Many people claim to have fallen inlove with someone in less than a week. They said that it feels like knowing the person more than a week because they've been talking with each other constantly all the time. But is this really enough or it is just a mere attraction? We can be attracted to people because of their physical appearance, their charm, their wit and their ability to handle a good conversation. But is love possible in this case?

I know I have fallen in love with someone, but one at a distance some years ago, it was more or less straight away.

i'm speaking based on my observation. yeah there are lovers who fall inlove in just one week, but most of the time it ended up in just a month or few months..

Well, then I think that's not love at all. It merely falls in the category of attraction. Most people are confused between the two and I think we should draw a line between love and attraction. Thanks for your comment.

Yes. I fell in love in a day. And I still am so much in love a year after.

It is my personal opinion that perhaps people get so infatuated that they actually feel it is love. Love is something that grows with time, so I suppose it depends on how deep that infatuation is for those who last long in the relationship then later say they knew it the first week.

Isn't that what you call infatuation? Love is very deep. You love someone because you got to know who they are and what they think. It's not on looks alone. Some people want to get to know others who are attractive but in the end, they realize that it wasn't love after all. They are just investigating but they call it love abruptly. It really takes time to call it love.

Couldn't agree with you more. Love is not something taken out of thin air. It's something more than the physical attraction or a mere infatuation.
