There’s no denying that dating can be

exhilarating. But from endless swiping to

meeting to rejecting (or being rejected

by) dozens of matches, it can also be

profoundly exhausting. When you haven’t

found success, and you’ve become

reliant on your smartphone to try to find

the person you want to be with long-

term, it’s easy to grow disillusioned and

resent the entire experience.

SWIPE, MATCH, MEET. SWIPE, MATCH, MEET.

DATING FATIGUE IS REAL—AND A COMMON

PROBLEM. TO REBOOT YOUR SEARCH FOR

LOVE, CONSIDER TAPPING OUT FOR A WHILE.
