Do you think it's the normal thing to go into a romantic relationship with a love/ deep attachment for the other person, or is it more normal to go into it with mainly physical attraction and shared interests and see what sort of feelings grow over time? I know it sounds a bit childish, but I had this short relationship with a really amazing girl, and I knew as soon as I met her that I was in love with her, so I went into the relationship with a high level of attachment, but I don't really know if that's normal as it was the first relationship I'd had. I'd always thought it's normal to go into it like that, but some people I've spoken to say that the sort of thing I experienced isn't normal and that feelings like I had usually develop over time. How are you convinced it was love if it was the only one you've had and didn't last very long? I personally don't believe anyone goes into a relationship with that deep of an attachment. Sure, there's always going to be some attachment because otherwise they wouldn't have started in the first place, but to call that attachment love is, in my opinion, overzealous at best.
