    Biology happens, and I’d still tell people, after significant experience with that: spend the time getting to know someone before sexing them. That hormone rush wears off after about three months, and it’s not great to find out you really don’t actually like a person you’re already sleeping with.

      Most people really aren’t willing to wait that long before engaging in anything physical. I suspect that people probably suffer a sort of relationship fomo in that they’re worried someone else will snag them if they don’t start.

        Yes. After significant experience with that, I would say that’s the difference between desperation and confidence.

        To illustrate, desperation = pick me, confidence = I’m enough.
