Do you like to take things slow or fast and furious when it comes to relationships or friendships?

Question

mamasan · Accepted Answer

There's a happy medium in there somewhere. When things are fast and furious, they tend to fizzle out. But if things go too slow, either person (or both) could lose interest. I think the key is finding a good balance. Go at a pace you both feel comfortable with. Make it clear that you're interested in the other person, but let the relationship unfold at a natural pace. You shouldn't be introducing to families, etc. until you're both sure you want this relationship to last. Don't move in after just a couple months.

I know there are people out there who are going to say, "I married my spouse after 6 weeks and we're still together 20 years later". Yes, those couples do exist, but they are definitely the exception, not the norm.

With my ex-wife I was fast and furious. I told her I loved her before she even knew what to say, and we moved in together after only a few months.

With my ex-girlfriend it was slower than slow because I met her online and everybody told me she was fake like a catfish or something. I avoided even messaging her back for the longest time but she was persistent, and I slowly started talking to her as a friend. It developed from there and she turned out to everything I needed at that time in my life.

in the middle... I am about balance

doesn't matter much to me about the speed, I just want to make every second really count for something meaningful but!! I do like to take my time with it as well

it sounds tricky and maybe like a contradiction, but is really not... lol, at least not in my experience

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

I try to make friends fast and furious. I wait before I get super serious romantic, at least a month. After three months, if things are going well, I get smoochy. After six months, I begin thinking about taking things the next level.

But I'm flexible. Especially if it's an LDR. Gotta keep my expectations reasonable.

Allyfax · Answer

If it flows then its ment to be even for a while or long either way time is gold however fast it takes to get acquainted and know who your dating is how fast you should move... a lot of people like to lie so just when you find that out leave immediately, lying people will always hurt you , the truth costs nothing and if you can give truth doesn't matter what it is you can find out if the person loves you faster duh👌👌😉

No idea these days. I took it slow before I got married. "Glacial" really. That's 20 years ago. I think I'd try it a bit faster if I was single again now.

Slow and easy. I haven’t dated since I was 15 or so and I’m 23 now, so things like kissing or sex on the first few dates just seems way too fast for me.
