When feelings grow faster than commitment:

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. – Song of Songs 2.7

Feelings of love can create intimacy that overpowers reason. Young people are too often in a hurry to develop an intimate relationship based on their strong feelings.  But feelings aren’t enough to support a lasting relationship.  This verse encourages us not to force romance lest the feelings of love grow faster than the commitment needed to make love last.  Patiently wait for feelings of love and commitment to develop together.
