How to Recover From a Dating Dry Spell

Have you ever noticed that when you’re not paying attention, a dating rut can sneak up on you? For example, you keep getting dates left and right. Most of your weekends are booked for months. But later on, the dates run dry and your weekend schedule is suddenly wide-open.

You’re not seeing anyone and you have nothing to do except binge-watch your favorite T.V. show while waiting for Monday to come around.

What happened to the action?

It turns out that you’re stuck in a dating dry spell. Maybe you’re fine with it. Maybe you’re not. But in the end, you know you need to go back out there and try again. You might be worried the dry spell is going to stick or you’ll never get your groove back on.

To recover from a dating dry spell, here’s what you need to do:

Start eating right and get in shape

Kinda cliché, but if you want to receive more love in your life, you have to focus on yourself first. That means putting attention into what you put into your body and getting in shape.

Go hit the gym and work on keeping yourself in shape. Exercise releases endorphins, resulting in increased self-confidence and positive enthusiasm.

Cultivate platonic friendships with the opposite sex

When you think about the opposite sex, you might immediately think of romance or physical intimacy. Your feelings end up all over the place and you forget these women are people too. They also want to connect with you in a friendly way.

Even if you might not see the value in having platonic relationships with women, these relationships can help you adjust for better intimate relationships in the future.

So when you meet a new woman, don’t immediately assume she’s looking for a boyfriend. Treat her as you would treat a friend. She might be able to give you insight when you meet a romantic interest.

Try something new

Do you have a bucket list that you never got around to completing? Well, this could be your chance to try something new.

Get out of your comfort zone. Try going on an adventure by backpacking across Asia. Learn a new language. Take an online course. Join hobby classes that you’ve always talked about.

Go out there and focus on yourself. Because once you get into a dating relationship, accomplishing these things will be a lot harder. Use this dry spell to your advantage and regain your passion for life.

Have patience

Good things come to those who persevere. Don’t stress too much about the problem and instead, focus on being consistent with your efforts.

Use this chance to learn about yourself and what you really want from a partner. You might be surprised at what you discover.

Remember this isn’t a race or a competition. You have to relax and let the process flow naturally as you work on yourself.

Sooner or later, you’ll receive the results of your hard work and find a woman with whom you can be happy.
