Understanding Dating Burnout

Dating burnout is a prevalent issue among individuals in their 20s, with a significant portion feeling disheartened by their experiences in the dating world. Studies indicate that a considerable percentage of active daters report feeling exhausted and discouraged, primarily due to the overwhelming nature of online dating platforms. This form of burnout manifests as a feeling of dread or obligation rather than excitement about dating, leading many to approach it as a chore rather than a fulfilling activity. The emotional toll this takes can create a negative cycle, causing individuals to anticipate failure and rejection with each new encounter.
