First, my apologies if there's already a topic for this.I tried to do a search for it, but an error message kept coming up.So, yeah...
Anyway, I'm the type of person who falls in "like" very quickly.Basically, if someone's cute, has a sense of humor, and if they talk to me first, I end up liking them. Like, if I like someone, I usually end up going to them first and being like "Hey, I like you".So, if the person actually comes to me first to tell me they like me, I pretty much automatically like them. ...That makes sense, right? But, yeah, am I the only one around here who falls in "like" too easily? ![]() |

I'm the exact same way. Before when I was at a private school, it wasnt a big deal... because it was so small. But now that I'm in public school for my senior year, it's insane. I find myself falling for so many different guys. And then both times I've actually gotten into a relationship, I end of falling too fast, later to figure out that I was wrong.

My friend is the same way. You always bound to find something attractive about everyone: their looks, their sense of humor, their voice, their penmanship. She doesn't really understand this so she thinks once she realizes that she finds something attractive about someone, she thinks she likes them. Which is why she always goes, "Maxine, I like someone... again." Which really sucks because half the time, you don't actually like the person. So you rush into a relationship and it doesn't really work because it's not based on anything substantial. I suggest either increasing your standards or before getting into a relationship, just step back and let yourself think, "Do I really like this guy so much? Enough to be in a relationship?" |

Be friends with the guy before you date him. Not flirty predating friends, but actual friends. That way you can find out if you actually like him or if you like one thing about him and want a boyfriend.
I've always waited to be friends with a guy before dating them, it's a sure fire way to not have week long relationships. |

This sounds like you are merely interested in the person, but are investing too much in these feelings. Try spending more time in groups with each person; get to know them beyond their outward qualities that attract you.

That way you can find out if you actually like him or if you like one thing about him and want a boyfriend. thats a really good idea, but sometimes you like a boy too much to want to "be friends for a while". i do hate when i see a girl being a flirty pretend friend, though. like "omg you are soooo cute in that shirt!" |

It's saved me a lot of failed relationships. I fall in like REALLY easily but I always try to let my head tell me what to do rather than my heart. So, I make an effort to be the guys friend. It was easy because I had so many guy friends that they didn't feel like the odd man out hanging out with a bunch of girls. I also couldn't put forth that flirty vibe when I was with my guy friends or they would have called me out on it. I found out that most of the guys I thought were so great and would have dated were really nothing more than a pretty face or a good cologne.
I HATE when girls do that. Like I said, I have a lot of guy friends and I see that happen a lot. One of my best friends is a tattoo artist and he has a lot of tattoos, some girl asked him before anything else "Do you have a tattoo on your penis? If so I'd like to see it". He called her a whore and she left ![]() |

seeing someone and liking them is completely normal. i think its just physical attraction. it happens to almost everyone.

I so use to be like that. I would just fall "in like" with someone and I think it's infatuation.
I think you want someone to like you juet because you want them like you. Beign liked is a great feeling but in the end you would know what you really look for. It would blow off and eventually you would be able to find person you love. |

That happens to me all the time. I could have a great tiem constantly talking to a boy and have I guess you would interpret as "temporary" feelings for them. It's weird.

This happens to me all the time, and have had issues dealing with it. The best thing I've got out of it is to make sure you really are sure you like someone before you start anything with them otherwise they could end up getting hurt. Just wait it out a bit, usually, when I am 'in like' with someone, it just goes away after a couple days.
