Line 108:
* In ''Tales of the Frog Princess'', it took a total of three days for [[Naive Everygirl|Li'l]] and [[Ladykiller in Love|Garrid]] to fall for each other.
* The couples in most [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]] stories--[[Justified Trope|justified]], of course, in that that's exactly the way it was done at the time. Couples didn't really go steady unless they were engaged, so it wasn't uncommon for young men to propose to girls that they'd only met recently.
* ''Blind Waves'' by Steven Gould: When Thomas proposes to Patricia, it happens to be right in front of her mother. Patricia was in disguise (she's a witness the bad guys want to murder), and her mom didn't recognize her, but Thomas saw through it at first glance. So once he pops the question, Mom asks how long they've known each other; Patricia replies truthfully, "Four days now." Thomas points out that, "They've been a very ''intense'' four days."
