4 Zodiacs Who Are Struggling With Romantic Burn Out

Dating isn’t easy to navigate, especially in 2023. There are so many people who will string you along, only to disappear without a word or explanation. Then there are relationships that start out strong but never seem to progress to the next stage. Overall, it’s a stressful time to be looking for love. So don’t blame yourself if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed. Here are some zodiacs who have been feeling especially burnt out, romantically:

Taurus

Taurus, all you want is a partner who is going to settle down with you and treat you right. You wish you could skip past the dating stage of the relationship to reach the committed, comfortable portion, but that’s not the way this works. You’ve been feeling burnt out romantically because you’re tired of chasing after people who aren’t showing the same level of interest as you. You’re tired of being the one who cares more, the one who carries the conversations, the one who tries to make a relationship work when the other person clearly doesn’t care if it succeeds or fails. All of this work is exhausting. It takes a lot out of you, especially when you have other responsibilities to take care of outside of your love life.

Gemini

Gemini, most people assume dating is easy for you since you’re such a social butterfly. But even social butterflies get tired of carrying the conversation and sending the first text and chasing after people who clearly don’t want to be caught. You just want someone who matches your energy. Someone who is willing to give you the amount you give them. But since you haven’t been able to find that, you’ve been exhausted. You’ve been tiring yourself out trying to keep people in your life who aren’t fully invested in being there.

Virgo

Virgo, you’re willing to put hard work into relationships. You’re willing to go above and beyond to make your partner happy. The problem is finding a partner who actually appreciates that effort and reciprocates it. The problem is receiving the same type of love that you’re eager to give out to others. It’s been exhausting trying to find someone who is willing to put in the same amount of effort as you are. It’s difficult to keep your hopes up when you keep getting disappointed time and time again. You’re fine with working hard — but you want to do it for the right person, not a string of wrong people.

Pisces

Pisces, you’re willing to do anything for the people you love the most. You always exhaust yourself trying to make others happy — but when there’s not even a label on your relationship, this can get frustrating. All you want is acknowledgement. All you want is a thank you for how hard you’re trying and how hard you’re loving, but most people won’t even give you that. You’ve been exhausted by dating because it seems like no one realizes how lucky they are to have someone like you around, someone who is open and honest and willing to do anything to make them smile. You have so much love to give, but since the wrong people keep taking it, it’s leaving you worn down.
