My desire to date has diminished

Post Reply New Topic

Just a week and a half ago, I broke up with a girl I had been seeing for 5 months, which is a satisfying consolation given that my second longest relationship lasted 5 WEEKS. Now that I'm single again tho, I somehow don't feel the same desire to get a girlfriend that I used to. There is one girl that I know from my 10th grade year and I've recently had somewhat of a connection with(texting each other periodically)that I think would be worthwhile hanging out with a time or two to see if her and I are compatible, I don't feel this strong urge to ask her to hang out TODAY. And this isn't because I still have strong feelings for my ex, either. I just didn't feel exactly happy to be in the relationship.

Regardless, for the first time since I was like, 11, I feel just fine not to be in a relationship.

I think it is good to go through a period of time after you end a relationship before you begin another. I would say at least give yourself one week off per month of relationship.

I would also suggest that you don't start a relationship unless you are really into it. If you want to find hookups, just be up front that you're not looking for something serious.

If anything, now is a good time to dive deeply into something that interests you. Spend time playing your favorite sport, or reading good books, etc.

Your desire to date is always going up, the same or lower
