Is the search for love online leaving you drained? You’re not alone. On this “What’s Trending,” hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes and guest holistic psychology expert Charlotte Lewis break down AP News’ tips to manage “dating app burnout.”
Set Boundaries
Setting boundaries on your dating app usage can help prevent burnout. Charlotte advises to start off by limiting the time you spend on the apps and put more attention to friends, family, and real people in your life.
Focus on Quality over Quantity
Prioritizing meaningful connections over the number of matches can enhance your online dating experience. Charlotte says it’s about knowing what you want and what kind of connections you’re looking for while keeping an open mind. Focus on one or two people at a time so you can really get to know who they are and ask deeper questions.
Practice Self-Care
Self-care practices can help lower the stress and fatigue associated with online dating. Breathe and remind yourself that you’re a fully-functioning, real human being, not just a picture on an app that can get swiped.
