The single life can wear on someone when it seems like dating has become less enjoyable and more of a job. The concept of "burnout" normally is applied to work situations, but it's very real for those trying to find love, too. Well-meaning friends might set you up on a billion blind dates, or your online dating service may be working overtime to match you up. Regardless, meeting all those people, particularly when a love connection rarely is made, gets frustrating. So how can you avoid burnout? First, if you sense that you're not enthusiastic about going out, or the caliber of your dates is suffering, then take a break. Pursue other interests and hobbies in place of dating for a while. Another way to break burnout is to stop overanalyzing yourself. Easier said than done, right?
