When I met my wife, we wrote letters on a forum, then spoke on the phone, then met in daylight at a museum. Slow, deliberate steps. The tools changed, but the nervous systems haven’t. Constant novelty taxes them. My grandkids binge-swipe and call it fun; I watch them deflate. Consider treating the app like a library catalog: you search, you check out one book, you actually read it. Then you return it and choose another. Dating app burnout feels new, but it’s the old problem of too much choice and too little attention.

girl lemme tell you, the algorithm feeds whatever mood you’re in. I started swiping after pilates, playlist on, bare minimum mascara, and suddenly my picks were giving “let’s actually meet.” When I’m doom-tired, it’s chaos. Put dates on the calendar like workouts. Protect the vibe and the vibe protects you.
