Do you have money, you’re single, and you’re experiencing dating fatigue? Who among you have reached a point where dating appears more transactional, especially around a dating app? Kind of tough to maintain your authentic self in today’s climate.
Natacha Noël, founder of Millionaire Search International, with over 15 years of experience matching elite clients (the 1 per cent) crowd – creating power couples – says the dating scene has never been more challenging for men who have money.
“Successful men sometimes feel fatigue when feeling used for the high-society scene they operate in, where lavish parties, exclusive events, and luxury lifestyles are the norm,” she says. “Remember that the foundation of any meaningful relationship should be built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect, not material assets. While it’s natural to want to make someone happy with opulent gifts, trips, fine dining and luxury events, be mindful of the underlying message and ensure it aligns with genuine affection and care.
“Relationships built primarily on financial attraction can be unhealthy and can strain one’s emotional well-being. It’s hurtful when one feels taken advantage of for material gains; such feelings can foster distrust and cynicism. Ensure your relationships are grounded in true connection and understanding.”
Dating fatigue can take a toll on your enthusiasm and quest for love. But don’t worry, there are ways to reinvigorate your dating life, according to Noël. Here are five key findings that trigger dating fatigue and how to find more success. She spoke with Regarding Luxury.
Reason #1: Self-Perception Matters
If you’ve ever thought you were too old, not wealthy, too short, or not attractive enough for the partner of your dreams, it’s time for a mindset shift. Believe that you are worthy of a great relationship. Don’t settle for less. Changing your self-perception can have a direct correlation to your success and change the quality of partners you attract.

Reason #2: Overthinking and Fear of Rejection
Hiding behind your keyboard won’t solve the problem. While rejection stings, remember that it simply means you weren’t a match. You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s perfectly fine. Embrace the process, learn from it, and keep going.

Reason #3: Fishing in the Wrong Pond
Are you stuck in a rut and dating the same type of person repeatedly? It’s not a scarcity issue; it’s a type of problem. Seek the partner you truly desire rather than settling for convenience. Nearly 15% of online dating app and site users’ relationships last less than six months, 7.2% have a relationship between six months and a year and 14.7% have a relationship that lasted more than a year.
Don’t rush into a relationship just to avoid the single status pressure; finding the right partner is worth the wait.
Reason #4: Lack of Clarity and Planning
A dating plan is your roadmap to success. Align it with your life goals and criteria for a partner. Organize your preferences to scout, sort, and screen effectively. As a Matchmaker, I focus aligning my clients’ lifestyle as a priority to ensure the match has a high rate of success. Knowing what you want and don’t want can help you break free from the dating rut.

Reason #5: Lack of Guidance and Mentorship
Seeking help with your dating life is not a sign of weakness but a sign of determination. Speak to any relationship expert and you’ll hear about a dating plan and how organizing your criteria will allow you to scout, sort and screen more effectively and stop dating fatigue in its tracks. With a structured dating plan, success is achievable.
In today’s digital dating landscape, many feel frustrated and insecure. Online interactions can strip away the natural process of getting to know someone. Only 42% of dating site users aim for marriage and of that 13% get engaged or married from the platform (2).
Dating fatigue is a common struggle, but you can overcome it by changing your self-perception, embracing rejection, seeking the right partner, planning your dating journey, and considering mentorship.Finding lasting love may take time, but with the right mindset and approach, you can revitalize your dating life.

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
