no troubles. I think Love is wonderful.

If you go too fast sometimes you have to go back and start over going more carefully and slowly.

to meet safely?, no such thing as too soon. Falling in love? Don't have an answer. If someone is NOT the one, I know immediately. I have trouble listening to myself sometimes, but I know. If someone IS the one. Well, I'm here so I haven't figured that one out.
