Relationship Progress Management: Neither too long, too short, too frequent nor too fast in love is advisable. I have always believed that love is like cooking rice, where the heat control is crucial. If the time spent together is too short, the relationship will be undercooked like half-cooked rice; if it's too long, the relationship will get burnt like overcooked rice. A love that is just right is like seasonal fruits, which taste the best when they naturally ripen.
