How long does it take to fall in love?

Oh "wrenching" as in working on a car...I read it too fast...I was wondering why a retching guy would smell good.

Hi everyone! Well I guess I was in love but he wasn't. He says he feels called to join a monastery and not called to marriage?! Don't know why he was on a dating site lol So I have been pretty heartbroken about it because I have never felt that way before in all of my 38 years. But what are you going to do but move on and focus on other things so I am trying. Glad to hear all of the stories of how it DID work out though!

I am so sorry... I too have met men who seem to be on dating sites for recreational purposes... self validation? I dunno but it is disappointing.

My worst experience was actually seeing someone for several months who had serious emotional problems, but his flipping counselor had him dating as part of his "therapy". That took a long time to get over and I think I developed a little fear even after THAT experience.

While we need to be open to love, I guess this sort of thing is a good reason to start really slow. I think it is a good sign when you meet their friends and get a vibe about that situation to see if they are some kind of user, freak or otherwise unsavory character.

I feel called to say "bullshit!". He sounds like a jerk - online probably trying to get someone to sext with him (maybe even married). Anyone who claims to be called to join a monastery would not be on a dating site. I met some scam artists and losers online dating but I also met sincere, nice guys - and ended up with one! I'm sorry you dealt with this - but don't let it discourage you! Be extra careful and don't hesitate to Google the person or check Facebook. I was chatting with a guy for weeks and finally looked him up and saw a lovely wedding photo of him and his wife (and confirmed that they were still together on FB).

He wasn't married, I have been to his house and met his coworkers and friends etc. the one weird thing is that he did not want to go to church with me?! (Because he said he needed to go to confession but then he would never go!) so yeah I definitely think it is potential bs in the sense that he wanted to break up and didn't have a good reason so he came up with one. Basically, he is a commitment phobe.

I'm still friends with him on Facebook but we are not really talking at the moment

@@Katrinakit - it is tough to see now but you'll be better off! Hang in there!

The last guy I dated, I was with for over a year when I learned he had lied about his name and age and failed to mention that he was a registered sex offender due to multiple felonies involving under aged girls so I really know how to pick them (or maybe they know how to pick me because those are the guys that ask me out!)

Yikes.

I fell in love with a girl the minute I laid eyes on her. Took her a while to come around and start talking to me. We've been best buds for almost 4 years now.

Oh... Did I mention she is my granddaughter?
