After a breakup, it takes time to really recollect and be ready to love again. Many take a lot of time and sometimes choose to forever stay away from love. After a breakup, you may not really get to know if you are ready to love again. You best give yourself time to cool off and be ready to love again. But how do you know that you are not ready to date again after a breakup?
Here are the signs that you are not ready to date again after a breakup.
1. You're just looking for a distraction
Whenever you try to get back into a relationship, always have your reasons and goals at hand. This will be like a marking scheme for an exam you may know nothing about. If one of the reasons you want to get back into a relationship is because you want to be distracted from your previous life, you better revisit your options and go back to the drawing board. Being distracted from your previous love when you have not gotten over them will be catastrophic to your emotional state.
2. You are still bitter about your ex
Before you consider loving again, one of the most important things you should consider is ensuring that you completely get over your ex regardless of what led to the breakup. If you are still bitter about them, then, it will be hard to even be yourself in the relationship you are trying to enter. Don't let them distract you. Just forget about them.
3. You think being with anyone is better than being single
Once you start thinking anyone that comes along will suit you, you better just keep calm and stay away from everyone. You have to respect yourself and know your worth. Not everyone should be in your life and you should always keep that in the back of your mind. The people that show interest in being with you have to meet certain minimum requirements.
4. You are happier than you have ever been
If you are happier after a breakup, you best stay that way for some time and not rush into love. It is a sign that you were probably not ready to love and the breakup was helpful to you. You, therefore, need to mature up enough before deciding to love again.
5. You're hoping a new relationship will heal your wounds
If the reason you want to enter a relationship is that you think a new relationship will speed up the healing process, you had better think again. In fact, you have to completely heal before getting into any relationship whatsoever. Getting into a relationship because you want to be healed will only postpone your misfortunes and suffering to a later date.
