Why It Pays To Take A Break From Dating Apps

Being active in the dating world takes a certain amount of time, energy, and effort. While it can be exciting to think of all the possibilities and potential mates when you first

start using dating apps, a string of bad matches, miscommunication, or ghosting incidents can leave anyone feeling less than enthusiastic about signing on each day. In fact, having

a sense of dread upon opening the app is a telltale sign that you may need a break (via Self). More signs include becoming robotic in your replies, using the apps because you think

you should rather than really want to, and feeling pressure to date when you'd rather just stay home. "A lot of people feel pressure to always be out there constantly and that if

they snooze even for a second, they will lose," well-being coach Shula Melamed informed Elite Daily. "It is beneficial for you to bring your best, most energized and cared for self

to the table — if you need to take a break to do this, so be it."
