Dating App Burnout Is Real

Dating apps can leave us feeling drained. The endless swiping, ghosting, and small talk that goes nowhere often makes it feel more like a chore than a way to connect. If you’ve ever felt this exhaustion, you are not alone.

Together let's talk openly about the struggles of dating apps without getting stuck in the negatives. We will explore what sits underneath the burnout and what we actually want to experience in a relationship. By shifting the focus from endless profiles to what really matters, dating can start to feel clearer and less frustrating.

I will begin with a short reflection on why apps feel so heavy and then open the circle for conversation. You will have the chance to share stories, spot patterns, and walk away with new perspectives on how to approach dating in a way that feels healthier and more true to you.

This is not about tips or tricks. It is about remembering your worth, reclaiming your energy, and finding a more intentional path to the kind of connection you want.

You will leave with a lighter heart and maybe even a renewed sense of hope that something real is out there.

ADDITIONAL INFO

This is not a dating event.
