Can there be such a thing as too much dating?

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked impact of overloading your dating life—how seeing too many people too quickly can lead to emotional burnout, decision fatigue, and even prematurely ending connections that had potential.

I’ll break down how a high volume of dates can actually disconnect you from the emotional experience of dating, stop you from tuning into your own needs, and turn something meaningful into something mechanical.
