Melannie Gregersen warns that toxic people move fast in dating, charming partners quickly before their true nature shows. She explains how rapid attraction can blind you to red flags until it's too late.
You wanna talk about awkward? One of the most awkward things is when you are interested in someone, you start to get to know them a little bit, and then you go, "Oh no, this is a really bad idea." And things can get awkward very, very fast. Most people, most people will skip this step. And they'll just assume, "Nah, nah, she's probably not toxic. She's too beautiful. Oh no, she's adorable." And they skip this step and they set themselves up for failure. I can't tell you how many amazing men get trapped before they even know what's happened to them. Because toxic people move very, very fast. They know how to be very charming and very captivating, and they move really fast so that you don't notice who they are until it's sort of too late.
