Can You Eventually Fall in Love with Someone?

"There are different stages that we can go through when falling in love, building attachment, and ultimately forming a romantic relationship," Sommerfeldt says. "It's a process to experience initial physical attraction toward someone and then grow into feeling a deeper and stronger emotional connection."

Can you gradually fall in love with someone?

Sometimes love grows slowly, as you get to know someone. Falling in love with the character, lovingness, personality, honor and strength of a person is quite different from falling in love with the outer person: physical appearance, beauty, style and dress.

How long does it take you to fall in love with someone?

A 2013 survey conducted by YouGov and dating site eHarmony found that the time taken from the first date to saying “I love you” differs between men and women. The average time for men to fall in love is 88 days, while those same feelings of true love take women 134 days.
