How quickly do you get emotionally attached to someone?

20 minutes…***…why is time passing so fast?

anyways - the reason why I’m asking this is that some amount of emotional attachment is necessary for some interactions (like sending intimate e-mails). So I’d like to have a general idea bout when those interactions could take place. And it wuld be preferably if attachment wasn’t involved - because I have been emotionally attached to someone before and getting out of that took months and was very painful

and anyhow - what are the cues that someone displays when he intends on continuing a mere friendship with you? (as opposed to a mere acquaintance?)

and just how can you tell that someone is emotionally attracted to you?

(this seems like game theory in a sense - both parties may wish not to disclose some information - otherwise there wouldn’t be an issue at all with this)
