'Love Island UK': Is Haris' Three Month Rule Giving... Bullsh-t?
An expert unpacks Haris’ relationship advice after fans out him as a liar.
Love Island UK just might be the most addictive dating series with fans worldwide invested in the love lives of randos. Recently in the clusterf-ck that is finding love in the villa, contestant Haris Namani.
Haris semi-won the hearts of fans after revealing that he’d never had a girlfriend — but before you melt into mush, he was lying, your Honor. Just as swiftly as the contestant shared the news, fans discovered his influencer ex-girlfriend Courtney Hodgson whom he allegedly broke up with to join the show. According to comments from Hodgsons’ sister, he always seemed like he’d try to weasel his way out of the relationship and his last move was no surprise — despite how disheartening.

In a recent episode, Haris further unpacks his relationship expertise with the three-month rule. “I’ve always had situations where we’ve got along for the first two months, three months,” he said on the hit show. “After three months if it’s not a case of like ‘Wow, I’m going to bring this girl back home, I’m going to introduce her to my sisters or my mum’, it’s never came to that.”
According to the Inner Circle dating app, the three-month “relationship” is quite common and it’s called the “feelings gap.” During this time period, people decide if the relationship is worth the investment. The only issue is that it usually takes about three months for women, whereas men are “more prone to making snap decisions immediately — one week in, they’re likely to think you’re the one for them and they’re ready to go all in.” Unfortunately, at three months women may think the relationship is ready for exclusivity whereas men may be ready to exit stage left. Here, is where toxic habits like “ghosting, infrequent texts and eventual breakups,” occur.
So, despite Haris’ love for lying about his relationship status, he was indeed correct about the three-month rule. So act accordingly, ladies.
