How long does it take to fall in love? Well, a lot depends on whether you're a fucking moron or not. If you're a fucking moron, maybe it might take years, or even decades for you to fall in love, at least to the point to where you feel confident finally saying "Well, I guess that sure is [ was? ] love, right there!"
On the other hand, if you're not a fucking moron, you can probably tell pretty quick. If you can see what's right in front of your fucking eyes, and you have some thought in your head what it is you want in a person, and if there is a certain chemistry that you can detect (which let's face it, isn't the single most important thing or anything but it's definitely up there! - and it's a pretty immediate thing, hard not to notice when it's there). If all that's in place, it should not take you very long to be able to say yeah, I have done fallen in love.
Of course, the specific conditions make a big difference! Especially the condition of whether or not you are a grade A fucking moron. But assuming you're not, and assuming you two are both free, and you both give in to the commitment and exclusivity and to giving it a go, to try to be a couple and to make it work - well, shit. How long does it take to fall in love?

(Or is it three licks of a Tootsie Pop?)
Funny, I did actually try to work in Mr. Owl's immortal line! But I couldn't get the reference to fit the tone. And then I'd gone on to sum up with something a bit too pat and tidy like "ultimately, the question depends less on how many licks, and more on who is licking." And that worked even less well, since the whole point of the post is not "great sex conquers all instantly" - it does not - but rather: it doesn't take long to fall in love, when you are confronted with a person who is just so good for you.
Despite what wise men (and owls) may say.
