8 Signs Your Relationship Is Moving Too Fast

 

Being in love is beautiful and being loved and in a happy relationship is even better but every relationship has its own pace.

The speed at which your relationship progresses is a personal choice and comfort but getting caught up in your lovey-dovey honeymoon phase can be a big problem. It's never a good idea to rush anything.

When everything seems like it's moving too fast and happening too soon, it's a sign that there's an underlying issue.

Chances are that you're in a relationship for all the wrong reasons and this can take a toll on you eventually.

This is why it's important to look out for signs that can help you understand if you're rushing a relationship and if you're moving too fast.

Other than this, it's also essential to understand a person and get to know them before rushing into a relationship. Being swept off your feet is one thing but rushing your relationship is much different.

There's nothing wrong with being madly in love as long as you don't rush everything in your relationship.

Here are eight signs that your relationship is moving too fast.

Your friends aren’t sure about your new bae

Your besties have seen you going through some rough patches and they have always been there for you.

They also know when you are beyond happy, that’s why when they’re telling you something is wrong about this guy – you should listen! See what they have to say.

If you’re moving too fast, they will definitely tell you.

Making the partner feel like the center of your world

Guy moving too fast emotionally can really turn us off and frighten us away. The same is for women. Why is this? Because no one likes being pressured into relationships if one of the reasons.

The second one is we want to be with someone who has a life outside the relationship too and have fun, spend time together but never let other aspects of our life suffer.

You’re on the rebound. 

Let’s start with the painfully obvious: If you’re fresh out of a long-term relationship and looking for love from a place of loneliness, you probably need to slow things down.

Sometimes people connect with another person quickly and feel so relieved that they’re not alone that they rush to make it more permanent.

But the fear of being alone can gloss over many shortcomings in a relationship and lead to disappointment later on.

You talk about making major life plans with them

It's one thing to know you want to eventually get married and have children, but planning your life with someone you only are starting to know could be a sign you need to re-evaluate how quickly your relationship is moving.

You see only perfection in your partner

Isn’t this great? They are perfect! It just feels like “it’s meant to be,” and this is great, but this first stage of the honeymoon phase too often brings vague promises of the future that might get your hopes just a bit too high.

If all you can think is how perfect he/she is, your relationship is moving too fast.

You don’t meet with your friends and family

Whether we are in love or not, it’s really important to maintain relationships with the people that are dear to us.

If you’ve stopped meeting with your parents and have ditched your friends on more than one occasion, it’s time to stop and take a look at your new love affair.

If it’s taking all of your time leaving nothing for other meaningful connections, it might be time to slow down a bit.

You can't go an hour without texting them

Similar to planning too many dates into a short period of time, constantly being in contact with a potential partner could be a sign things are moving too fast. 

You shouldn't be afraid to lessen the frequency of texting, calling, or emailing if you feel overwhelmed.

On the other hand, if you feel like you have to be in constant contact because you're worried the person will lose interest or refuse to commit to you, it's time to re-evaluate your relationship with them.

You're nervous about the relationship's future

Instead of being excited about the next relationship step, do you get a sinking feeling in your stomach?

While it's normal to be a mix of nervous and excited before you say "I love you" or before you move in together, is there something in the back of your mind that's telling you that you're just not ready?
