"Is it possible to fall in love in 3 days?"
If "love" is defined as intense feelings of infatuation and desire for someone ....
yes.
However, the brain cannot sustain this emotional high very long. I mean, literally, the neurons cannot keep the pleasure area of the brain continually flooded with the hormones that create these intense feelings. The receptor sites become overwhelmed and shut down a little bit at a time .... creating "tolerance" of the hormone level .... which is sort of like an addiction process.... The same "high" cannot be obtained as easily over time, and more and more "stimulation" is required to get the same effect.
Sooooooo..... this type of "3-day-love" is naturally short lived and unsustainable. The brain would not endure constant firing of those neurons indefinately.
Adult mature love is differant. It is not so much self-pleasure based ..... it is more directed toward the other person, and is kindness and caring based.
Immature adults are often incapable of this slow and giving love. They cannot wait for the intense feelings to return, and they move on to new conquests.
Some mature adults ARE capable of the slow and caring love, but IN TIMES OF PERSONAL CRISIS, they seek out the intensity of infatuation for various reasons. Usually (in my opinion) it is a crisis of identity .... "Who am I?" ..... and they find an affair partner who creats a new and shining (albeit false) mirror image of themselves. Once this type of adult "wakes up" they are apalled at themselves, and make good efforts at marital recovery.
Sometimes mature adults have a personality disorder that makes mature love impossible.... but, that's another story...
That's my opinion.
