It is certainly hard to tell most of the times when a relationship is going too fast. If you just entered into a relationship and are all over each other's lives, then probably you are going too fast in a relationship. A relationship with assumptions, giggles, sex, and romance without love or much substance is probably a relationship which is speeding too fast. Let us consider some of the signs which can tell if your relationship is moving too fast.
#1. You Keep Each Other On The Pedestal
Knowing each other from just a week and keeping each other on a pedestal? You are probably moving too fast in a relationship. You can’t know someone so well in much less time that you can put them on a pedestal.
#2. You Are Already Meeting Each Other’s Parents
Alright! Meeting parents or family members is a great deal that can never be taken in a short relationship where you barely know each other. However, if you have taken that decision, hold on and think.
#3. If Your Phone Bills Are Hitting The Roof
You don’t even know each other personally but still talking for 24 hours as old couples; this is a sign that you might be going way too fast in your relationship. You can’t talk about everything at such an early stage.
#4. If You Don’t Really Know Anything About Each Other
If you consider them the love of your life but hardly know anything about them, it is also a strong sign that you might need to keep it slow. You need to know a lot about each other before you think about calling the relationship as your “happily ever after.”
#5. Sharing Personal Stuff Even If You Just Met A Week Ago
Sharing toothbrushes, razors, soaps or even clothes in just some weeks? This is something very personal which usually people take a lot of time in sharing with their partner.
#6. Knowing Everything About Each Other
If you both know each other from a shorter time but tell each other everything, that’s quite awkward. You need time to get comfortable with each other in order to tell them everything. Think, maybe it’s too fast.
#7. Ditching Your Best Friend For Your Partner
Is your “other half” or you are ditching your closest friends because of each other. This is the classic sign of moving too fast in a relationship. The friends who have been with you for years do not deserve ignorance at least.
#8. Sex Is An Essential Thing In The Relationship
If your relationship is based on the full kama sutra even when you know them from just a week or two, probably you need to make your relationship stable first, then think about physical intimacy.
#9. You Both Are Social Media Stars
If you have met on Friday and after the weekend if both of your accounts are filled with each other’s photos and romantic dates, believe us, nobody is really cooing about your love stories and love.
#10. You Both Had The 'Marriage Talk'
Just got into a relationship and talking about marriage already? This should be a big time no at an early stage of a relationship. Probably you should get your attention in making the relationship stronger first.
#11. If You Both Are Thinking Of Moving In Together
Not everyone thinks of moving in together even after years of a relationship. However, that stage is considered to be fine if you are in a relationship for years and definitely not in a week’s relationship.
#12. If You Are Ditching Your Responsibilities
Every person has some responsibilities in their life, towards the family or friends. If you are abandoning those responsibilities for the relationship of just two weeks, you should wait and think about your priorities.
#13. If You Are Being Extremely Close But Not Revealing Your Real Self
Being too fast and still having a guarded behavior towards each other? Hanging in the assumption of being the perfect match for each other is a myth that you have if you can’t let them explore your real self.
#14. ‘Love’ Is Merely A Word Not An Emotion
When expressing love for each other is just a matter of a week, then LOVE is merely a term in the relationship rather than being a strong emotion that it actually is, the relationship is just speeding too fast.
#15. Not So Happy Holidays Alone
If your partner is going on a holiday alone and you are not comfortable with it, it is probably just because of the flying relationship more than love. This insecurity suits the couple who have been going together for years.
#16. If You Are Planning To Have Kids Together
Alright, let us stop you right there before you even start talking about it. Getting married and having kids is a stage where you are deeply and madly in love with each other, not a decision of two to three weeks.
#17. If You Have Pet Names For Each Other Just In Two Weeks
Saying “honey bun” or “sweetheart” to each other in the initial stage only can leave a person in an undigested dilemma that how can a couple go so fast in such a short time. Thus, keep these cute pet names for the longer run.
#18. If You Consider A Dozen Dates As Memories
In your love story of a mosquito’s lifetime, you are looking back to the memories and talk to your friends and each other about it, you should maybe invest a little time in actually creating memories and them remembering it.
#19. If You Trust Each Other Before You’ve Proven Yourselves
Trust is something which comes into the relationship with time and experience with each other. However, if you claim to trust your partner blindly even when they haven’t even proved themselves to be trustworthy, it is a sign of going too fast.
#20. You Both Show Over-Romantic Gestures Towards Each Other
Flattery can get you anywhere, they say. However, be aware of the fact that you have gestures only of what you feel and not the exaggerated form of it. An overly done relationship is never appealing.
#21. You Just Got Out Of One Relationship
If you have just got out of a relationship and looking forward to another relationship as the most idealistic relationship ever in just a couple of weeks, chances are that you are on a rebound and not in a true relationship.
#22. You Fight Over Small Things
This is very common that if you will consider a two-week relationship as an ideal relationship, you will have fights over small and day to day things. The solution is to try to keep it slow and have as much fun as you can in the initial stage because this won’t come.
#23. You Call It Big Even Before You Know Each Other’s Favorite Colour
Knowing each other completely happens with time as we talked earlier as well. Therefore, call something big when it is actually big. Before rushing into decisions try to know the real self of your partner.
