For some, love happens at first sight. Upon meeting a complete stranger, they feel, “I’ve been waiting for this person!” Many people may experience this feeling once or twice in their lifetime, and there’s nothing unusual about it. However, is it really a good thing to be repeatedly overwhelmed by such feelings of infatuation?
Love is undoubtedly a priceless and joyful emotion. But just as love cannot thrive with only one person involved, it also requires trust, faith, and commitment. When someone falls in love frequently, only the joy remains, while the other important aspects quickly fade away or never develop at all. As a result, this happiness becomes merely a fleeting moment.
This tendency to fall in love quickly and often occurs in a small number of people, a phenomenon known scientifically as “Emophilia.” However, there is no direct test to determine if you have “Emophilia,” as it is not a disease. Instead, let’s explore more about this issue. You can assess for yourself whether you might be experiencing this problem through the following considerations—
Relationship status

As a result, they may be destitute of the true happiness that a stable relationship gives. May become a laughing stock to classmates or colleagues. Specially after marriage, If they continue to get involved in new relationships even after marriage, they could find themselves in socially unstable situations.
Potential Dangers

If the person they fall in love with is not honest or sincere, they could take unfair advantage of the emophiliac’s emotions. This could lead to financial exploitation or even coercion into physical intimacy. Because of their “blind love,” the person affected by emophilia may feel compelled to fulfill all the demands of their partner, even when they themselves are unsure how long the relationship will last or how long they wish to keep it going.
Taking Steps Toward a Solution
Relationships start from emotions. But acting ‘adult’ in any relationship is also a prudent person’s responsibility. Everyone should feel that liking someone is not love.

Even if a relationship breaks up, you should give yourself some time before getting into a new relationship. And if you can’t control yourself at all about the relationship, then definitely seek expert advice.
