I said 'almost' :P
My husband says it took him about a month. I pretty much started liking him right away but kept pushing it back because it was 'crazy.' We didn't actually openly admit it to eachother until about 6 months later.

what's stopping me is lack of social skillz lol. anyway, it just doesn't occur to me to approach people myself. I don't mind being approached though, as long as it's just a friendly conversation that I can safely back out of.
