New Love Rush

Ahhhh... That feeling when you first fall in love. Life around you feels more colorful and vibrant, food even seems to taste better. A little spring to your walk seems to be natural and it feels as if you conquer the world. Falling in love is without a doubt a rush. It's an endless adrenaline that keeps you awake at night fantasizing about what is to come in the relationship. We are telling everyone we are in love, just short of shouting it from the rooftops of every building around. A few months down the road and things seem to have fizzled out. The rush you once felt seems to be gone or missing from your love. The next thing you know you end up parting ways, only to feel defeated emotionally and mentally. Wondering what went wrong and what could've been done differently up until this point.

Don't beat yourself up to terribly. The feeling of a new relationship is an addicting rush for some people. For some people, after a months of new relationship when the honeymoon phase wears off and its time for a real time relationship they flee. There's nothing you could've done differently or anything you can do to make them stay. Some people are just only interested in that initial rush of a new relationship. To them it is game to see how long they can keep that rush alive and to leave when it dies down. To them it's a pure addiction. To us, the unsuspecting people, it seems as if our whole world has been turned inside out and it leaves us heartbroken and wondering where we went wrong. Because our logic is that everything was so perfect, why change a thing? We must realize to the other person it's a addiction, just like a drug addiction. With drugs, people start out loving the drug, then they continue because they are addicted to that rush and are forever chasing that first high. It's the same with relationships, when that rush is gone they are off to the next person for the next rush.

Some of the signs that these people show are quite clear, even in the beginning. They are risk takers and this is something you can pick up from someone after knowing them for a little while. They seem totally focused on you and nothing else in their life matters. They even say things that seem to be to good to be true, that's a sure sign. If they are addicted to any substance is also an indication that addiction runs in their personality. If they over glorify past sexual experiences in past relationships is another good indicator that this a love rush person. These people are very much into instant gratification and sometimes wll go to any length to achieve it. But most of all, trust and use your gut instinct... If it's to good to be true it probably is.
