What To Do When You're Feeling Burnt Out From Dating

Just like we can get burnt out from our jobs and business, we can get burnt out from dating. Below are three things I recommend when you find yourself feeling burnt out from dating.

Journal it out - Set aside some time to reflect on and get real honest with yourself. What is causing you to feel burnt out in dating? Is it the quality of dates you’re going on? The expectations you’re setting for yourself and date? Not feeling deep connections? A timeline?
Take a break. Yes I said it. This is the one tip most people do not want to hear. I get it. You really want to meet someone and soon, and so taking a break feels counterintuitive. However, at the pace you’re going, it is not sustainable. And you’ll most likely rush into a relationship that won’t be a great fit. So in my opinion, the best thing to do is to take a break from dating. Pause your dating apps. Spend time reinvigorating your personal life. Do the things that bring you joy. Then once you’re feeling a bit more like yourself, you can step into the dating world again with renewed energy and clarity.
Focus on taking care of yourself. The state of our dating lives is directly correlated to the state of our own personal lives. Spend some time taking care of yourself. Book yourself a spa date if needed. Spend a weekend reading in bed. Meal plan for the week. Give yourself a lot of TLC. Rest. Take a nap.

When you’re feeling burnt out in dating, this is a good indicator to stop and pay attention to what your body is telling you. Feeling burnt out is a signal that something needs to change, and the best thing you can do is to pay attention to those signals.
