Many do, thinking that they have the right person, but end up regreting their move. Do you think its wise to rush into a relationship with a person whom you've just met?

i think is will be very hard to have a relationship with an acquaintance because you should know the person fully before you enter into a serious relationship. getting to know the person first is very important in entering into a relationship. you should commit yourself to that person, what if he or she is not feeling the same way towards you, you will be hurt in the end and you will regret it only. Rush always result to failure. like rushing in going to office might take you to an accident. rush in meeting the deadlines might result to errors in your report. get what i mean.thanks

Relationship are build over times and rushing it up might end of regretting their moves, i believe it should be give time to bloom. knowing each other is very much necessary for a healthy relationship and for that we need to give each other time as well as space.

Why not? If it feels right they I don't see what's wrong with that. Sometimes when you meet someone you have an instant connection so there is no point hanging about if you both already know what you want. On some occasions though it is much more sensible to wait for example if you both don't really know anything about each other and it is just pure lust. I had only met my boyfriend 3 times before we got together and everyone thought we had rushed into it but we didn't care because for us it had felt like we had waited forever. Everyone thought we would break up but here we are 3 years later happier than ever. You can't be the judge of someone elses relationship as you don't know what the connection feels like for them, we can only offer advice

Hello suchi, I personally knew a couple who met accidentally. They met in a party where they are both invited by common friends,and after that night they dated each other and after a month they get married and till now they are happily married for 21 years. I also had a friend who was engaged for almost 10 years,and...before their marriage,she have come to know that her fiancee is dating other girl. So,i guess,it is not a matter of long engagement or short acquaintance...it is the feeling(mutual understanding)that matters most.
