This episode is about the 72-hour fantasy, the kind of perfect weekend that feels like a relationship and then disappears without explanation.

A Thursday night drink turns into three straight days together. Breakfasts, errands, meeting friends, inside jokes, future pacing. It feels real, fast, and intoxicating. Then Sunday ends. Monday comes. And the silence starts.

I walk through how intensity gets mistaken for compatibility, why alcohol and proximity accelerate false intimacy, and how loneliness after a breakup can turn excitement into emotional hallucination. We talk about ghosting, triple texting, dopamine crashes, and why fast weekends are more dangerous than slow bad dates.

This isn’t about blame or closure. It’s about learning to slow down, protect your pacing, and stop crowning people off chemistry instead of consistency.

If you’ve ever been ghosted after a great first date or weekend, felt confused by mixed signals, or wondered how something that felt real vanished overnight, this episode will make sense of it.
