You sign up for a new online dating service.  Within the first week you receive a few winks, messages from several people, and over a dozen profile views.  But for the remainder of your subscription, activity sharply drops.  You get a few dozen more profile views, maybe a wink and messages from a few more people.

I call it “online dating burnout”.  Shortly after signing up for a new service you hit a wall — you’ve already checked out the few people you liked so now all you can do is wait for more to sign up.  I’ve had several friends complain about this and I’ve experienced it as well.

Have you experienced online dating burnout?  If not, how do you think you were able to avoid it?
