Feeling Burnt Out From Dating in Boston?
Back in 2019, I went on a few marathon dates with this guy.
Meaning, in a span of two days I spent about 10-12 hours with him (each date was 5 hours or so )
I really liked him and we talked about deeper things than normal.
I felt connected and excited for what would come and for the potential.
After this intense and exciting whirlwind of 2 days…
He told me “thanks but no thanks”.
Turns out he was still caught up on his ex and didn’t want to lead me on.
I appreciated him being direct and honest.
But….
I was emotionally EXHAUSTED.
I had just spent SO much time, effort, and energy getting to know this person in a short span of time.
I felt annoyed and frustrated…
Mainly at myself.
A few weeks ago, I shared the concept of grounded optimism when you start dating someone new.
Proceed with optimism…
AND ALSO stay grounded in what you want, your energy, and what’s important to you.
After that experience, I learned that for me…
It’s important to not drain my energy in a short span of time on someone that I didn’t know their intentions yet.

If you find yourself:
Burnt out/drained from dating
Always initiating or reaching out first
Carrying the conversation
Hating awkward silences/pauses
Emotionally exhausted
Investing too much too quickly
Today’s podcast episode is going to be a good one to listen to.
