Most people prefer to stay single for a long time after a breakup while some easily move on with their lives. Either way, the same old emotionally feeling about someone usually arises again – probably in a new environment or a new setting. When this happens, dating again wouldn’t be such a bad idea. However, the most important thing is that you have to feel good about it.
Until then, all you have to do are the things that would make you feel independent, more interesting, more alive, and more lovable – so that when you rebound, you’ll have greater things to offer and your emotion wouldn’t be taken for granted anymore.
So, here are basic signs that indicate you are ready to ‘Start Dating Again’
1. When you no longer ruminate about your Ex
Ruminating about your ex would only cause you more pain and distress. In addition, it would not give you the very space you need to move on with your life. When you are no longer obsessing over his/her every move (on- and off-line), it is a telltale sign that your psyche has been filled with other thoughts.
2. No more fantasy!
When you are no more living in the fantasies and promises from your previous relationship. You recognize that you are now alone and need to make reasonable decisions of your own in other to be happy again.
3. When you stop crying and learn to move on
When you can look at his/her photo and not shade tears, stop stalking their social media page and whereabouts - then you know that you are emotionally ready to move on. Anyone who can deal with his/her past is ready for the future.
4. When you start making new friends
Another sign that would tell when you are ready for a fresh relationship is when you finally let go of your past and start making new friends. Many people find it difficult to trust again after a breakup but with new friends, dating again wouldn't be far-fetched.
5. When you identify your faults and amend them
So many people calm they are faultless and hence, everything they do is right. Most times, your attitude situations could be the cause of your break up, but you fail to acknowledge it. When you accept that you have your own faults and take adequate corrections, you are making room for a new life and thus, ready for a new relationship.
