Do you fall in love easily? If so, it might be time to take a step back and consider the risks. Falling in love quickly may seem like the romantic ideal, but what if your standards for what constitutes healthy relationships are low? In this blog post we discuss the pros and cons of falling in love quickly including potential downsides such as lack of self-esteem or unhealthy relationship patterns.
The benefits of being open emotionally are real, but what if your standards are too low before making yourself vulnerable to heartbreak? Falling in love quickly and often may place you at risk for unhealthy relationship experiences. The world is full of narcissists and it pays to be careful. Let's not make them any easier by giving into their games without any hesitation.
So what's the best approach? Balance of course! A healthy balance between living in the moment and realistic expectations will help to protect your heart from emotional damage.
Whether you're looking for a long-term relationship or casual dating, take a minute to think about what attributes in a lover make sense for you before getting hooked on someone new. When we have clear boundaries set ahead of time, our romantic experiences tend to be more positive than not.
While it's possible to find the one person who completes us with just a glance, we must not forget that there is a big world out there full of people waiting for their chance to meet someone special. With patience and self-reflection on previous relationships, your odds of finding real love increase significantly.
Here are some great questions to ask yourself for self-reflection:
What is my dating style?
How many people do I want to date at once before committing myself?
Do I need a sense of urgency in the relationship or am I OK with taking things slow?
Am I okay with meeting someone new after ending one relationship, even if it's been only days since our break up?
Your answers will help you understand what kind of person may be right for you.
Sex is always a key question:
"Should we have sex?" Yes but not just because he has an awesome body. Sex does not have to lead to love, but that doesn't mean it can't happen during consensual intimacy either. "Is this guy going to hurt me?" The only way you'll know is to get close enough to feel each other and put your heart on the line.
Now that's a question worth asking.
The Pros: Falling in love quickly may be a sign of being emotionally available, which can lead to greater intimacy with someone who really wants it too. You also reap the benefits of experiencing intense feelings right away so there are no surprises later down the road when things take time to develop. And don't forget those perks! There's nothing like feeling loved all day long because they're constantly thinking about how much they care for you--so sweet!
