Have you ever felt like you’re simply too tired to go on dates anymore? Date after date, you’re just discovering someone’s favorite color all over again. 

When scrolling through the list of potential sugar partners on dating platforms such as Sugarbook, you might want to pass them on. Sounds like you? We get you – dating isn’t easy sometimes and can take a toll on you! 

That’s where a dating hiatus could help you with your constant tiredness! It can help you learn more about yourself and give you a chance to work on your personal growth. 

Knowing it’s time to take a break from dating or sugar dating could do wonders for your overall well-being and personal growth. You can look out for several common signs to know whether you should take a break from dating. Below are some of them! 

 

Sign 1: Feeling Burnt Out

feeling burn out

Do you find yourself feeling so exhausted every week? You may even get irritated easily. If this sounds like you, you’re probably spreading yourself too thin by using too much energy to go out on dates. 

Dating isn’t supposed to make you feel drained, but excited! When you start to dread going out on sugar dates, it might be because you’ve been going out TOO much and have little to no time for yourself. Let’s face it – getting to know someone new can get really exhausting sometimes. 

Taking a break from dating could help ease your mind a little and make more time for yourself. It’s important to make yourself a priority by taking care of your own needs too! Instead of going out on dates with others, take yourself on dates instead by getting some good ol’ self-care! 

 

Sign 2: Lack of Emotional Availability

 Lack of Emotional Availability

When it comes to dating, being emotionally available is crucial to having a deeper connection with one another. A healthy relationship is one in which both partners can be vulnerable and lend an ear to each other.

One sign that you’re emotionally unavailable is when you’re reluctant to share your feelings and emotions. You can’t understand your own feelings at times. You also find it hard to take care of your partner’s emotions or be a good listener.

Going on a dating hiatus can help you come to terms with your emotions and better understand them. You can also get a better idea of the type of sugar baby or sugar daddy you’re seeking. 

 

Sign 3: Constant Disappointment

Disappointment

Have you been continuously disappointed by your endless string of dates? Sometimes, when you’ve been let down constantly, it’ll cause you to feel tired. 

If your dates always leave you sad and frustrated, it’s a common sign you’re disappointed with the outcome. Either your date doesn’t meet your expectations or you prefer something else. You could possibly feel defeated and wish to give up on dating altogether! 

“By taking a break, you can reset your expectations and start with a fresh mind and heart!” 


It’s simply like pressing a reset button, but on your dating life instead of a device. That way, you’ll end up
being much more optimistic about dating! 

 

Sign 4: Neglecting Personal Growth

Neglecting Personal Growth

Is your personal life, such as your career or mental health, seeming to be put on hold due to your endless dates? If you can’t seem to advance further in your personal growth, it might be time to take a step back from dating.

Be sure to learn and gain new knowledge related to your career or relationship. This can help you be a better version of yourself, which helps your dating life along the way.

Even as a sugar baby, you’re still young, so there’s potential for you to grow as an individual. You might not have time to explore yourself when you’re constantly going on sugar dates. 

 

Sign 5: Loss of Authenticity

Being authentic while dating offers several benefits, such as deepening the bond. But if you feel like you can’t be yourself and put on an act, it’s probably time to take a break from it all. 

Wouldn’t you prefer to be upfront with your partner about your likes and dislikes instead of keeping them to yourself? For instance, simply be yourself while dating by showing your quirky sides, and don’t hold anything back! 

 

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not twist them to fit our image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” – Thomas Merton, No Man Is An Island.


Conclusion

So, if any of these signs relate to you, perhaps it’s time to go on a dating hiatus! When you take a break from dating, you can learn more about yourself and attend to the parts of yourself you’ve been neglecting. 

Look back at your dating life and determine whether you need a dating hiatus! This applies to sugar dating as well! When you’re on the hunt for a sugar baby or sugar daddy, consider taking a hiatus if it gets too overwhelming!
