10 Tips to Read Before Dating Again

If you are sick of generic advice, I got you boo.

Dating can be intimidating at the best of times, but after a breakup dating is especially intimidating. How do you know when you are ready? How do you know that someone won’t just hurt you again? The short answer is that you don’t. However, by considering the next 10 pieces of advice, you’ll be in good shape to start dating again when you are ready.

I do not believe that there is a specific time period that needs to pass before you can date again. There is no wrong amount of time. However, your intentions behind dating should be considered. For instance, you may have a pattern of seeking validations outside of yourself by serial monogamy or dating again while your heart is still broken. In that case, it may be too soon. Others are ready in a couple of weeks because this is not an unhealthy habit for them: they did the processing they needed and are ready.

So get quiet, slow down, and ask yourself why you want to date again before downloading a single app. Dating can remind you that you are lovable and it can also trash your self-esteem. Making sure your intentions are healthy before diving into dating again can help you weather what may come- good and bad.

Before you date anyone else, I highly suggest dating yourself.

Although the term may sound vague and cliche to you now, let me explain.

Getting to know yourself without the influence of someone else is vital to your long-term happiness in your next relationship.

You will not find yourself in someone else. You find yourself in solitude. You find yourself when you learn how to tune into your own internal voice.

Think about it this way: When you find out who you truly are without the people-pleasing, the patterning, the conditioning, and the habits of others, you find your essence. When you are truly who you want to be, you attract people who love who you truly are. Don’t you want your next partner to love you for who you really are, and not a collection of traits you accumulated after years of conditioning and people-pleasing?
