Dating can be exciting — but it can also feel draining, repetitive, or even overwhelming. So when does it make sense to step back and take a break? In this video, Dr. Frankie shares guidance on how to know if pausing from dating will actually support your well-being, or if leaning in and building skills around relationships is the better path.

We’ll explore:

💛 Signs it might be time to pause dating
