HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE MEN TO FALL IN LOVE
Chidinma Ordu
Love is a beautiful thing and everyone wishes to experience it. Men and women are built differently and therefore, they love differently.
For women, we tend to fall in love quickly. Little gestures such as compliments, gifts, attention and other romantic gestures can make us to start imagining the future with the other person even if it has just been days we met.
But is this the same for men? Find out in this article.
This evaluation may not be true for all men but, a higher percentage of men tend to fall in love within months while a lesser percentage may fall in love at first sight.
The first stage of love for a man is infatuation. We can all agree that this looks like love but it isn’t. Infatuation is when feelings are high and you feel like you can’t really do without this person. In this stage, you are mostly only attracted to the person’s physical appearance. Infatuation can also be lust.
The second stage is trust and commitment. Here, the man begins to see you not just your physical appearance but also your flaws. He becomes more committed to you even with your flaws. Most relationships don’t make it past this stage. Here his trust for you has developed and so is his feelings.
The third stage is falling in love. He has seen your flaws, your shortcomings and yet he still chose to stay regardless. This is love. He begins to do things that he thought he would never do. He begins to see you as a part of his life.
All these stages can happen within 3 months. Which is why it is often said that if a relationship exceeds 3 months it is often considered to be true love.
As earlier stated, this may not be true in some percentage of men but a higher percentage follows this pattern.
