The Fast-Forwarder: Why You Rush Into Love Before You Even Know Who You're With

Let’s Be Honest: You Don’t Fall in Love—You Dive Headfirst

You meet someone, the chemistry is fire, the texting is nonstop, and suddenly you’re mentally decorating your wedding Pinterest board after three FaceTime calls and two orgasms.

Sound familiar?

You call it connection. I call it romantic whiplash.

Here’s the truth: if you're constantly rushing into relationships, confusing intensity with intimacy, and emotionally over-investing before someone’s shown you anything real, you’re not just moving fast—you’re running straight into a fantasy fueled by your own unhealed shit.

And I’m not here to sugarcoat it. You know I don’t do that.

🚩 What Fast-Forwarding Actually Looks Like

Let’s name it so you can stop pretending you don’t do it:

• Saying “I’ve never felt this way before” on week two.

• Planning vacations or talking about moving cities after five dates.

• Calling it “meant to be” when you barely know their middle name—or if they recycle.

• Ignoring glaring red flags because you’re too high off the emotional dopamine hit.

This isn’t love. This is fantasy porn with a human placeholder.

Where It Comes From (And Why It Feels So Damn Good)

Rushing into love feels euphoric because it soothes the part of you that’s been emotionally starved for years.

You learned early on that attention = safety and intensity = value. Maybe you had parents who were hot and cold, emotionally unavailable, or just too wrapped up in their own dysfunction to make you feel deeply seen.

So now, you chase that “spark” like it’s a damn drug. Because it is.

But real love? It doesn’t spike your nervous system. It regulates it.

💣 And if you’re still romanticizing that immediate spark, read this twice:

Why This Shit is Dangerous

When you fast-forward through the foundational stages of connection, you end up:

• Bypassing red flags because you’re addicted to the high.

• Mistaking trauma bonding or love bombing for “destiny.”

• Investing in someone before they’ve earned it.

• Mourning the idea of a relationship when it inevitably crashes—and trust me, it will.

You’re not grieving the loss of love. You’re grieving the story you wrote in your head before the damn plot even started.

The Quantum Truth Bomb

Here’s what they don’t teach you on Instagram infographics: healthy love doesn’t come in hot and burn you alive.

It’s a slow build. It expands over time. It feels safe, stable, and maybe—brace yourself—even a little boring at first.

But boring isn’t bad. Boring is your nervous system finally taking a damn breath.

In quantum terms, when you rush into love, you’re collapsing time in the wrong direction. You’re choosing a future reality with zero data. You’re leaping toward a timeline that doesn’t even exist yet—because you’re desperate to escape the present one.

And here’s the kicker:
You think you’re tuning into an aligned, soul-shaking love timeline—but you’re actually choosing the same tired-ass timeline that starts hot and ends with you scalded and emotionally wrecked. Again.

Meanwhile, there’s another timeline—another version of you—who’s already experiencing passionate, healthy, secure, and lasting love.
But she didn’t get there by rushing. She got there by regulating her energy, owning her standards, and choosing resonance over rush.

The question isn’t if that timeline exists.
The question is: Are you willing to slow down long enough to align with her?

🧘‍♀️ Ground the F**k Down: How to Slow Your Roll in Early Dating

Let’s be clear—I’m not saying you should become a cold, closed-off shell of a woman who waits 90 days to feel anything.

But you do need to pace your energy and stop giving away the whole damn buffet before they’ve even proven they deserve a seat at your table.

Embodiment Practices:

• 3-Date Rule for Emotional Investment
  No future talk, deep trauma bonding, or “this is different” declarations until you’ve seen this person across at least three different environments—coffee, real-world scenario, and any type of stress.

• Nervous System Check-Ins
  After every date or conversation, ask: Do I feel grounded or activated? Calm or obsessed?

• Desire Inventory
  Are you actually into them—or are you just high off the attention and potential?

🔥🔥 Final Call-Out: You’re Not in Love. You’re in Escape Mode.

Let’s call this what it is:
You’re not choosing love—you’re choosing relief.
Relief from loneliness.
Relief from feeling like the last one without a partner.
Relief from your own damn emotions that you’ve been avoiding under the guise of “I just know this is different.”

But here’s the raw truth: if you’re already mentally relocating, naming your future children, or calculating how long it would take them to move to your city before you even know how they show up during conflict, manage their money, or treat service workers—you’re scripting your own heartbreak.

You’re not building a relationship—you’re building a fantasy with a stranger.
You’re not trusting your intuition—you’re bypassing reality and calling it destiny.

This isn’t love.
It’s emotional theater. And you’ve cast yourself in a starring role that always ends in disappointment.

You say you want deep, secure, magnetic, grown-ass partnership.
But your actions say you want the high, not the health.
The fantasy, not the foundation.

So here’s your power move:
Slow the hell down.
Not because you’re afraid—but because you’re finally grounded enough not to chase.

Start tuning into your own frequency instead of contorting yourself to match someone else’s.
Because the woman who gets the real thing? The lasting, rich, regulated, soul-deep kind of love?

She doesn’t run.
She doesn’t chase.
She aligns.

Because real love won’t require you to rush—it will ask you to rise.

Ready to stop fast-forwarding into disappointment and start aligning with the version of you who actually gets the love she craves?
