Just because you can get engaged in a week doesn't mean you should. Introduce a mandatory "Family Friday" —after two weeks of fast texting, force a slow, in-person meal with an elder present. Their intuition catches what your hormones miss.

To understand "extra speed," one must first understand the traditional baseline. Historically, Azeri relationships followed a deliberate, community-regulated timeline:

In this old model, "speed" was considered suspicious. A quick marriage meant either a pregnancy out of wedlock or a shady background. However, the last decade has introduced extra speed—a hyper-accelerated version of every stage.

In traditional relationships, breaking up required a family mediator. In extra speed Azeri relationships, it requires only a block button. "Ghosting"—disappearing without explanation—is now a pandemic. One study of Azeri youth (ages 18-25) found that 67% had been ghosted after what they thought was a "serious" two-week romance.

This leads to extreme digital surveillance: checking a partner’s "last seen" status on WhatsApp, monitoring their follower count, and demanding password access. Speed creates distrust.
