Is 5 weeks too soon to be in love or falling in love?

[Inlove24]

I've been seeing someone for 5 weeks, it's been absolutely perfect from the beginning, just green flags. We have seen each other about 9 times, sex is amazing as well and we also get on great.
I feel that I'm falling in love with him.
I find myself listening to love songs and thinking about him, buying him little things that I think he might like, excited before seeing him and also gutted at the thought of him ending it. I also have the urge to tell him i'm falling for him but I want to hold back in case he's not quite there yet.
So does this mean I'm in love or falling in love? Or is 5 weeks too soon to be in love with someone?

Is this for real?

What's with all the questions? 😳

Just enjoy it for what it is.

Ahh the infatuation stage, enjoy it while it lasts!

Don't overthink stuff and live in the moment- if he is the one (sounds like he is) just don't overcomplicate it, just enjoy it and see what happens.

After 5 weeks? It's either cock struck or attention struck. Both of which are entirely understandable feelings.

Love, real love, is something that grows over time.

Yes

It’s not “love” even though I know it feels like it. It’s just infatuation, which will hopefully grow into something deeper, but that only truly comes with time and really knowing each other, not after seeing each other 9 times.

Enjoy it! It’s great fun and these intense feelings fade with time, so make the most of it.

Oh, and don’t come on too strong!

My now husband proposed to me after about four weeks of meeting me - I told him to stop being so bloody silly and ask me again in another year when he'd actually got to know me well enough!!
He did and I said yes that time 😀

When you know, you know.

my DH told me he loved me after 2 weeks! bless, we were young

married for 36 year now

Enjoy and yes it could be.

I marry the love of my life in a few months and both said the L word after 4 weeks.

I just think when you know, you know.

When you know you know. My boyfriend told my friend he was in love with me (not me mind, he’s not that crazy) when he’d only known me 2 weeks. 6 months in and it’s more amazing every day.

I've fallen in love at first sight before. That was 20 years ago and I'm still just as certain it was love as the first day. The relationship didn't work out because we were so young, but I still love him dearly. I should have married him.

Sometimes you just know.

That said, sometimes you are just infatuated and it turns out to be hot air...

Agree: I felt this way about DP 4-5 weeks in (and hadn’t/it hadn’t lasted in the past)

Enjoy the feeling. Hope it all works out well for you

I felt this way this quick with DP. I knew the moment I met him he would be my person. 4 years on and it's wonderful and we haven't faltered.

My partner said he loved me from the second date. He didn't say it till nearly a year later though. 11 years now

Oh I didn't actually say that I loved him until 8 months in 😂

Are you 12?

I think too soon. You don’t actually know a person when it’s been 5 weeks.

I think it's fine to be feeling this infatuation - you should be feeling this at the beginning. doesn't mean you should leap into making decisions like moving in together or changing your life.

Don't try and put labels on this early on. Those first days are amazing just enjoy it.

I don't think five weeks is too soon to fall in love with someone if they're the right person for you. My husband and I were definitely in love with each other after we'd known each other for a month - that was 50 years ago this year and we're still happily together.

Don’t be so nasty. I truly hate the spitefulness on this site

Could be. We knew after 2 weeks and now have a house and car together with teen offspring. Getting married in April

I bought my now-husband a sign that said 'And they lived happily ever after' on our second date. Luckily he didn't run a mile. Four children and 16 years later there is still only him.
