You don't fall in love too fast.
You fall too accurately-too early. If you often sense who someone is long before they show it,
if you read tone, pauses, contradictions, and emotional leaks with unsettling precision,
this book is not about how to love better.
It is about why your relationships keep ending the same way,
and how to stop being dragged there again.
---
This book is for people who:
Feel "too aware" in relationships
Sense problems early but stay anyway
Confuse intuition with understanding
Give meaning before behavior proves it
Keep thinking, "I knew it... but I hoped I was wrong"
You are not naive.
You are not emotionally weak.
You are structurally unprotected.

The Odysseus Protocol
In the Odyssey, Odysseus did not block out the Sirens' song.
He bound himself to the mast.
Not because he lacked willpower-
but because he understood it.
This book introduces The Odysseus Protocol:
a system designed for people whose intuition is strong enough to betray them.
You will not be told to suppress your emotions.
You will be taught how to bind them-so they stop steering the ship.

What You'll Learn
Why strong intuition becomes a liability in intimacy
How the brain selectively remembers "correct" instincts and erases mistakes
Why repeated endings are not bad choices-but repeated entry patterns
How expectation forms before reality, and collapses relationships from the inside
Why human duality isn't the problem-lack of structure is
How to design emotional boundaries that don't rely on willpower
When to pause, when to wait, and when to leave-without self-betrayal

The Four Rules of the Odysseus Protocol
1. Do not trust first feelings
2. Delay interpretation
3. Design expectations-don't assume them
4. Create an exit before you need one
These rules are not gentle.
They are not comforting.
They are precise.

This Is Not a Dating Book
This is not about finding "better people."
It is about stopping emotional overinvestment before reality earns it.
You will not become colder.
You will become harder to consume.

When you stop being pulled by every wave,
only those who can sail with you remain.
Those are the ones worth keeping.
