Send us a textDating burnout—it’s a real thing, and it’s hitting harder than ever. As women, we’re faced with a sea of options, but too many choices quickly become overwhelming. Every match, every message comes with expectations, and for some reason, the most demanding ones seem to rise to the top. But here’s the twist: half the time, those options aren’t even real possibilities. Some men on dating apps lack the most basic survival skills; it’s almost comedic. Honestly, there should be a TV show dedicated to giving men a reality check on what not to do on a date. Women already get a taste of potential dangers through true crime shows—we know what’s at stake. But it’s exhausting when every swipe feels like a gamble. And with all these options, you’d think we’d find the right one, yet somehow, we’re stuck cycling through the wrong ones. It’s like picking the lesser evil, only to be disappointed. Eventually, it gets to the point where everyone starts to look like a potential bad date, and that enthusiasm turns into hesitation.And then there’s the flip side. For men, finding a match can feel like spotting a unicorn. The options can be scarce, which means the stakes feel higher, and some guys jump in headfirst—maybe too enthusiastically. They’re quick to turn a warm reply into something overly forward, and suddenly, the whole vibe is gone. So, what’s happening here? Why has modern dating become this endless mess for everyone involved? This is where dating burnout sets in. Personally, after a single bad date that’s taken weeks of buildup, I feel like I’m set back for months, while my guy friends seem to bounce back immediately, onto the next one the very next day. It’s like we’re on completely different timelines of recovery. But the truth is, we’re all just trying to navigate this wild world of dating without losing our sanity. Today, I’ll dive into some of my own dating horror stories and lessons learned. Because while bad dates happen, we can at least try to learn something from them. Thanks for tuning into Irreplaceable!
