Why can someone feel incredibly important before you really know who they are?

In this episode of Modern Relationships, I explore why attachment can develop so quickly in early dating — sometimes long before we have enough information to know whether a relationship is actually compatible.

We look at the difference between disclosure and intimacy, how constant texting can accelerate a sense of closeness, why being chosen can become more important than evaluating the relationship, and why early intensity is not always evidence of long-term compatibility.

I also explore a distinction that can be useful in modern dating: attachment can happen quickly, but knowing someone usually takes time.

A reflective episode about early attachment, dating anxiety, emotional intimacy, compatibility and modern relationships.
