They overlook all the red flags and toxic patterns. Only for reality to hit like a truck later, they can't stop to consider whether their object of interest was worth getting or staying in a relationship with for people with an anxious attachment style. This question might not even come up until it's too late because they tend to have overly optimistic views of their romantic partners and then get emotionally sucked in.

For adults, most intimate relationships are with romantic partners. When you know your boundaries, you don't have to backtrack to reestablish how to be treated.

Even if you're not attracted to him, he would be a safe guy to meet. I had told her she could give out my email. I started biting a strand of my hair. Part of me wanted to click on the email. Another part felt reluctant. I thought back to how the last guy I dated had started sending me threatening and sexually provocative emails and texts. I ended up going to the courthouse during one of my lunch breaks to file a restraining order. I opened the email and began reading. My stomach started fluttering and my whole nervous system caught on fire. Dan started by writing. It's rare to find people you hit it off with.
