Dating is fun, when you’re with the right person. You feel safe but you also get excited at the prospect of spending time together. However, when you’ve been in one bad relationship after another or, you’ve had a rather long dry spell, it can be tempting to give up the excitement and instead make do with safety. This is called settling. 

I understand the mental and physical exhaustion of dating the wrong person. It’s enough to make anybody swear off relationships. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with being single despite what society will have us believe, you might want to reconsider your current partner if there’s no spark or you keep wishing for more.
