About this episode

In our 20s it can feel like a mad rush to find the one. If you are single and dating, you know the experience of going on what seems like dozens of dates only to be disappointed and, at the end of the day, exhausted and yet you still haven't found someone. In this episode, we discuss why that is including: 

  • The signs your experiencing dating burnout
  • What dating burnout and traditional burnout have in common
  • The role of swipe based dating apps 
  • Why this occurs and the emotional impact 
  • The psychology of a 'dating detox' 
  • How to have FUN when dating and how to overcome dating burnout 

Listen now if nothing seems to be working when it comes too feeling frustrated and exhausted when it comes to dating in your 20s.
