Most people have heard of burnout – the term was originally related to work and happened when people felt exhausted and disinterested in work and often life in general.

What is dating burnout? Pretty much the same as regular burnout – you can’t bring yourself to get ready for yet another date, you experience a lack of interest in dating overall, you feel exhausted and you have lost hope of meeting anyone remotely decent.

Dating has significantly changed in the naughties – we have more access to singles through different means, yet it has never been harder to meet ‘the one’ or someone we at least want to date. Now because there appears to be so many options and singles available it is more depressing when you don’t find the relationship you are looking for.

In the age of Tinder and internet dating, dating really can feel like a 2nd job. Dating apps can be accessed through your mobile phone so the whole dating world is EVER present.

Now 2 things can happen at this stage:

  1. You become overwhelmed by the contact; and/or
  2. You don’t have much luck. So you feel like there is no hope. You think with all those singles out there that you still can’t find anyone.

The frustration you feel at this point is totally understandable and it is now you are susceptible to dating burnout!

In this weeks podcast, I give you tips to AVOID dating burnout and enjoy dating.
