How Long After Separating Should a Person Start Dating Again?
Just about everyone has had a bad break up, divorce, or separation from someone that they were head over heels in love with. The idea that the person you loved so much is now gone can be quite devastating. Therefore, you need to allow yourself time to grieve and get past the pain of your old relationship. Many who have been out of the dating game for a while wonder how long they should wait before deciding to date again. The answer is different for everyone. There is no set amount of months, days, or years, but rather an inner feeling as to when you�re ready. Below are five ways to tell if it is time.
You�ve Truly Let Go
One of the most important signs to tell if you�re ready to begin dating is if you�ve truly let go of the past. Have you come to terms with the fact that the person you were once with is gone? Are you still holding onto hope that they will come back? Or maybe you�re filled with anger and resentment because they did you wrong? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you�re not ready to begin dating again. However, if you�ve really processed it all, accepted it for what it is, and harbor no ill feelings, then there is no reason why you should not be able to date.
Your Intentions Are True
Do you want to date again because you want to meet someone new and find love and happiness? If so, you�re intentions are pure. However, if you are looking to date someone to get revenge, have someone to pay half the bills, or to simply fill a void because you hate being alone, then your intensions are not pure and that is not fair to whomever you might end up dating next.
You Know Who You Are
With every relationship, especially those who have been committed for some time, it can be easy to lose yourself in the relationship. You no longer know what you like as an individual and are more interested in things you did with your ex. If you don�t know what makes you happy, then chances are you are not ready to move on. Find your sense of self first before delving into another relationship.
You�ve Learned From Your Mistakes
Even if in a relationship one person is obviously to blame, there are instances in which the other party has done wrong as well. So even if your boyfriend cheated on you, there could be some things you need to adjust about yourself. Have you really taken the time to make sure that you don�t carry your baggage into another relationship? Are you insecure? Bitter? Needy? All of these are qualities that will damage a new relationship.
Truth be told there is no right or wrong answer to knowing when it�s time to start dating again. Only you know for sure when you�re really ready to start dating again. You simply need to be honest with yourself and then pace yourself. Eventually love will come knocking at your door again.
