I proposed to mrs jd on our 3rd date and we're still happily married after almoist 41 years, so yes, it can happen....good luck numnut, hope it works as well for yo as it did for me.

I agree with all the other posts - it happened to me almost 30 years ago after a couple of false starts but I would also say do be wary but not to the point that you become paranoid - don't rush into anything - just enjoy the relationship and see where it goes good luck - hope that you are as lucky and happy as I am x

Best of luck munnut only time will tell, but even if it doesn't last what's wrong with enjoying it for now?

I knew I wanted to marry my second wife the firsat time I saw her- unfortunately it was at the my wedding to my first wife:(

for the sake of your daughters, take a step back and get to know this person first, dont get swept away with the moment.

Nice one NOX ;-p

It's good that you have fallen in love again. I'm assuming there is no husband on the scene to complicate matters! It does seem to be happening rather quickly, but true love often does. However I think you need to consider how it will affect your daughters- they may be used to getting all your attention and may resent your new man if he takes up too much attention too quickly.

Hmm....Dunno about proposing after a few dates,seems a bit needy to me and anything but circumspect.However everyone has a different emotional make up .As already posted here ,bide your time,enjoy getting to know one another and give your children time to adapt to the new situation.

For me no, this would not be possible and I would think I was caught up in the moment. I would say you ARE acting like a daft 16 year old, you need to slow down, take stock and make sure he is gradually introduced in to your life and that of your daughters.

^^^ That said, I'm not generally known for my emotional, romantic and irrational streak.

[rowanwitch]

how old are your daughters.... ?

If it was only you and him then ok but slow down ...and let him become part of your family first...watch out for signs that your girls are uncomfortable around him though...and if they raise any issues...listen and act accordingly

It happened to me 2nd time around. Inside of 2 weeks we were very close and totally besotted with each other - couldnt bare to be apart! We weren't young kids either, both mid 30's at the time with kids to previous partners. 7 yrs on, and we're still the same - we're very close & bestest friends. Best of luck to you & be happy!

The chemicals can kick in at any point. Can be at first sight. The thing is not to rush things and see if you still feel the same way when you have really got to know the other person over a much longer period. Don't want to get caught up in the rush and in retrospect wish you'd taken your time.

Mr M and I decided to get wed after just 4 dates, got engaged, bought a house, got married all in 11 months - still happy together after 44 years. I would say though, everyone is different so just enjoy it and see how it goes. Good luck.

My brother called at an office one day and one of the girls working there said to her friend "I'm going to marry that man". She'd never met him or seen him before and didn't know his name. My brother was oblivious to this. She mad an excuse to his boss to get him to call the next day at lunchtime, brought extra sandwiches to share with him and invited him for a drink after work. When he walked to the table in the pub she was smiling and he asked her why. She said "I'm going to marry you". By that weekend they were planning the wedding and have been married now for over twenty five years. It can work out but your priority is your girls. Enjoy it while it lasts whether its three months or thirty years.
