It is possible, yes, but rather rare

I once did a study on the word love in the Greek and it had something like 18 different meanings. Everything from Philadelphia to agape. Real love does not have a 'time' limit per se but a variation of stages 'limits'. Figure that one out if you can?
I think just as in Greek people have different kinds of love in relationships until the 'real' one shows up and it is how they handle these different 'stages' that is the living proof of what kind of love they have. Is it lasting 'love' or a kind of filling the need of the moment love, or I needed a real close friend type? You have to admit there is more than one interpretation for the word 'love'.

No. Love is something that is gradually built and acquired over time. Lust is instantaneous and can apply to any part of a person, not just their body. You can lust for a person's personality just as strongly and you can lust for their body. Love entails trust and commitment built on all facets of two persons lives. Maybe you think you love this person now, but will you love them when the two of you are in hard times? When one of you becomes angry or frustrated with either each other or some other situation? Will you love him when he decides to go out drinking with his brother or best friend all night instead of cuddling with you? Will you love him if it turns out he thinks a woman's place is in the kitchen, or the workplace, or barefoot and pregnant? Will you love him if he one day tells you that he never wants children or he doesn't like pets? What if his dream is to live in Arizona and you've got your heart set on New York? These are all things that build or break love. They are the kinds of things that split up ten year marriages and 2 year marriages. Love is also give and take. Is he willing to give as much to you as you give to him? Think about these things before you decide you're in love and not lust.

Real love takes time to cultivate and puppy love is the kind it can happen anytime. Puppy love is more of an infatuation people throw the word love around to much these days.
True love is when you put yourself second to the one you care about. You do not think about your own wants but you take into consideration the feelings of the other person.
Puppy love is when you like the other person without actually knowing who they are as a person. You make assumptions and daydream about how it would be to be with this person. Its ok to be infatuated but know its not love and just enjoy it for what it is. When its over try to move on to the next infatuation without any problems. There is nothing to mourn when you are just infatuated...
Good luck...

Yes, its about the quality of the time you spend together. You could spend 2 weeks talking for 8 hours a day, that gets you over a hundred hours spent together. Where as in another relationship it could take 6 months to have that much time spent together. You also have to look at roadblocks in love. If the process is smooth, nothing interupts it, there's no trust issues, ect.. it can happen very fast.

Suppose anything is possible. I know, "love at first sight" and all that.
My advice is to take it "slow and easy." What's the hurry? Takes longer just to get to know someone and then you can't be sure. I'm not saying you should never fall in love. Love is great!
Sounds like you have strong feelings for someone. Give those feelings a chance to work. Are they true or is it infatuation.

No it's lust that your feeling you have to get to know a person before you can truly love a person and that's not possible in 2 weeks. Give it some time..Peace and Love

it's possible to fall in love immediately. there is no time limit. but, usually, you know almost right away. if you have been with someone for a while (months) and then all of a sudden think you love them,....THAT'S when I'd be asking questions, honestly....

That's completely possible. I've met many an elder couple that's been married 50+ years who fell in love at first sight. However, in this day and age, it's never a bad idea to wait a bit to be absolutely sure. (That's what long engagements are for.)

No. It's possible to be in puppy love in 2 weeks. You don't even really know the person you are with, how could you be in love with them? Real love takes time. There's no way around it, you can't cheat, and you can't rush it.
