life-changing decisions aren't going to sit around and wait 3 years for limerence to wear off. True, that's a tough cookie. I guess the best choice in that case is to recognize the situation and try to rationally analyze it (e.g. "I'm not really in a good position in life to marry that women/have kids/move thousands of kilometers to a different continent to peruse this cute girl I've met 3 days ago while backpacking in the Himalayas[1]") and act accordingly - even though that's not very romantic. Easier said than done, though. [1] Unfortunately that one comes from personal experience.
