Top Tips to Avoid Dating Burnout

Swiping on the apps gets old. I get it. If you’re anything like me you’ve literally tried them ALL. But, let’s think about HOW you’re swiping. Are you doing it with intention or disgust? Are you swiping with the idea that it’s a complete waste of time and nothing good will ever come of it? Well, if you are then do yourself a favor and step awayyyy from the phone! For now. Let’s reframe this.

Dating apps are just another opportunity for us to connect with single people and if we view it as such the whole experience changes. Trust me. Rather than swiping with the idea that nothing good will ever come of it, try swiping with the mindset that this is just another opportunity to meet single people. But, dating apps are just one of the many other opportunities to meet your match.

Ask yourself really…what else are you trying? How are you meeting new people? If you want to meet more single people you need to cast a wider net. You need to leave your house! You need to get out and do things that you enjoy doing. For example, one of my favorite things to do is go to arts festivals. So you know what single Jill does? She goes to arts festivals. You know what Jill in a relationship does? She goes to arts festivals, with or without her man. So my point is, don’t sit home and wait for a partner to do the things you love to do. Do those things and you may meet someone who also loves to do those things!

Be proactive!

Focus on opportunities that put you in front of new people. Join us at one of my local events for singles or try my matchmaking service. Say, “YES!” to invitations to things you may not otherwise do. Sign up for a cooking, art or history class… whatever interests YOU! Join a gym, join a running or hiking club, a weekly poker game… you get the idea. Make yourself seen. Get out there and shine your light. Absolutely nothing is more attractive than confidence. But, always check your MINDSET to avoid the dreaded dating burnout.

The point is to get out and enjoy experiences and create more opportunities, to meet more people, to cast a wider net. You really never know where these connections can lead you. The person you meet at your new class may not be the love of your life but maybe her best friend is, or maybe he invites you to a party after and you meet your match there or maybe not. But either way you are LIVING your life and not waiting around to find someone to live it with.
