Hmmm its hard to say because each situation, person and relationship is different.

Different factors come into play, such as how much time do you spend together? And in that time, how much of it is quality time? Some people can be together for 5 months and barely know each other, while others could be together for the same time period and know each other alot better because they are more open, have more in depth conversations and so on.

And then you have to consider how everyone (and we all do it) puts on an 'act' or a 'social mask'. We all do it to some degree. Like people are usualy on there best behaviour for a while and then when they feel 'safe' with the person they will give it up, so there true colours really show. Usualy people give this act up when the other person shows some sign of comitment. This could be giving something up for them, moving in together, sex, or marriage.

Sorry if this really doesnt help. I think what it comes down to is trusting your gut, thats what ive learnt to be the most important thing in trust.

LazyGuy agony auntDepends on who you believe, 1.5 years if often heard as the period needed for the first hormonal rush to die down and for you to find out if you really want to be with this person for the rest of your life and it ain't just lust talking.

If 5 months ago you fell madly in love, you probably still are in that early rush of emotions and need more time for things to settle down.

Stayc63088 agony auntDepends on the person. Sometimes it takes longer to really realize how you feel. Also it depends on the type of relationship and how serious you 2 really are. You will know how you feel in your heart eventually, dont worry about it.
