You’re not tired of dating — you’re tired of over-giving

If you think dating fatigue is just a side effect of modern dating… think again. This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about what dating fatigue actually is — and why it has less to do with bad first dates and more to do with how much of yourself you’re giving away too soon. Because spoiler alert: burnout doesn’t come from going on too many dates…

We’re talking:

Why dating feels exhausting even when you “like” someone
The psychology behind attachment acceleration
The real cost of 24/7 texting and trauma dumping
Why “doing too much too soon” is self-abandonment
And how to pace yourself without becoming cold or strategic

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this again” after a situationship ends — this episode is for you. Dating isn’t supposed to feel like depletion. It’s supposed to feel like possibility. Let’s go down the rabbit hole.
