When your exhausted with dating
In my usual style, I’m going to get right to the point. If you’re tired of dating then take a break. Nope, this isn’t a guilt trip or something to push you into action, if you need a break then take one. In my years of dating there were times I felt hopeful and excited and other times, dating felt like a damn chore. Who needs another chore?
I’ve heard countless horror stories and everyone thinks they have the best, more horrendous stories. They usually don’t. Really, they all sound the same after a while with the occasional “omg, he didn’t!” reaction. What I’m really telling you here is to listen to yourself. You don’t need to defend your feelings or argue your point. I’m with you. As a woman who is unapologetically me, I completely affirm that you know when you really need to do (or not do) something.
A common gripe from men is women having negative attitudes. Don’t you worry, I’ve made the “they wouldn’t act x, y, or z way if you guys would get your shit together” point. But it’s moot. Nobody (including me) wants to be around a negative attitude and if your head isn’t in the right place then acknowledge and honor that. Take a break and do some visualization exercises, spend more time on self-care, prioritize time with your friends – whatever gets you back in to a good mindset.
Need an idea for where to start? What do you enjoy doing for the simple pleasure of doing it? You don’t need to Instagram it, it’s not necessary to have a conversation about it on Facebook, you just like doing it because it recharges your energy and leaves you feeling more calm and balanced. Start there.
