Too much love will kill you, just as sure as none at all

The most important feature of it all is that it is compatible with the natural bonding process (I think even NTs could benefit from it). That's because the primary things that kills attachments are aggression and anger. These will happen if you feel anger, or the one you have a crush on express anger or aggression towards you, and thus such things naturally will kill your crush and interest without excessive pain.

The worse thing in traditional dating, that happens repeatedly is that a girl initially shows some interest in you, and this builds up your attachment to her, and then she ignores you. In this scenario you must respond with an attachment killer, which typically is anger, otherwise you will get into long-term pain of a slowly vanishing attachment.

Now, if you refuse to engage in typical dating, and instead get crushes on interesting girls and don't immediately try to socialize with them, you will never end up in the worst-case scenario of typical dating. That's because if the girl has no serious interest for you she will ignore you, and because you are never led-on, your attachment will be shallow and easy to get out of if she continues to ignore you. If she thinks you are interesting, you respond by requiring some persistence in her interest before you let your attachment build-up too much by advancing to the verbal stage. That will make it necessary for her to start the attachment process as well, which makes it as hard for her to get out of it as it is for you. In my experience, girls that engage in this process will not suddenly stop being interested. Rather, the only thing that could go wrong is that you will not see them a lot, and then you could decide to play it purely imaginary, or let the attachment fade slowly.

Basically, the only ones that benefit from typical dating are gamers, abusers, attention seekers and narcissists, none of which you want to have as long-term partners.
