7 Signs You are Not Ready to Date Again
5. You are not feeling optimistic
A sure sign of recovery is when the world seems beautiful again. You regain your energy and optimism. Suddenly, there seems to be quite a few cute guys you didn’t know existed. If none of this is happening with you as yet, you are not ready.
6. If you still feel jealous
Your ex seems to leave more than friendly messages on another woman’s social network page. And you feel a twinge of jealousy in your heart. Whoa! Now you are checking out this woman’s pics to see if “he” has left any comment. If this happens, you are so far from over! If your ex can still make you feel jealous, you are not ready to date again. The reverse can happen too, when you post pics of a cute guy beside you and expect your ex to be jealous!
7. Silent need for validation/reaction
Finally, you’ve landed that dream job or finished that book project you and your ex used to talk about. In your mind, you wonder how he would feel about it. If this happens deep down, you are still seeking his validation. It is one thing to inform, if you happen to be in good terms, but it’s quite another to expect approval or any reaction. Admit this to yourself and stay away from the dating scene.
Resolving so many issues seems like a tough job? Don’t despair. Time heals almost every wound life can inflict. Give time, time.
