Dating app burnout is totally real and almost everyone goes through it at some point. The endless cycle of 'where are you from' and 'what do you do' gets exhausting super fast. Text-based chat lacks body language and vocal tone, so trying to build chemistry on surface-level questions alone feels like extra work. What worked for me was jumping straight past the standard resume questions. If someone mentions music or coffee in their bio, I ask a specific question about that right away. You have to treat online dating as a way to find interesting people, not a chore. I ended up switching to Hily a while back because it felt much more relaxed, and the profile layouts make it easy to see shared interests right off the bat. When you find someone who matches your energy, don't stay in the text box for weeks. Keep the initial chat light, stay curious, and if you feel a decent connection after a few days, suggest meeting up for something casual like coffee.
