Are You Really Ready to Start Dating Again?
How can you tell you're ready to date again? Should you date now or should you wait? When will you be ready? If you're not sure, ask yourself the following questions to figure out your next step to dating.
1) Are you emotionally available to meet that special someone?
This question could mean a couple of different things...have you allowed yourself time to heal from a previous relationship. People tend to get out of one relationship just to jump into another without determining what role they played in the dissolution of the previous relationship; potentially causing them to make the same mistake. Like it or not, you must first recover from the break up and you cannot accomplish that kind of recovery in a hurry-up fashion. Embrace the fact that you are not the same person that you were when you committed to the person no longer by your side and that you must take the time and patience with yourself to sufficiently heal.
2) Are you happy on your own?
Do you have your own career, your own hobbies, your own pursuits, your own set of friends with whom you play sports, lunch, drink or dine? When you sincerely enjoy your life as an individual, you are genuinely ready to begin the dating process again. Rather than simply trying to fill the huge void left by an ex spouse or partner; you are instead opening your heart to the possibilities of a new relationship that will complement an already-fulfilling life.
3) Do you have the time to go out and mingle and meet people?
The fact of the matter is people are busy with work, school, families, etc....are you really willing to take the time to truly meet people and be attentive to a potential companion. You should only start dating again when you have time. If you’ve taken up a bunch of new activities or hobbies to keep yourself super busy during the single life, you may not want to add dating just yet. You’ll want to have enough free time available to go on dates and chat with potential companions. Not having enough time will put you in a bind and it may cause the opposite sex to lose interest really quickly.
4) Do you feel hopeful there is someone out there for you?
We all know that there is someone out there for us, but after a relationship ends, we can lose sight and hope in that thought. Ending a relationship can leave you feeling bitter and completely helpless. You’re ready to date again when that glimmer of hope is back and is glowing brightly and you start believing that there is hope for you when finding someone new.
5) Do you know exactly what you want?
Joining the dating world, you should know right off the top of your head the type of person you’re looking for. You should know the qualities you want, the looks you want, the personality you want, and so on. Jumping back into the dating scene without having a clear picture of the man or female you want to date can be problematic. You’ll end up wasting a lot of time and effort on someone you just don’t want.
At the end of the day each and everyone of us wants love and it's a truly AMAZING feeling when we find it!!!
