This one might raise a few eyebrows, eight months feels like forever in today’s fast-moving dating world! But there’s real wisdom behind it.
Waiting gives you time to see the person beyond the spark. The first few months are usually clouded by excitement and attraction . During this period, people tend to show their best sides and hide their flaws, often without realizing it.
By month six or eight, however, life’s real sides begin to show ,how they handle stress, disappointments, finances, friendships, and even communication. That’s when you truly get to know someone’s character.
Of course, some might argue that eight months is too long ,that connection should evolve naturally, not on a timeline. And that’s fair. The goal isn’t a fixed rule but rather a reminder to slow down and observe before you commit.
