writes:I am interested in hearing other people's opinions on this- do you think it's possible to love someone you have been in a relationship with for 5 months? I have been with my boyfriend for this long but really feel like we have a strong connection. We've met each other's parents and friends and I consider him to be my best friend. I can tell him anything and he turns his full attention to me when I need help/advice etc. When we're together we're inseparable and always look deep into the other's eyes. I love the way he brushes my hair back and smiles at me every few minutes. He hasn't said he loves me yet, and I've refrained also, but I feel that it's there. He takes care of me when I'm sick and likes to check up on me, and I happily return the favor. :)What do you think?

I have fallen in love with someone that I am not in a relationship with but talk to regularly, and have only been doing so for about a month - that was enough to develop very strong feelings for her. Her feelings towards me are not reciprocated, but thats another story..

 After just 3-4 months of being with my boyfriend I knew that he would be the one I wanted to be with! I think it is very.possible to fall in love after a short time.. love is over powering and it just happens, you only know.deep inside your heart I'd your falling in love so its up to you. Don't feel like you have to be with him forever just know that you can always be the best of friends :)

A boyfriend like to be like that (probably girlfriends similar): One that is special to you because of who he is and because of the special attraction between you two.

I'd say it'd be wise to tread lightly. 5 months isn't too unreasonable; its certainly enough time to really get to know each other. But it truly is hard to know who someone really is until you've spent an obnoxious amount of time with them.
I certainly think it can happen, but I'd recommend making sure you really know the person you're dating. Not that they're hiding anything dark, but I think we all hide our true selves from the person we like in fear of being rejected. Once you two are absolutely 100% honest with one another and comfortable with each other, then I'd say you'll really know if you're in love.

 Sure, why not? My parents fell in love a week after getting to know each other (or so they always claim) and they're still so dishy about each other it's ridiculous!
Having said that, you're very young, so you should leave some space for the possibility that this is a very strong infatuation. Of course, infatuations can lead to falling in love, so...
I'm sort of going around in circles, aren't I? What I'm trying to say is, that the answer to your question is "Yes", but young people can often be deceived about the concept of "love".
