## Resource

This week on Too Much , Emma goes down the rabbit hole about one of the most dangerous things in modern dating: the marathon date. The 12-hour first date that turns into brunch, drinks, deep trauma dumping, making out at sunset, a sleepover, breakfast the next morning — and suddenly your brain is convinced you’ve found your husband after knowing a man for 14 business hours. Emma tells the story of what might still be the best first date of her life, then breaks down the psychology behind compressed intimacy, why chemistry clouds discernment, and how we end up falling in love with potential instead of patterns. It’s a brutally honest conversation about dopamine, attachment, fantasy, emotional pacing, and why someone can slow dance with you under the stars and still not be emotionally available. Romantic. Delusional. Slightly concerning. Extremely relatable. EPISODE SPONSORS: Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
