Do not confuse falling in love once or twice too soon with emophilia. It is expected that not many would find their Mr. Right in their first relationship. However, having failed relationships and starting too soon may be a problem. Being in a romantic relationship involves emotions. It is what people tag as love. So if a person constantly falls in love in so little time, then they may have hemophilia.

Symptoms of Emophilia

Emophilia is not a clinical condition or mental illness. But it can be observed by certain behavioral patterns. People with such signs find it easy to fall in love. They may also appear to move on too quickly, believing they found the one! Signs of a person with emophilia include:

Moving On Too Quickly

Within a short period of leaving a relationship, such individuals can start again. It is almost as if they fail to hold on to memories. They could be head over heels in love with the next person sooner than normal.

Showing Visibly That They Are In Love

For such persons, it is usually serious business. They show off their love for the new person. At the same time, they believe their lover is Mr. Right. It doesn’t matter the number of heartbreaks. The new one is always the best one.

Getting Too Attached

There is an emotional attachment that happens seamlessly. Most times, the other party is yet to fully commit. Or they may lag in proving themselves. Yet, people with emophilia make excuses and see the romance as worthwhile.

Ignoring Red Flags

Making up excuses and staying in love may be a sign of emophilia. No matter how badly they are treated, they continue to feel obsessed. Rather than bolt out of toxic romance, their emotions keep them locked in. While some may recognize the red flags, leaving is not up for debate. Instead, they run with the idea of being in love.

Could Engage In Dangerous Activities

Since appearing in love is more crucial, they try to keep the other person to themselves. This includes having unprotected sex or giving in to other demands. In the end, getting approval is all that matters.

How To Tackle Emophilia

The one at the receiving end is always the one with emophilia. They feel exhausted from trying too hard. Such emotions also leave one feeling depressed. So ultimately, there is truly no benefit to having such traits. Overcoming emophilia would involve:

Make A List

To avoid being in too many relationships, draw a list. This should contain Mr. or Mrs. Right’s must-haves. What values would make the perfect person attractive? In the end, it restricts a person with emophilia from falling for the wrong people.

Comments From Family and Friends

Be open to discussing with loved ones. Their opinion of a person can influence the emotions invested.

Try Out A Few More Dates

A few more hangouts with the same person may not be a bad idea. Experience falling in love, this time, more slowly. This would help in emotional consolidation.

Final Note

It is never truly late to correct emophilia. The first step is acceptance. Additionally, understanding the effects of such behavior is important. Lastly, prioritize self-love over falling in love.
