The Real Reason Dating Apps Drain You 😩
The Real Reason Dating Apps Drain You 😩
Why do apps feel so exhausting?
Where do I start?!
🛒 People window shop on apps and rarely “check out” to a date.
🪄 Apps flatten your personality, and all the profiles blend into one.
👻 People behave in ways they never would in real life (and not in a good way).
📥 Maintaining dead-end chats can feel like a second inbox.
🤷 It’s hard to choose someone you really click with.
☕ And even if you go on a date, you can know within 2 seconds that it’s a “no thanks”… and still have to sit there and drink your coffee.
Real life is different. In cafés, bars, classes — you see someone’s energy, humour, presence.
When you realise you can meet someone anywhere, you stop waiting, stop settling, and start choosing.
I’m not saying give up dating apps — they work well for some people. But give them 20% of your effort and focus the rest offline, building the skills and experiences to meet your person in the real world.
