Maybe I need to take a break from dating
Post Body

I (32F) have been going on dates for about a year and a half now. Dated two guys briefly this year. On dates, I’m finding it hard to want to go on a second date.

Some have suggested to be more selective with who I go on dates with. I think that’s a good point.

I might be burnt out going on so many dates and not much happening with any of them.

I’d love to find someone, but maybe right now I’m just not having the best of luck.

I plan on taking a break. Not sure how long. When do people get back out there? Do I try again when I feel excited about dating? Do I do more some self reflection and try just living life without thinking about dating? Is it normal to feel burnt out?

The main issue is probably quality of men I’m meeting and me not feeling much on first dates. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea too but it’s been so hard to click with anyone except the two I dated this year. Is the common denominator me?

I think a break would be good but for how long I’m not sure.

Edit: it was becoming a quantity over quality situation for me as I was going on dates and not really being selective enough. I don’t mean quality as in the guys are “low” quality or not good people. Every guy I’ve been on a date with was a good person and nice. Quality was the wrong word choice, didn’t know what to use instead in the moment.
