It's been 6 weeks after I have started to knowing someone but yet Now i am feeling that like person don't even care for me as he says he does... This whole situation i am in is very confusing but what i wanted to ask is this.... Is 6 weeks a long enough time to get to know someone? And Is it right for someone to say leave the person you with to be with me? Remind you this is only 6 weeks after knowing this person... I would love your feed back on this...

i think very normally you should have understood him in this 6 weeks time frame if you are in regular contact. still i wonts say its a long time. give some more time tyo it and see how it turns out.

Thank you for your reply...The truth of all this is, is that I am willing to wait but he's not.. He wants this all right now.. And sense he can't he said he needs to move on with his life.. I can understand that but after a few weeks of talking and starting to get to know him i don't feel like i really do, sure we shared our deepest darkest secrets but that still isn't enough for me...I believe we are on the same page with the thought of this..

6 weeks is nothing you are still getting to know the person. Even in 6 months you are still getting to know the person. It take awhile to get know someone inside and out. Actions speak louder than words. If sounds you are getting some red flags about continuing your relationship with him. If so, you are probably better off running the other direction.

It purely depends on one's potential and abilty to learn about pschycology, yes if your a person who can figure out one's mind and their character very easily then you can easily understand very easily even less than in 6 weeks if your normal kinda person then it taes more time to understand others and really you have to notice each and every single movement of them to learn thoroughly about them, some people cannot understand/learn others feelings even after spending quiet a lot of time and years with them.That what i say it really depends on how much potential you have to figure out one's mind and feelings.. dont get carried away by just with gueses and assumptions .. keep smiling...:)

hi wisconsin at your age six weeks is not long enough to really knowthe other person. You both need time to' get to know each other first, and six weeks just does not cut it. Dont leave anybody yet. wait out the time and then makeup your mind.

I think that is not long enough to really know someone. People tend only to show what people want to see from them. I just hope you get to know him more so that you wouldn't regret anything in the end.

I agree with the both of you, I seen his way for the first 6 weeks and now he's completely changed on me.. As i stated above he wants this all now and sense i can't he choose to go on with his life but yet tells me he cares and loves me.. I think those are just words to make me feel better and letting him go about's what he wants to do... thank you both for your reply!

you'll continuously notice something new about your partner day after day. question is, can you accept that person no matter what you'll discover and will he keep on loving you after noticing something new about you from time to time? if your answer is yes and his answer is yes, then, it's love. anyway, if you feel like he doesn't care about you anymore after six weeks, best thing to do is open up to him. there's nothing better than an open communication between couples. happy myLotting! anne

it really depends on the frequency that you met him and how much you communicate with him... i think 6 weeks is not a long enough time to know a person that well... give it some more time and see how it is going before you make the decision... good luck... take care and have a nice day...

I guess it depends on the couple. Hubby and I knew just about everything about each other 4 weeks after we met. We talked morning, noon and night. I don't even like to think about the number of phone cards we went through or how many nights I went without sleep but by the time we actually got to meet face to face we knew we didn't want to be apart. We've been together almost 8 years and married almost 2 years. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Is this person leaving someone else to be with you, or are you leaving someone else to be with him? If you are doing the leaving, I wouldn't. During the first part of a relationship, people tend to show their best side for their new partner. It takes alot longer to really get to know someone. If you are already feeling like that person isn't being honest with you about his feelings, I'd say let him go and be happy that you didn't waist any more of your time with him. There is a reason you are feeling this way, so go with your instincts.

I don't know how much actual time you spend with this person, but even if its 24/7, 6 weeks is not enough time to get to know a person. There is no time frame for getting to know someone, it is something only your heart can tell you. Therefore, if you are asking, then the answer for sure is no, its not enough time. In my opinion its never right for someone to ask to you leave someone for them. If you leave someone it should be your decision and for your own reasons. I've also seen that if you do leave someone for someone else, the someone else is always checking up on you and is untrusting. If you are right for each other, time and only time will tell. Good luck to you!

Hello wisconsin26, No six weeks is not enough time to get to know someone but if this person is behaveing this way and you are confused then the person is not worth so say good bye and move on, because if that person is so interested in you that person would not be acting like that. Tamara

It depends. Some time only one look can be enough to understand a person and some time it take a whole life. some people are not able to show their emotions to other. May be your friend is one of them. So try to know him clearly specially his nature. And i hope do will defiantly get answer for you question.

Hi wisconsin, 6 weeks for me is not enough for us to know the person better...I have been dating my husband for 2 years and got married for less than a year this time but each day we are discovering something about us...LOL! Good thing is that we are very open and honest to each other and willing to listen all the time, so, some discoveries which are not that pleasant turns out to be good since we know how to deal with it, I believed we are both matured to handle it. IN your case, If he ask you to leave someone just to be with him, is this a parents or a kid? I mean,if it is just a friend, it is easy to do that but when we talk about kids, it's another story! I am confuse this line so I am just making a guess..If that someone is very important in your life, the person has to accept it! It should not be conditional love! Anyway, I hope you will be able to talk and sit down about it so there will be no misunderstanding and you can bring every detail of the situation! Take care!

6 weeks is very short to know the person very well. Even couples are surprised after living together for years that they don't really know their partner that much. You have to give more time for you and for that person more time to get to know each other so you won't regret of anything afterwards. Just look for the good ones and follow your heart.
