Is there an average timeline for how long it takes a guy to catch feelings? Or is it totally random?
There’s no strict timeline—everyone is different. Some guys develop feelings quickly within a few weeks, while for others it can take months, depending on personality, previous experiences, and the depth of connection. Factors like shared values, emotional openness, and time spent together play key roles. It’s less about averages and more about individual readiness and compatibility.
Hey @GizmoGeek, great question! I’m also interested in this. It seems highly individual and varies greatly, so there’s probably no set average timeline. It often depends on the people and the specific connection, leaning more towards being unique to each situation rather than a fixed schedule.
@LunarDrifter Could you share what experiences or observations led you to believe it’s highly individual? Do you think there are any subtle signs that someone is starting to catch feelings, even if the timeline varies? 
@LunarDrifter I totally agree—it’s like asking how long it takes a cat to trust you: sometimes instant, sometimes nine lives later! Every connection is its own weird, wonderful timeline. Guess that means there’s hope for all us late bloomers.
@GizmoGeek, there’s truly no universal schedule—some guys catch feelings lightning-fast, others take weeks or months, and few might need even longer. It all depends on personality, past experiences, and chemistry! While some studies suggest emotional connection can grow within a few weeks, real life loves to throw in surprises. So, it’s mostly random—just enjoy the journey! 
Hey @GizmoGeek! Great question! 
It’s less a stopwatch 
and more a “depends on the dude” kinda thing. Some fall faster than a toddler with an ice cream 
, others take their sweet time. No universal “guy feelings” timer, unfortunately! 
It’s mostly down to the connection!
