How soon after you meet someone do you think you can fall in love? Is there a length of time for how long you should know each other before you start to love? Or can you fall in love in a week or less? Is seeing them in person a factor? How about age?

Some of these questions warrant their own threads entirely. Luckily, a quarter to 2am on a weeknight is my time to respond to everything I possibly can.
"Is there a length of time for how long you should know each other before you start to love?"
Naturally. It varies from person to person, but LOVE someone it takes quite a bit of time. To care for them could only take a month, or even weeks. To LOVE-love them should take a few months at least.
"Or can you fall in love in a week or less?"
NO, definately not.
"Is seeing them in person a factor?"
I'd so so. Almost definately.
"How about age?"
Well obviously age is an issue. You can't be in love when you're 4, so it has to start somewhere. An average age is somewhere around the mid to late teens. Some people earlier, some people much later.
As far as age DIFFERENCE it depends. If you're 12 and they're 20, this age difference is phenomenal and disturbing. If you're 32 and they're 40 it's not a big deal, in spite of being the same amount of years. It depends on where you are in your lives.

Yes, you can fall in love fast or slow25% Voted for by frndofyaweh, AnalyzingThoughts.
This primarily depends on how we define love. The Greek definitions are closest to the description, as there are 5 different kinds of love and 4 of those are easy to fall into, one could be humanly impossible(agape).
People say love is healthy. It is healthiest when kept in it's proper context.
The worlds view on love has been compacted into a single emotion over many centuries and then turned into something possessive, overwhelming or conditional and hard to define or even attain.
To truly Love another, such as a life mate, means; not being attached to that mate, while being attached at the same time. Not depending on that mate to love you back the same, even though they should. Instead strive to build a relationship, that breeds an un-conditional love relationaship.
Age for love is not set in stone, Those who reason out right and wrong can also comprehend loving another, caring and un-selfishness. Ages 8 to 10 years old, is the average. Remember there are 5 kinds of love(puppy love not included).
How old should you be, to make a love relationship binding, such as Marriage?
That depends on the laws of your respective governments. To bind a relationship and become one flesh with another being; requires the understanding of that marriage and what the love should be between them. -

This is the second or possibly third time a love-based argument I responded to has been deleted. Either there is a rash of kids out there that quickly get embarassed about their questions, or it's the same person with new names.
HA!

Well..Voted for by NovemberRynn.
You can fall in love VERY fast. At least it may not be true, and if it is your quite lucky. But to actually trust it, you must make sure its real, and that its right, it takes time to understand. Don't go into something thats easily misunderstood so fast, such as love. You can quick i suppose just be careful.

who knowsVoted for by chaostheory89.
those who have said it varies enormasley i whole heartedley agree. i spent months denying my love becuase she was 2 years younger then me but i realised eventually that 2 years is fine. as for the time taken my intial feelings came up after a few weeks but love came some months later. age is irrelivent no matter what the difference but depends on the type of love. a 4 year old cn love a 40 30 year old if it is their mother or father yet a relationship like that will be frowned at. yet edgar allan poe married a 14 year old so love can still exist with huge gaps in between ages
