It\u2019s been a while since your relationship ended, but are you ready to start dating again? Friends and family are telling you about someone they know but you\u2019re hesitant to meet them. Knowing when you\u2019re ready to begin dating after a break-up isn\u2019t always easy. Here are some signs you may be ready.<\/p>\n

1. You\u2019ve taken ample time to grieve the loss of your past relationship. This means you\u2019ve worked through the emotional aspects of the loss as well as understanding that putting yourself into circulation is opening yourself up to be hurt again.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019re no longer in contact with your ex unless you share children. There\u2019s no wishful thinking that the relationship can still work, and you\u2019re ready to move on.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ve looked at the circumstances of your break-up, realize you both made mistakes, and own responsibility for yours. Since you know what you did wrong, you\u2019re able to avoid those mistakes in any future relationships.<\/p>\n

4. You\u2019re not looking for a rebound relationship or someone to replace your old partner. You\u2019ve given being on your own some serious thought but aren\u2019t ready to get tied down to one person again very soon.<\/p>\n

5. Even though you\u2019re lonely without a partner, you\u2019re comfortable being on your own again. You\u2019ve learned about new strengths, developed new habits, and are growing as a person. You like who you\u2019ve become and don\u2019t \u201cneed\u201d a relationship to make you whole.<\/p>\n

6. If you haven\u2019t dated in quite a while, you\u2019ve learned about what\u2019s now considered appropriate or not. You\u2019ve heard about speed dating, online dating, and other forms enough to know what to expect. You also remember what old-fashioned dating was like and think you can go through with it.<\/p>\n

7. You have a support group whom you can call on to go out on a group date to meet new people rather than jumping right into the one-on-one dating scene again with both feet and eyes closed. Having people you trust around you when you first start dating again can be a great comfort and a way to avoid bad situations.<\/p>\n

8. You\u2019re comfortable with getting to know several people at a time instead of going right for the \u201crelationship\u201d again. It\u2019s alright to play the field for a while when you first start dating again. There\u2019s no hurry to rush into another long-term relationship.<\/p>\n

Going through a break-up isn\u2019t fun for anyone but it does happen, unfortunately. Knowing if you are ready to start dating again isn\u2019t always an easy thing to determine. You can use some of the ideas above; ultimately you\u2019ll know deep in your heart that you\u2019ve moved on and are willing to take another chance. Sure, you may be hurt again, but in the game of love, that\u2019s one of the chances you take.<\/p>\n
