“Carouseling” is the latest dating app trap…and you don’t want to get caught up in it!
Some singles are stuck in neutral while mindlessly scrolling and swiping on dating apps. You chat with matches for a few weeks or a few months…but with no intent of meeting in real life.
Some drop off…some new ones jump on…you’re just going around in circles…“Carouseling”!!!
It’s a habit that’s rooted in overthinking and anxiety, especially among those just entering the dating pool.
Carouseling is more about dating app burnout, where you feel overwhelmed by too many choices, leading to constant messaging out of fear that something better is always just around the corner… it’s like a build-up of expectation and uncertainty.
So if you’ve been talking to someone on a dating app for a while...with no talk of getting together. You are being carouseled…and you need to move on. They may not even realize they’re doing it.
