Dating : Where should you be at the point in your life before you start investing in dating and finding a real relationship?
In terms of emotional health/availability, lifestyle, friendships, financial situation, job situation, just overall life situation to be in before you can fully commit to dating and meeting new people for a potential romantic relationship
I feel like it varies depending on the specific person. I’ve had loving serious relationships during my darkest times alive and while they obviously didn’t last, I haven’t felt that kind of passion since, even after taking a break from it all and focusing on myself. Now I feel I’m stable in my own life, and I’ve dated around, but I’ve yet to find anyone I feel I could fall in love with like I’ve done before. That may or may not answer your question, and it probably just boils down to the cliche of « when you know, you’ll know » but I’m all the happier now that I don’t worry about it so much.
Probably when you feel like “okay things aren’t perfect but the lid is still on & that’s great”.. I feel like if you’re stable enough to be open to the possibility of it happening at whatever point you’re at in your life, you should just do it.
When you are at the point where you don’t believe a significant other is your key to happiness.
