Dating fatigue is a normal part of the dating journey. Its important to learn to cope with it rather than letting it defeat you. If you want to have a relationship, theres no reason you cant. You just have to continue to learn, grow, shift your mindset, and take good care of yourself.

How do you make dating less exhausting?

To keep yourself from feeling like dating is taking over your brain, spend time pursuing hobbies and friendships that bring you joy. “Dont stop being fun, interesting, and healthy, and dont stop living your best life,” Masini says. “The more fortified you feel, the less your mediocre dates will get you down.”
