In just a few days, you'll be there forever love.

How long does it take you to fall in love? Do you believe in love at first sight?
Maybe you believe friendship has to come first because quick love leads to fast heartache, and you guard your emotions against that.
Having strong feelings for someone after only being with them for a short amount of time is often mistaken for love, when really (most of the time) it’s just lust.
Deciphering between feelings of actual true love and lust takes time to understand since both are so similar to each other.
That’s not to say that someone can’t fall in love easily, it just doesn’t happen all the time.
What often happens is that our feelings for someone burn bright and fast, like a comet, and eventually fizzle out once that initial lust for them goes away.
There are times when these strong initial feelings blossom into something more.
Oftentimes it’s just feeling loved and happy to be with someone that makes us feel strongly about someone.
For those zodiac signs who do fall in love quickly do so because they believe that they have a strong emotional connection with the other person. They might not have felt the same way with other people, so they assume it's truly love.
What’s important to remember is that falling in love takes time.
You need to make sure that what you’re feeling for someone is the real deal, not just something that feels good at the moment.
But that said, if you’ve already dated a bunch of people you know were no good for you, or you’re just emotionally open enough to be ready for true love, it is entirely possible to fall in love after only a few days.
Another interesting thing to note is that positive thinkers and idealists can fall in love faster than realists and pessimists.
They are much more open-hearted and open-minded to falling in love with someone.
It’s also possible that these few zodiac signs will fall in love with pretty much anyone who shows them kindness and affection.
When you have a positive, idealistic outlook on love, it’s easy to see potential in just about everyone you come across.
There are people out there who will tell you that if you fall in love with someone right away that you are making a mistake.
They say that moving way too fast in your relationship, but if we can be honest for a minute, there is no set schedule that a relationship needs to follow.
You should make your own rules in your relationship and let yourself fall in love whenever it feels right.
Love will evolve and strengthen over time, but there is nothing wrong with letting it first blossom after only a few days or weeks.
These zodiac signs may seem silly to some, but they can also teach the rest of us a lot about love and how to be more emotionally open to new experiences.
Here are the zodiac signs who fall in love in just a few days and sometimes first sight, according to astrology.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries may not stay in love for very long, but she definitely falls in love pretty quickly. In her defense, there’s a lot of love to be out in the world.
She doesn’t want to limit herself by being tied down to one person forever.
That said, no matter how long your love affair with Aries lasts, her feelings for you are very real.
Aries’ big heart and impulsive behavior lend themselves to her ability to fall in love within a few days.
She wants a lot of love, and she wants it right now.
She doesn’t think about the future when she falls in love (which is probably why her love doesn’t always last).
She just wants to enjoy the present moments with you.
2. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Not only does Cancer fall in love after only a few days, but she really just cares about you after only knowing you for a short time.
She’s most often drawn to people who she can take care of or who need a strong supportive person in their life.
If you show a side of you that is looking for someone like her, she’s already thinking, “Oh gosh, I have so much love for you already!”
But just because Cancer can fall in love with someone after a few days doesn’t mean she’s going to share that realization with them right away.
Cancer isn’t one to take risks. Just because she feels strongly about you doesn’t mean she’s going to tell you until she knows for sure that you feel the same way.
No need to break her own heart over unrequited feelings!
3. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Treat Leo like the royalty she is, and she will be head over heels for you in no time.
She knows her worth, and she knows that waiting for the right person is often better than jumping into something too soon.
That doesn’t mean she can’t still fall in love quickly. Leo deserves the best of the best.
But, she also gets weak in the knees when someone treats her like a princess.
What Leo tends to fall in love with the most is anyone who has as much passion and enthusiasm for life as she does.
She likes seeing a bit of herself in another person.
If you are as energetic and fun-loving as she is, she’s going to fall in love with your personality, and (if you’re lucky enough to win her heart), you.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libra falls in love… and then she falls out of love… then she falls back in love.
There may be a method to Libra’s love madness, but no one is quite sure what it is (Libra included).
Libra just really likes the attention and flirting that comes with falling in love before she remembers that there’s usually commitment involved, too.
Once she comes to her senses, she backs off a bit.
Libra is the kind of person who will fall in love with anyone who is kind to her - like the coffee shop barista who put a smiley face on her to-go cup or the person who let her have their seat on the bus.
If she actually gets to know the person she’s swooning over first, those feelings could definitely turn into something real.
But with indecisive Libra at the wheel, it’ll be touch and go unless there’s a real connection.
5. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces is the hopeless romantic of the zodiac.
She is the kind of person who will fall in love with someone after only a few days if she feels like there’s a real connection between her and the other person.
If she feels understood, loved, and important in your life, there’s a good chance she’s going to fall head over heels for you.
Pisces is a zodiac sign who sees something wonderful and beautiful in everyone, which is what makes it so easy for her to fall in love so fast.
She doesn’t hold back when sharing her true feelings with someone, and she shouldn’t have to! Pisces may fall in love quickly, but you’ll fall in love with her just as fast.
