Signs that you’re not ready for a relationship
Signs that you’re not ready for a relationship
This list is for everyone that is single and wants to know if they're ready for a relationship. I’m going to breakdown the top reasons you’re not ready for a relationship.
You have bad taste in partners.
If you’re always dating the bad boy or girl with issues. Then you might be self-sabotaging your want for a relationship. You know when you get in these relationships or situationships that they’ll be full of drama and stress. If you’ve always been single or you’ve had relationships you’re not proud of. You need to step back and ask yourself what have YOU been doing to attract these people? What does each of your crushes, dates, exes have in common? Once you find the leading toxic trait you can begin to find better relationship material. Until then you’re not ready for a real relationship if you keep messing with losers.
You don’t know how to be happy by yourself.
If you feel like you need to have a partner to be happy. Then that's not a healthy view of relationships. You must enjoy spending time with yourself before you can entertain a partnership. If you can’t stand to be alone with yourself who will? Also, I find that this can seep into the way you meet people. If you don’t have a significant other you might avoid going to events or parties. Since you would have to go “alone.” Remember you are not ready for a relationship if you want it to fix your problems. If your issues include depression. Then a relationship is not going to make that go away. You need to work on yourself by going to therapy, journaling, or meditation. Working on yourself first instead of relying on someone to “save” you. Will help you get ready for a relationship.
You’re hung up on your ex.
This is a big one but if you still cry at the thought or mention of your ex. Then you’re not ready for a new relationship. Anything that you jump into will be a rebound until you get completely over your ex. Now there is nothing wrong with a rebound! Know that it won’t turn into a meaningful relationship. Get to know yourself. Figure out what you want in the next relationship. That way you don’t end up dating another person like your ex.
You have big goals.
This is a positive one. If you have big goals and aspirations then you might not be ready for a relationship. Relationships take a lot of work, compromise, and time. If you’re working on yourself and your dreams. You might not have the energy to put into someone. That is ok! Don’t let anyone pressure you into a relationship if you're concentrating on your future. Pieces will fall into place. You don’t want to have a chapter of regret because you tried to balance a relationship you didn’t want or have time for.
You enjoy playing the field.
You enjoy dating whoever you want. You’re a free bird. If this is you stay strong in who you are. Don’t feel like you have to conform to societal norms. Especially if you know that you won’t be able to commit. Relationships are about commitment and being there for one another. If you want to be there for more than one person (which I’m aware some relationships work like that). Then you might not be ready for a traditional relationship. Don’t lead anyone on. Always communicate that you enjoy playing the field and dating many people.
