It's not just you. Dating can be exhausting.
While there are more tools available to meet a potential partner (hello, dating apps!), that doesn't necessarily mean the process of dating and finding that special someone has become any easier.
If you're tired of being disappointed by dates and matches and feel yourself becoming more hopeless about finding the romantic love you're looking for, you may be experiencing dating burnout.
For many, the solution has been to delete the apps and come back to them later. But unplugging and replugging alone won't change much. What will make the difference is what you do to address the root cause of your dating fatigue while you're on a dating detox.
In this 12-week program, you'll learn how to overcome dating burnout, reconnect with yourself, and make future dating experiences better than your past ones.
