5 Strategies To Avoid Dating Burnout



"I'm just not going to date for awhile," is a frequent refrain I hear from my clients. There's often a lack of enthusiasm and resolve in the delivery, signaling ambivalence. You're probably familiar with the idea of burnout with respect to repetitive, boring jobs, or highly stressful work situations. Fatigue and a lack of interest in your work are among the signs. Actually, you can burnout on almost anything, including dating.
These are the telltale signs of dating burnout and strategies to avoid it.
  1. Lackluster interest in new dates. You must begin to ask yourself why you're pursuing someone at all if you can barely muster the enthusiasm to get ready. Or perhaps you've lowered the bar too much and your dates really aren't interesting.  It's time to focus on something else.
 Rekindle interest in something you've put on the back burner, so to speak. When dating takes over all of your spare time, you push away other interests that help keep you calm, sane and less stressed. De-stress by pursuing other interests. You'll probably find your lackluster interest is replaced with new energy from success with other challenges.
