MATCH MAKING.

You can’t stop thinking about them at work. When they’re not around, everything reminds you of them, and you count down the hours until you’ll see them again. Frankly, your friends are getting a little tired of hearing you talk about them all the time. If any of this sounds familiar, you definitely know what it feels like to fall in love — and what a joyful, complex rollercoaster ride it is! But how long does it take to fall in love? Do you need to get to know someone for weeks or months at a time, or can you fall head over heels in a mere matter of days — or even hours? I’ll get to the answer later, but I’ll tell you this much: you may be surprised at just how long it takes.

 

Here’s the thing. There’s no exact formula for how long it takes, because no two people are the same, nor are any two relationships. The pace at which you fall for someone might depend on the nature of how you met — for example, if you already knew each other through work or were childhood friends, you already had a baseline connection, which might allow you to emotionally bond much faster. It might also depend on your personality, age, emotional availability, and how often you see each other. Obviously, if you’re going on dates with someone multiple times a week, then you’re more likely to fall in love faster than if you’re only seeing each other a few times a month. For some people, having sex or being physically intimate accelerates their emotional attachment to someone. Even your dating history can come into play: if you were previously married, recently went through a bad breakup, or were betrayed by an ex, it might take you longer to fall for someone new because you’re unknowingly guarding your heart.

 

All that said, through my extensive experience as a matchmaker, I’ve noticed some patterns in terms of how long it generally takes someone to catch feelings. And there’s research to back up many of these observations, too. So, let’s answer this age-old question, shall we?

 

Is love at first sight real?

Ever heard someone say, “I knew I loved her from the moment I saw her,” or “I knew he was ‘the one’ sight on seen”? Some people insist they’ve experienced love at first sight, while others scoff at the prospect of this phenomenon.

 

A 2017 poll conducted by Harper’s Bazaar and Elite Singles found that 61% of women and 72% of men believe that love at first sight is legit. But just because the majority of people think it could happen doesn’t mean it actually does. Sure, people can have an instant attraction and chemistry with someone. As for love — well, true love requires knowing someone, which takes time.

 

Interestingly, according to a 2010 research paper published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, it only takes one-fifth of a second for people to produce the brain chemicals that ignite that sought-after “in-love” feeling.

 

The question is — is that feeling enough to sustain love? Falling in love and staying in love are two very different things, which explains why you can feel an immediate spark with someone that fades once you start to see different sides of them.
