Exhausted with the dating scene and wanna take a time out?
Perhaps you’re not so sure you should, just in case you end up on the
shelf and everyone gets taken in the meantime. If you’re in two minds,
join fow24news.com as we take a look at 10 good reasons to take a
break from dating.
Dating can be hard – but fun.
However, it’s only fun when you go on one or two great dates before
meeting someone cool who you enter into a relationship with. When you
become a serial dater who’s venturing out on at least one disastrous
date per month, on the other hand, dating is no longer fun. It’s
exhausting, tedious and kinda weird. It gets worse when you’re the one
who’s rejected, too. The emotional roller coaster of the whole thing
should be enough to put us off dating for life, but the question we
always return to is this: If we quit dating, wouldn’t we be single
forever? You don’t have to quit dating forever. But if you’re tired of
futile dates in the freezing cold, encounters with crazy guys and having
to change your number because some creeps won’t get the picture that
you don’t like them, you can always just take a break. Why should you?
Here are 10 good reasons to take a break from dating.
Rediscover Who You Are
Dating
can drawn you in to a sort-of parallel universe where you’re you – but
also someone else. You’re meeting up with all different kinds of guys
from different walks of life, and a lot of the time you have to adjust
your own personality a little. You know how it is: You’re on a date with
a cute guy who happens to be obsessed with Star Trek. You’ve never seen
it, but to impress you tell him you love it, too. And when he asks for
your favourite episode, you tell him you can’t choose just one. You love
them all! When you free yourself from the dating scene, you also free
yourself from discussing who other people are. You get a chance to
rediscover your own passions and hobbies. You’ve got more time to
dedicate yourself to do doing what you really love to do.
Because Being Single Is Fun!
Hey,
you’re single and guess what – lots of people are secretly jealous!
Being single is better than dating losers. You get to do whatever you
want, whenever you want. Have a blast!
You Stop Look
They
say that love comes when we’re not even looking for it. A lot of people
will surely agree with this. If you’ve been spending the best part of
the last year trying to force love out of a bunch of strangers online,
it might be a good idea to take yourself out of the firing line and let
nature and destiny take over. Give yourself up to the gods. You might
experience a lovely surprise when you least expect it.
You Can Focus On Making Friends Instead
Tired
of meeting people for love and it all going wrong? Why not ease the
pressure and widen your social circle instead? Meeting new people for
friendship is a lot easier than the pressure cooker environment of the
dating scene. You get to relax a bit more, take it easy, and don’t have
to worry about why he isn’t texting back. It’s so much more fun! Join an
app like Bumble and find new friends to hang out with.
You Reaffirm Your Self Image
It’s
1am. You went to bed an hour ago. You can’t sleep. You keep thinking
about him and why he hasn’t texted since 8pm. You deliberately left your
phone in another room so you wouldn’t check your phone in bed. After
all, you need sleep. Screw that! You leap out of bed into the freezing
cold, stub your toe on something and check your phone. He hasn’t texted
and now you feel silly, cold and your toe is throbbing. Worse still, you
ask yourself “what have I become?!” When we’re dating too much, we can
lose sight of our self image. We check our phone every five minutes and
literally can’t cope if our date hasn’t replied. It’s not cool, we hate
ourselves for doing it, and it’s not how we normally behave. Take a
break from dating and reaffirm your self image. You don’t need to be the
one who is still awake at 1am waiting for a text. You’re better than
that and deserve better than that.
You’re Not Ready To Date
If
you need a break from dating, it might mean that you’ve not been ready
for a relationship this whole time. Take a breather and only return to
the dating scene when you’re truly ready to meet a new man.
Use The Time To Analyse Past Mistakes
One
of the reasons you’ve been bouncing from bad date to bad date could be
that you haven’t given yourself enough time between each guy to reflect
on what went wrong. It’s important that you analyse past relationships
so that you can learn from mistakes, ensuring they don’t happen again.
Take a look at your past and see if there are things you can improve on.
A Break Will Save You Some Time
Dating
can take a lot of your time, but when you are single you can use all
this time for spending quality moments withy your family and friends, or
on self development or taking a new and fun hobby, it is an excellent
reason to take a break from dating, at least for some time.
You Can Reevaluate What You Want From A Guy
We
can spend so much time shopping around online for dates that we forget
what we even want in a guy. Taking some time out from the dating scene
gives you an excellent opportunity to reevaluate what it is you want
from a guy. Spend some time writing down qualities you want in a man so
that when he does eventually come along, you know he’s the one for yo
Learn A New Skill
As
you know, dating can take up a lot of time. If you aren’t on dates,
you’re texting new guys. If you aren’t texting them, you’re calling
them. If you aren’t doing that, you’re browsing lots of profiles.
Dating takes up so much time that we never have the time to do anything
else. Take a break from dating and focus on learning a new skill. It’s
so much more productive.
Stay happy!
