Singles: Make This Small Change to Avoid Dating Burnout
Texting is convenient, but let’s be honest—it’s rarely done mindfully. It’s easy to misread intentions or emotions when you’re rushing through messages between work meetings or after a long day.
Instead, try shifting to a more conscious approach: let your first interaction be in-person or over a video call. If that clicks, then move to texting.
Meeting (please keep it brief not more than 7-10 minutes) first helps you build trust and comfort, making your texts later more meaningful and grounded in a real connection.
For grown-up singles in their 30s and beyond, who already juggle packed schedules, this small shift—meeting before texting—can make all the difference. It’s a deliberate, thoughtful way to avoid the exhaustion of endless messaging.
By making this conscious change, you not only reduce burnout but also create space for real, intentional interactions that lead to meaningful results.
Here is something to think about - how did people find their partners before the era of texting and mobile phones. It was simpler—connections were formed through in-person meetings, often followed by letter writing. The focus was on meaningful exchanges, not endless back-and-forth with strangers.
Compare that to now—texting has become the norm. Opening up to someone, hours spent typing away, trying to share your life story with a stranger, often leads to no real connection or progress. Texting lacks the emotional depth and context that come from hearing someone’s voice or seeing their expressions.
Maybe it’s time to rethink how we connect. Instead of exhausting ourselves with hours of texting that feel hollow, bring back the simplicity of meeting first?
Let’s take a cue from the past. Meaningful bonds aren’t built on screens—they’re built through authentic interactions. It’s time for a change, and maybe this is how we begin.
We strongly believe texting should come after a couple of video calls or an in-person meeting. Shifting to this approach—meeting first, texting later—can completely transform your dating experience. It will help avoid burnout.
