Ep. #246 • The Dating Fatigue

About this episode

This episode discusses the exhaustion and honesty that can come with modern dating.

There comes a point where dating doesn’t feel exciting anymore. It feels exhausting. Not because you don’t want connection… but because you’re tired of the games, the small talk, the ghosting, the almosts, and the emotional whiplash. And if you’re listening to this thinking, “Man, I’m tired—but I’m not bitter,” this episode is for you. Because being tired of dating doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It might mean you’re finally getting honest.
