Find the Right Love Speed for You
Whoa, There!
Is it just us, or does it seem like suddenly everyone is getting engaged at lightning speed? Nick Jonas popped the question to Priyanka Chopra after just two months of dating; Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, same (after rekindling their romance); and Pete Davidson put a ring on Ariana Grande’s left hand after four weeks – but we all know how that ended.
While fast-track relationships are not new, what makes them so surprising is that they’re at odds with the leisurely way most young people date today. The typical drill: you hang out as friends before gradually becoming exclusive. ‘Singles want to explore their dating options and make sure they’re picking the right person,’ says biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, who calls this the slow-love movement. ‘They get to know everything about a partner before they commit,’ she says. And a study out of Emory University shows that couples who date for at least three years before locking things down are almost 40% less likely to split than those who commit seriously within a year.
