    As it says...two people meet, get on amazingly well..seem ideal together..have had lots of past relationships so know that this one is special..but when can you decide that you are in love with the other person and not just feeling those lovely feelings that one gets with a new relationship??
    I dont mean telling the other you love them..simply that you feel REALLY strongly for the other???? Opinion please?

    If you feel you may be in Love with someone in such a new relationship hold off for while everyone goes threw a Honeymoon period see how you feel after a few months.

    You both may feel the same and thats great but what if he doesnt so early on? Nobody likes a kick in the teeth like that! so hold off enjoy eachothers company and you will know when its right!

    Goodluck!

    Depends. Is this another theoretical situation thread? And what's the difference between saying 'I love you' and 'I feel really strongly for you'?

    How long does it take to fall in love? Be serious. How long is a piece of string? It varies for different people. Stop reading Mills & Boon and actually talk to the other person about it.

    Jeez. Talk about overanalysing something simple.

    Gosh that's a tough one Op. I mean everyone is different and every relationship has a different dynamic. How old are you both and how long are you together?

    For me I knew that he was falling for me (after maybe a month or two) and he tried to tell me at the time but I freaked out a little because I just wasn’t sure how I felt. I was afraid so I held back for a while, I didn't allow myself to fall so soon to try to protect myself. Then one day a friend asked me 'you seem to really like this guy but what is holding you back'. Once I realised that it was my own fear that was holding me back, the very next time I saw him it hit me.

    But that's just my experience. Some people it just hits them, but others it develops slowly into something very strong. Not sure of that is any help at all!
