I’ve read several times that that feelings lasts 2-3 years for most people. That’s the conventional wisdom. I’ve read once that, for some people, it lasts their whole life long. (I mean, once in a scholarly book. I’ve read it many times in novels.)
I rather suspect I might be one of those people. It’s been over three years since I first fell for her, and over nine months since those feelings were in any way encouraged, and I still feel that attachment today.
If it turns out I am wired to stay in love for the long term, that’d certainly be a boon under the right circumstances.

Rather sucks now though.
Don’t know if it applies to you. But I imagine a very relevant factor is whether or not you get attached to anyone else.
