Kristin Cavallari has learned from her past relationship mistakes and has set a strict 6-month dating rule to help navigate love. According to the reality TV star, she has gotten confused by infatuation multiple times in her relationships, and it's led her to develop this rule.
Infatuation can be a confusing and all-consuming feeling, especially when we're young. For Cavallari, this period typically lasts anywhere from three to six months, during which time attraction may be stronger than love. In an effort to avoid making long-term plans with someone too quickly or getting too close before truly knowing them, she has implemented a dating rule.
Cavallari acknowledges that this approach might not always work, as "time will tell" if the infatuation felt at the beginning of the relationship will turn into love. However, for her, it's essential to take time to get to know someone beyond their initial charm and explore whether they're truly compatible in the long run.
This dating rule serves as a safeguard against acting impulsively or getting too caught up in attraction without considering the potential consequences of making a decision that may not be best for her. Cavallari emphasizes the importance of love being different from infatuation, explaining that she loves all of her friends but doesn't want to make out with them โ highlighting this distinction between loving someone's personality and feeling an intense physical attraction.
In her recent podcast episode, Cavallari shared more about how she has struggled with infatuation in the past, admitting she once said "I love you" to people before truly knowing if they were right for her. She emphasizes that everyone who she eventually fell in love with was also someone she was initially infatuated with.
After her high-profile divorce from former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, Cavallari has been open about trying new things and exploring different relationships. However, after dating TikTok creator Mark Estes for seven months, the two ultimately broke up, citing that "I just know long-term it's not right" as their reason.
Cavallari emphasizes that age is a significant factor to consider in relationships โ young people need time to explore life and form themselves. By taking a step back from infatuation and focusing on getting to know someone over six months, she hopes to find love that lasts.
