The idea of dating and romance has changed and most people are caught up in meaningless buzzwords these days. Dating can be tricky with most people zombieing, ghosting and breadcrumbing making the dating experience an anxious one.

If you are tired of dating through dating apps and being frustrated with speaking to several people without seeing where that communication is leading, you could be experiencing dating fatigue.

Relationship Coach Minaa B describes dating app fatigue, “Sometimes, looking for love can feel like an endless pursuit. However, finding love is totally possible when it comes from a place of alignment and not fatigue or burnout.

I’ve had moments of experiencing dating app fatigue from being chronically ghosted, matching with users with poor communication skills, or not meeting someone who shares my values. In my journey of using dating apps, I learned that you own the experience and can always alter it when it feels like it’s no longer working for you,”

Manage Time Spent on Dating Apps

Dr Callisto Adams, a Dating and relationship expert says,  “Setting clear limits on exactly how long you intend to swipe on dating apps can be a great way to manage fatigue. It can be easy to get lost in the surge of swiping, so it’s important to take a step back and be mindful of how much time you’re spending online.

When you’re continuously swiping on a dating app, it can become easy to zone out and lose touch with what you truly want from a partner. This can leave you with numerous matches, but none you’d have a genuine interest in. Instead, make sure to stay true to what you’re looking for from a potential match.”

Limit the Number of People You Communicate With At The Same Time

Adam reiterates that speaking to multiple people at the same time will make you lose track of your conversations. This may result in never connecting on a deeper and genuine level with a single individual. In order to form deeper and genuine connections, it’s advisable to limit the number of conversations you partake in at once.

Manage Your Expectations From The Beginning

Searching for the perfect partner can be exciting and daunting at the same time. However, it’s important to manage your expectations before you go into it. As a matter of fact, not everyone you match with on the dating apps is going to be right for you. You mustn’t expect too much from an online love prospect to avoid disappointment later on.

Don’t Put Pressure on Yourself

Adam shares, “With all things considered, it’s important to not put too much pressure on yourself while online dating. If you’re not enjoying your experience, or you feel it’s becoming too overwhelming, have a break and try to reconnect with yourself.”
