Online Dating Burnout- Houston

Online Dating Burnout

Dating has changed a lot over the past decade and a half. People used to meet through friends or family, or at bars, work or other social gatherings. Apps and the internet have taken over to become the preferred method to meet new people.

Unfortunately, the endless choices presented by online dating has created disposable dating. It has resulted in people of all age brackets becoming increasingly frustrated and/or cynical.

January is almost here: a time when many people make resolutions to begin dating again or to meet the right match. Cue the online dating specials.

A movement has been gaining traction to eschew online dating and turn to more tried and true methods such as old school matchmaking.

Houston Matchmaker and Event Specialist George Ochoa says, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over. With matchmaking events, we don't just break the cycle of online dating, we break the traditional matchmaking norms as well. By meeting 8 to 10 people curated just for you at a single event, you up your chances of a match by 94 percent. And it's organic."

Signs you may be suffering from online dating burnout:

You’ve been on the same app or site for over 6 months and haven’t met anyone

You’ve messaged a great number of potential matches but haven’t gotten any replies

You complain to anyone who will listen about the people you have met while online dating

You assume everyone online is disingenuous and expect dates to go badly

You dread the idea of going on yet another casual date

You’ve stopped making an effort

Statistics show that most people give up online dating after only a couple of months.

So why not give matchmaking events a try? Contact Houston Matchmaker for a free consultation. You'll never know unless you try.
