Are your friends, co-workers and family trying to push you to date someone new since your last relationship?

A new relationship can take a toll on your body and mind.

It’s important for your own peace of mind to evaluate your readiness and assess your ability to handle dating again. You don’t have to jump into the dating pool if you’re not prepared.

Consider these signs that you’re not ready to form a new romantic relationship yet:

1. You’re not over your ex. Do you still dwell on your past relationship and can’t stop thinking about your ex?

If your mind is preoccupied with thoughts about your previous partner then you’re not ready to date again. The inability to concentrate on a new person can negatively affect your dates and hurt your reputation.

If you find yourself constantly comparing your new date to an ex and it’s interfering with your happiness, this is another sign you need to wait.

The emotional baggage of your past relationships can hurt your dating style. It can prevent you from noticing the positive aspects of a new partner. It can even make you dull and sullen on dates.

Be emotionally ready to move on from your ex before you jump back into dating again.
