How Many Hours Does it Take to Fall in Love?

*Experience, oops.

This board isn't for discussing relationships. This board is for people who seek advice. I recommend that you make this thread on /b/ or /r9k/.

This is a specific personal problem.

>>17491252
then tell us your personal problem instead of just asking a general question. do you really want to fix your actual problem, or do you just want to gather information and then sit there and think about it in an abstract fashion?

>>17491269
I would prefer to think about it in an abstract fashion, hence the first post.

I'll do this quick

We live in the same country, but we're very far apart. I'm very insecure and want it to work out, but I know that the majority of online relationships don't end well.

It all comes back to the question
>how many hours does it take to fall in love
So how many hours does it take?

0 to infinity hours

as to your question

The LDR won't work out

Thread over

>>17491286
You're always so helpful, Pegasus. I respectfully decline your opinions on the notion given that you appear to have few experience in the "real world."

Someone give me an answer confirming my dreams of a happily ever after?-- I'm obviously joking, nothing in my life has worked out up to this point, this probably won't either.

It differs in every case. You might as well try it, the positive possibilities are better than the negative ones are bad

>>17491297
Based on what you stupid bitch? Kill yourself over a LDR then god knows people like you deserve it for ignoring the advice of people who have done it before

Unless you're both rich and can afford to move in together

it

will

not

work

ever

>>17491297
How badly do you want it to work?

Will you get a job? Save money? Plan on moving in with said guy? Actually get off your ass and drop everything in your life make it happen?

If you wouldnt be willing to go that far, would you ask him to do it instead? Should he?

If you arent willing to step up to the plate and make it work then it won't. LDR's are about more than just love.
Its about planning, risk, commitment, and being able to handle yourself if it all comes crashing down.

Take it from a guy who personally drove his LDR back to his house and now lives happily together.
Its not easy, it's incredibly stressful, and unless you and said guy are willing to risk it all, dont even bother.

>>17491297
Leave Pegasus alone, Pegasus is precious

>>17491309
I would never kill myself, I love life too much. He's rich, I don't want to move at this point in time, though, I'm still going to school (post secondary)

Do you have something that you want to talk about? You seem awful cynical today.

>>17491315
I'm cynical everyday

Good job aiming at a rich dude, at least you figured that part out

>>17491313
This is good advice, I will think about this a lot.
>>17491314
As hard as it is to believe, I actually agree with pegasus, the chances of it working are low, and his post hit me in the feels, which I suppose is the point.

>>17491309
>Shit posting at it's finest.
OP may I ask for some details on the current relationship such as how long you have been together for and what's the reason for temporarily leaving each other. Your likelihood of keeping it together is around 15% based on what I've read. 15% is still a chance and would you mind telling us what makes you so fixated on keeping this relationship?

>>17491321
I had no idea that he was rich, the fact that he's wealthy scares me and is the main reason I'm concerned about whether this will work out.

You're definitely nicer some days, we've actually had a few nice conversations.

>>17491286
I am surprised to find myself agreeing with the flying horse-manure spreader.

OP, I might as well make this a fucking copypasta because I end up saying it at least twice a week: long distance relationships don't work unless you're actively planning to make them short distance.

I think you know this, OP, and that's why you're doing this vague-ass little data gathering thing instead of facing your own dilemma and making a decision about it. for one thing, you don't even define "falling in love." for another thing, you seem to think it can be measured in hours, which leaves one with a very strong impression that you think infatuation is love.

unless you're talking about mother teresa "I love all humanity" agape type of love, I don't believe you can really love someone if you don't know them at least somewhat. that happens over time - weeks or even months. not only do you have to spend the time to get to know the person, you also need time to mull over what you've learned about them and think about what it really means to you.

infatuation sure feels like love, though, in the same way that watermelon jolly ranchers taste like watermelon - it bears a passing resemblence and is overwhelmingly strong and sweet.

>>17491313
pretty much this.

>>17491331
Well he wants to move in with me after I'm finished with school, and we have known each other for two months, and spend hours every day chatting while playing video games. The "how may hours" thing was a joke, we've been playing together for hundreds of hours.

In the words of the person I'm talking to on skype and a long list of others

"You're cynical and uncaring"

You might not believe it but I wanted to save you the pain of that moment when you realize the person you kept dreaming about and loving wants absolutely nothing to do with you anymore and instead just sold your ass out for a chance to be close to anyone else but you

Fuck me though right, what do I know? I'm just a shitposting loser right

I need a smoke

>>17491340
Thats a pretty short amount of time.

If by the end of your schooling he still feels that way and you do for him, then start taking it seriously and make plans with him, talking about it step by step.

Otherwise take this as a friendship and nothing more, because the odds of it lasting that long are slim.

>>17491286
u actually replied to a similar questinon of mine with something like whenever u use u instead of you u are bad something like that,it turns out u are specialised in these cases????

>>17491237
fifth of a second by some studies

>>17491340
Two months is pretty short.
If he's rich he should just come over to hang out. I mean you're in the same country. Instead of playing games on the internet he can buy a ticket for plane, train or whatever and come over for a weekend. Get to actually know him and then the decision will be easier.
Unless he's catfishing when he says he's rich. Rich people usually have more interesting hobbies than playing vidya for hundreds of hours because they can actually afford it

Also
>planning to move in with someone you met on the internet
This guy is fishy as fuck senpai, normal guys don't get into it that quick and with such limited information on the other person.
