7 Signs You’re Ready to Date Again After a Breakup

You focus more on the future

People who focus more on the future are better prepared to start a new relationship, than those who are still living in the past. According to a certified relationship coach, Rosalind Sedacca, “do the inner work first. Work on healing yourself of baggage […] Work on forgiving yourself for choosing a partner who wasn’t a good match. And on forgiving your partner for the disappointment and hurt related to your relationship.”

Try to focus more on the positive things and understand that pain, resentments, doubts and anger are just a fleeting feeling. Seeing a therapist is also helpful, so you can ask for help if you need it.
