Most people love the initial excitement during the early days of a relationship: The coziness of cuddling. The spontaneity of stolen kisses. But when things become more serious, some people instinctively leave.
Why?
The latest dating trend is called “flashpanning,” and it describes someone who indulges in the instant spark, only to ghost when the relationship becomes “too real.” Think, for instance, of a partner who loves the thrill of first dates but jumps ship when it’s time to meet the parents or become Instagram official.
