Why does having a relationship feel pointless now?

Cut a long story short, I've got a few dates lined up from online dating. But I have not motivation to proceed. What is wrong here? Too cynical, depressed, what? Surely I should be enthused.

The dates are clapped

That's not it they are attractive enough.

Get out and about and find someone who sets your pulse racing

Try psychotherapy.

You've no emotional attachment to any of them (yet). Go meet them and see if that changes. It can take a few dates to figure out how you feel.

I was really unsure about whether to pursue things with my current partner - we were both recently (ish) out of other long term stuff, I had a lot more baggage than her coming away from those. Yes she's gorgeous but I just didn't have much 'push' toward it.

I went anyway. It was good, and after a few more meet ups I knew it was absolutely the best thing. You need to give yourself time to grow into these people and the space around them. Don't cut yourself off too hastily
