Losing Hope In Dating Apps In India? Try These Steps To Get Your Groove Back
Huffington Post | Online dating fatigue is a real problem for many Indian women.
Prachi Singh (name changed) had high hopes for this Tinder date. He didn’t seem like all the other guys who were more interested in learning about her hymen than her personality. But when the Bengaluru woman met her online Prince Charming face-to-face, she was in for a shock— he seemed to have left his gentlemanly manners behind.
“I’m a 33-year-old single woman, and doing extremely well for myself—a combination not very many men on dating apps can come to terms with! I am open to dating and even finding love, but most men want to either sleep with me or send me unsolicited pics. So, when I matched with this man and we spoke for a while, I looked forward to meeting him… but he turned out to be a complete disappointment, and I felt so cheated,” says Singh.
Miffed at having wasted two precious months on him, Singh decided to log out of dating apps for a while. “Even the thought of trying to match with someone and going through this cycle all over again made me so tired,” she says.
Senior clinical psychologist and counsellor Narendra Kinger says Prachi’s disgruntlement is quite common among single women using dating apps and struggling to find the right match. “Most women who suffer from online dating fatigue complain they don’t have the energy or bandwidth to go out one more time and be disappointed. Feeling that it is a waste of time and effort is a clear sign of dating burnout,” he says.
So, how should you deal with online dating fatigue? We spoke to some experts to find out.
