10 Signs You’re Ready to Date Again


After a rough breakup you might feel like you never want to date again. But eventually, you will get over it and find yourself starting to think about dating again. Here are the signs that you’re ready:


1.    You don’t think about your ex all the time. When you first break up, your ex is always on your mind. But, as time passes you go longer and longer without thinking about them. You’re ready to date again when you aren’t constantly thinking about them and can go more than a day without thinking about them and wondering what they’re doing.
2.    You can picture a future without your ex. If you can start to see your future and it doesn’t involve your ex, you’re ready to start dating again. You may not know who your future partner will be, but you’re not ready to start dating if you can only think of your ex.
3.    You aren’t doing it to make them jealous. You aren’t ready to date if you’re using it as a way of playing games to make your ex jealous. If you’re doing it for yourself, and for other positive reasons, then you’re ready.
4.    You’re wondering who else is out there. If you’re starting to think about whom else might be out there for you, you’re ready to start dating again. If you can get your ex out of your mind and start to get excited about the idea of meeting other people, it’s a great sign that you’re ready for a new relationship.
5.    You’re ready to have fun. Dating new people is really fun. If you’re ready to stop being alone and to stop moping about your ex, and are excited to get out and start having fun again, it’s a sign that you’re ready to move on.
6.    You’re ready for the excitement of a new relationship. Being in a new relationship is fun and exhilarating. If you’re excited about experiencing the thrill of a new relationship again, you’re ready to get out there and start dating again.
7.    You’re doing it for the right reasons. If you want to start dating because you want to find the right person for you, you want to have fun, and you want to meet someone new, then you’re ready to date again. If you’re doing it for revenge or to get back at your ex or just because you’re lonely, then those aren’t the right reasons.
8.    You’re happy being alone. If you’re ok being single and are happy on your own, then you’re ready to start dating again. You need to be confident enough on your own in order to be ready for a new relationship.
9.    You’re emotionally available. You’re ready to start dating again if you’re over your past relationship and are ready to get emotionally involved again. If you’re too fragile or hurt by your ex to give your heart to a new partner, you aren’t ready.
10. You’re not trying to get back together. If you’re not secretly holding onto hope of getting back together with your ex, then you’re ready to date again. If you’re holding out for them to come back into your life, you’re not ready for someone new.
