Should You Take a Break From Web Site Dating Services?Posted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 Have you met a lot of people from one or two dating web sites recently? Are you feeling a bit out of sorts, burned out, or just generally unhappy with the results? If so, it may be time for a break, or hiatus, from any web site dating services. This article will discuss how you know it's time to focus on other things for a while, when to take that step and what to do in the meantime. Break Those Bad Habits When what you are doing isn't working, it only makes sense that change is inevitable. STOP DATING. Break the cycle that you're in at the moment, and don't visit a dating web site for a while. Try a week for starters, but realize that this process may take a lot longer than that. Think about what you have been doing related to dating, and meeting people through web sites. Now, take those patterns, and DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Stop trying to meet someone, and focus on YOU for a bit. Making the Break Then, make a list of the things you've wanted to do for a while, but just haven't had the time to because of your web dating habits. Focus on your needs, your interests, your desires for a while. Learn how to make yourself happy, without needing the reassurance from someone you are dating through a web site to do so. Take a course, hit the library, reconnect with old friends. It doesn't matter what exactly you do, as long as you do something important for yourself. Implement Changes Once you've taken the necessary steps to heal yourself, take inventory again. Are you happy with your life? Are you pursuing things that you enjoy? How do you feel about yourself? Are you ready to bring someone new into your life through a web dating site, now? Time Frame? This may sound like a long time for someone not to date, and it is. But remember how miserable dating has made you? It may not be an easy situation to face, but without taking the time to deal with your issues, you'll just be spinning your wheels forever. Like it?
