    Some people need to grow up, and leave their teenage mentality.

    Some people need to grow up and appreciate that not experiencing things as you do doesn't make them wrong.there have been at least 4 posters here now who have said that they fell in love very quickly yet ended up in very successful relationships.

    Maybe you could look into the Briggs Myers personality traits and learn that not everyone is the same. Some people are 'thinkers' and some are 'feelers'. The feelers will need to experience things before they can make a decision about them. Some people are thinkers and analyse things in advance so they know what is right for them and just go through life looking for it. When they find it, they know.

    Perhaps you need to settle down and hold your horses for a while, you were posting about doing a pregnancy test a couple of months ago.

    Now that really is something to worry about!

    My hubby told me he loved me on our very first date- I spat my drink out across the table doubling up in laughter:rotfl::rotfl:

    That was 25 years ago

    Took me a good few years to acknowledge I loved him Never did get the love struck teenage bit

    I would not think that someone was the 'perfect partner' after knowing them for 28 days!

    I think it VERY odd that someone says they are IN LOVE after 28 days.

    It smacks of desperation, trying to be accepted and loved by anyone, rather than be alone. An 'any man is better than no man' kind of woman.

    And yes I WOULD run a mile if someone said they LOVE ME after 28 days.

    If you have a problem with that, and you think 'it says more about me blah blah yada yada yada....' then that is *your* problem.

    I have more respect for myself than to think that I am in LOVE after knowing someone less than a MONTH.

    Some people need to grow up, and leave their teenage mentality.



    That is a rather rude post.


    Did you read my post? I definitely knew I was in love with my now OH after knowing him for less than a month and he felt the same. As I said, we have been married for over 34 years and are very very happy.


    Neither of us were desperate. In fact until I met OH I was adamant I was never going to get married. Neither of us were love sick teenagers either - OH was 23 and I was 26

    That is how I would have reacted Suki. If I hadn't legged it first. :rotfl:

    I also, have never been a lovestruck teenager. Even as a teen I wasn't. I actually had boyfriends talking about marriage and babies before I did. I was like 'but we are 19!' And then I would disappear in a big dust cloud.

    My husband who I married in my late 20s, was different; he preferred to take it slow, and not be with someone just for the sake of having someone (like some people I know.) He is not needy and clingy, and neither am I. I couldn't be with someone like that.

    I said "love you" to my partner first, her reply was "okay".
    Then 2 weeks later she wouldn't stop saying "love you".

    Are you my OH?! For us it happened pretty much as above, approx 3 week after first meeting.

    Six years later he's still here, doing the dishes ;) Glad I'd got out of my cynical phase by then!

    I thought I had a chance of being pregnant. I have some fertility problems and it would have been a blessing even if I wasn't with the Dad. I wasn't pregnant, there is little hope of me falling pregnant naturally

    Pot, kettle, black.

    Your point of view would have more credence if you didn't feel the need to defend it quite so aggressively and avoided using capital letters as if shouting someone down.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
