Dating can be difficult sometimes, but support is available

Match with a therapist for guidance

Connect with a professional about dating 

A first date may feel like a job interview where you plan the perfect outfit and think about what questions you will be asked. There may be awkward situations that you just have to laugh at. There is also no set timeline for dating, whether you have been dating for years, or if you have stopped dating you feel discouraged because your experiences with dating are not so positive right now, you're not alone. Many people have dating difficulties but talking about it with a friend or someone you trust can help. Some prefer to speak with a licensed counselor about dating difficulties for the unbiased, skilled insight into dating they often have.

Speaking to an experienced counselor may be particularly beneficial if you find it challenging to cope long-term with the difficulties you experience around dating. Online counseling is an excellent option for those who need the guidance of a therapist but barriers like time, availability, and financial difficulties make it challenging to meet with one. 

Additionally, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy for a range of concerns, but with the added convenience of speaking to a counselor anytime from anywhere with an internet connection. Online counseling services like BetterHelp, match individuals with therapists who have experience treating a range of difficulties, including difficulties around dating.
