Ask Aimee: Dating Burnout

Hi girls,

Have you ever experienced dating burnout? I know I sure have... especially when dating using dating apps.

After about 6 months on Hinge, I found myself tired of the hearts, comments, and matches. Even though I was meeting great guys, I knew I still hadn't met the right one. 😅

Here's how I dealt with my burnout:

I was open to taking a break.

I happened to meet my now boyfriend when I was just about to take a break. Had I not met him, I would have taken a break to enjoy and better myself before jumping back into online dating.

Make dating a part of your life, not your whole life.

It might just be that you need boundaries when it comes to dating. If dating is taking away from self-care, sleep, or time with family and friends, then you need to put dating in its rightful place - a part of your life.

Rethink your profile.

A part of the burnout could be meeting a bunch of people who are NOT what you're looking for. Updating your profile to target the type of guy you actually want can help make dating fun, instead of tiring.

If you're dealing with dating burnout and put any of these tips to use, I would love to hear if it helped you! 💖

xoxo,
