Is it normal to go through a period of constant rejection in dating life, even though you are mostly successful at it?

Always had a boyfriend, never single for more than a year. Is it normal to keep improving your life, but go through a period of rejection? Where nothing is going right dating wise?

Through experience I can say everyone I know has gone through a dry spell. Either a time period they didn't mesh with the people around them or perhaps the planets weren't aligned right. Keep doing you. The cosmos will come back around

Thank you so much for responding.. and thank you for saying this. I actually scared myself so much, I was convinced I'm about to turn into a crazy person, with so much rejection and me thinking constantly it has to do with me only. My head hurts so much from so much stress tonight

That's normal too. The "what the fuck is wrong with me" chant. Deep breath, be patient, they'll come back to you.

How do I take a break from looking? I keep thinking I might miss out if do.. but I know that's toxic thinking

Do you feel you NEED another person for happiness? Either way, you don't have to stop looking. Just don't make that such a priority you forget to live.

I don't need it, but I would REALLY like it lol. I'm pretty happy and i do a lot of things alone... also, this is my longest being single probably... but I can't help but to look constantly at the same time. Its hard not to.

Oh amen. I know what you mean. Don't worry. It will circle back around to you.
