This Is What ‘Getting Attached Quickly’ Actually Means Because It’s Not About Being Clingy

She gets attached quickly, but that doesn’t mean she is clingy. It doesn’t mean she is going to send you twenty texts in a row, questioning where you are and who the hell you are with. It doesn’t mean she is going to ask you to move in too early into the relationship and expect a proposal before your first year together. It doesn’t mean she is going to drop to her knees and beg you to stay if you decide the relationship isn’t working out.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is that little things matter to her. Something as small as holding open the door for her will stick in her mind for months. Taking her out to her favorite restaurant, or making a home-cooked dinner from scratch, would mean the world to her. It doesn’t take much to make her happy. You just have to treat her right.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is that she has a big heart. She cares about other people more than she cares about herself. If you share a special connection, then right from the start she will love you with the same intensity as she loves the people who have been in her life since birth. She has a lot of affection to give and she isn’t shy about distributing it to the people who matter most.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is that she is excited to get to know you better. She is excited to kiss your lips. Excited to taste your cooking. Excited to fall asleep together. Excited to create a love story together. When she meets someone who makes her smile, someone who she can picture in her life for a long time, she is eager to spend time with them, to learn who they really are.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is that she is honest about her feelings. Instead of hiding how much she likes you, she spills her thoughts from her lips. Instead of playing hard to get, she puts in effort. Instead of pretending that she is some sort of unemotional robot in order to impress you, she lets you see her authentic self from the beginning.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is that she sees the best in people. Even if she barely knows you, she still grows attached, because she believes that you are a good person. She trusts that you won’t break her heart. She has faith that you will be as good to her as she is to you.

She gets attached quickly, but all that means is she will try her hardest not to hurt you. Even if you have just started seeing each other, she will delete her dating apps and stay faithful. Even if you’re not an official couple yet, she will work to make you happy. She will treat you the way that you deserve to be treated from day one. She will never disappoint you. She will love you right. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
