Relationships Moving Really Fast in TV and Movies

[cemejacky]

I've been thinking lately about how often we see relationships take off really fast in TV shows and movies. The characters will meet, fall in-love almost immediately, go on a couple of dates, assume their relationship status has changed to "committed, monogamous," and suddenly, six months into the show they're moving in together or even getting married (and sometimes in even less time than that). Heather explained very well (and concisely) the importance of taking things slowly or at a reasonable rate in relationships in this thread (the quote pertains mostly to this importance after leaving an abusive relationship, but I feel it can be applied either way):

whatever works for you.. i don't have a set speed limit for how quickly you can get to know someone and what's 'enough' before you make 'big' decisions..

trust takes a while to work on whether you're living together or not.
