Definition
Urgency to escalate emotional or physical commitment faster than feels comfortable.
Why It Matters
Healthy pacing is mutual. Pressure usually benefits the person applying it, not the relationship.
Examples
- • Wants exclusivity in days
- • Pushes for a label before you have met
- • Frames your pace as a sign of disinterest
What It May Indicate
Impatience, insecurity, or a pattern of fast starts and quick exits.
What to Do Next
Propose your own pace and see whether it is welcomed or resented.
When to Slow Down
Whenever you feel rushed, even if you cannot articulate why.
When to Disengage
If pressure continues after you state your pace.

FAQ
Is wanting a relationship fast always bad?
Not always, but mutual pacing matters. If only one person sets the speed and resents any slowness, that is a warning.
