I'm going on a dating break.... again. I tend to go on a bunch of dates and maybe burn myself out and then stop all together. Does anyone else do this? Does this mean I'm just not ready? I meet nice guys who are attractive and want a relationship with me, but I don't know if it's just me not being ready or that I haven't found the right one yet. Anyone else do this or am I just a crazy person?

I go too long between dates for a break to be a change.

It's just not you. I had a nice guy who were attractive and wanted something to do with me, but I turned him down too.

Funny you should say that PY. I had 2 women on Match contacting me, what's with that? Maybe it's my very short hair

I don't think it is crazy, if anything rather healthy to be able to say "I am happy with myself and don't need to date right now". Dating can be very stressful if people let it be and taking a break from it never hurts. When I met my girlfriend on eHarmony in November I had not been actively communicating with anyone and in fact had ignored most of my matches to the point where I was about to turn off matching. So it is amazing what a break can do for you and how much happier you might be afterwards to meet new people.

It might be a bit of both. Take a break and then when you get back to dating you will find a great guy.

Sometimes you just need a break from different things in life; removing yourself from certain things and therefore being able to look at them from afar instead of participating in them, can oftentimes help you gain some clarity.
I don't think anyone on this MB can tell you if "it's you" or not; only you can tell whether you are at a point in your life when you truly want to get involved in anything serious (with the right person.)
A break might help you figure it out.
Good luck!

It's definately not my first break lol. So far that theory hasn't proven true. But, much like the definition of insanity, I'm sure I'll be back at it again sometime.
