I love love and I want everyone to have it, but that doesn't mean that you should be chasing it 24/7. No way! Taking a break from the dating scene is sometimes the best thing you can do for your romantic life. There are so many reasons why a dating detox could make sense for you.
... you need a rest from the terrible first-date merry-go-round. Hello, that sentence basically describes my 20s! Looking back, I wish I took more dating detoxes instead of jumping headlong into bad date after bad date. It got exhausting and frustrating.
... you need a break after a serious relationship ends. I sure did after my big breakup! I went months before I was ready to date, and I’m so glad I did. I used that time to heal, get to know myself better and realign my priorities.
... you’re just too busy for love. I’ve been there too. Dating the right way takes a lot of time and effort. If you don’t have the hours or the energy to spend right now, wait until you do. You’ll be more successful when the time is right -- love comes when you're ready for it.

My advice is to look for hints that he’s inching towards head over heels.

By now I’m sure you’ve heard, I have a boyfriend! His name is David and he’s everything I was looking for. Kind, cute, fun, devoted, and divorced. Yep, divorced. Why? Because divorced men are a girl’s best kept secret. Do your research but don’t discount a guy because he’s divorced. You might even want to give him some bonus points. It worked for me. I really can’t wait for you all to get to know David this season. So excited!
Here’s a few things to keep in mind about starting a new flame with "the divorced guy":

Men fall in love with what they see, and one of the first things they’ll notice when they meet you is your bright eyes. They signal fun, playfulness, energy and vitality.
If you’re saddled with a nine-to-five and feeling anything but fun and energetic, then you can still brighten your eyes to reel him in. Men may not fall in love until after your first date, but a sexy pair of headlights will have him lusting for you, no doubt.

So, you’re a few months into the relationship and you’ve noticed that the heat and passion may have slightly fizzled. Not necessarily a drastic change - but maybe you don’t kiss as much as you used to or sex is now once a week, if you’re lucky, and heavy petting is left only for the dogs. You’re simply not putting as much effort into wooing as you used to and its time to inject the fun back into your sex life, before its too late.
Okay kids, Sex Games 101 is now in session. Take off your pants and get ready for a night of fun! (Wait only a night?)
