IMO, you can be in lust for ages, but real love sets in after 6 months or more of being with the person, face to face, when the courtship phase wears off and you really finally know them for the person they are. Lust is when you can't live without the person and you think they're perfect in every way, love is when you know they aren't perfect at all but you love them anyway.
