Dating rust-out is when you are bored with dating and find it to be repetitive. It can make you want to give up on dating altogether, as the monotony can make it seem pointless.

It's not that you're incapable of dating or having a relationship. It’s that the people and the tedium of each date being the same is making you feel stuck.

If you've reached dating rust-out, the best thing you can do is take a step back and reassess what you're looking for and if you're going about the right way of finding it.

This could mean letting your friend set you up instead of turning to dating apps. Breaking out of repetitive dating styles will help you shake off the rust and find better dates.
