You've ended a meaningful relationship and you're not sure whether you're ready to jump head first into anything more than casual dating again. Jennifer Oikle, Ph.D., relationship psychologist, dating coach, and founder of MySoulmateSolution.com, says EVERYONE... even those who are used to relationship 'hopping'... need time alone before they leap into love again. Here are her 10 signs that you're ready for another real relationship:
- You’ve been on your own for at least 3-6 months and you no longer feel like you NEED a relationship just to survive
- You feel like you are good on your own
- You feel confident
- Your mood is stable- you don’t let the little ups and downs of life throw you overboard
- You can hear other people’s opinions and criticism and not take it personally
- Your worth isn’t directly related to what other people think. (As long as it is, you are too vulnerable to date).
- You aren’t preoccupied with your ex, your emotions are no longer raw
- You can think of the past and just feel mostly gratitude for what you learned AND you can explain what you learned, how you contributed to the cycle, and how you will proceed differently. If you can’t name those things, you aren’t ready to date, because you’ll just make the same mistakes.
- You now have interests, hobbies, and friendships that you are passionate about and invested in and you are serious about not dropping them for ANY man!
- Ask your friends- they will know! ;)
