Do women fall quicker? Apart from the fact that we know many of us men are immediatly smitten, what about the reverse? We have all heard stories of how a man, maybe your father, had to court and win over your mother's affections.

But how about when a woman "swoons" over a total stranger they hardly know? Do women really pick out the names of unborn children with a complete stranger? Is there a different time table men and women fall in love?

Feel free to talk about either online or offline dating.

No, I don't think we do love differently as per our gender. I can think of quite a number of examples where he clapped eyes on her and knew immediately that she was the one for him. They are all happily married and have been for 10-20 years now.

I can't speak for other women of course, but I have had a list of names I particularly like since I was old enough to understand that girls grow into women who can have babies. Emily and Justin have always been top of the list! The fact that I come from a very large extended family with no one named Emily or Justin may very well be why I like these names so strongly.

I sometimes find it a little scary how easily I can feel an emotional connection to a man I have never met (internet) or barely know. It makes me feel vulnerable and sometimes, silly. I don't like it, but when it is returned, it's gold.

It may also have to do with how we define love. I have male friends that I truly love, when bad things happen to them I hurt for and with them, but no I am not in love with them. When one of them just recently lost his 19 year old son I simply held him. I would probably do anything for these guys except sleep with them. I don't know if men love women that way. I have been in love twice, and maybe if I am really lucky will be again, right now my fingers are crossed.

Good post. Baby names, maybe because I'm a man I never thought about them till my ex was pregnant. I too have fallen very quickly with a stranger and shared a one or two day frantic fun filled shareing of emails.

Sometimes its lasts longer but email relationships can burn bright and then burnout quickly.

Listen..,We women LOVE sunsets, our best friends, the scent of cheesecake baking, Robert Redford, our grand children, and on and on.

Women for the most part live with materialistic feelings which include the word LOVE. It doesn't have to stigma for a woman as it may for a man. It rolls easier off our lips.

Try not to take it too personally.
