Taking a break from dating

It is okay to take a break from dating whenever you need to. Dating should feel enjoyable, not overwhelming.

You may want to take a break if:

  • You feel stressed or tired from conversations.
  • You need time for yourself.
  • You are not ready to meet new people right now.
  • You want to pause your profile temporarily.
  • You feel uncomfortable after an interaction.

Depending on the app settings, you may be able to pause your account, hide your profile, adjust your visibility, or turn off notifications.

Taking a break does not mean you have to delete your account. You can return when you feel ready.
