Are You Really Ready To Date Again?? (57)
I'm sooooo ready to date again!!!!!! It's been over 4 years since my last relationship, which lasted 5 years.
I took the time I needed to heal and to enjoy being me again on my own and now I am ready to share my life with someone!!
I know I'm ready because I took all the time I needed for me and I'm not just jumping from one relationship to the other!! I have been able to clarify to myself through those years, the things I want and don't want in a partner and stand steadfast in my belief that I will not settle!!!
I am excited to begin dating and I am just waiting for the right person to come along!!!!!!!

I still need dating risk insurance but I am trying to be ready.

I can not even answer that one wikked.
Shame.
How many times can you be taken for granted, used and left with a broken heart before you are ready?
I honestly know that in order for me to be ready to commit to another EXCLUSIVE dating arrangement, all of the emotional ties from the past should be broken or resolved if possible.
It is only fair to who I choose to date as well as myself.

Oh, wow, you really are an intelligent lady. You are doing a great service even to those you turn down by giving them a real reason. That is really awesome. I have issues I have had to work on. I can understand the validity of that. My ex said we had unresolved issues. I have had the pleasure of reading the forums to gain insight into those issues. You are saving guys needless time of chasing after you when you are honest with them telling why you do not return their affection. That is very mature.

Morning wikked:
Bet you look great as always..........
I am glad that you were able to tell that " date " what he should be told and also that you thought things through.
Following our hearts is sometimes not the right thing to do. My heart tells me one thing, however, if that is going to hurt me and cause me pain, then I should not take the path.
Issues hold us back from totally committing ourselves to another....
hugs

Kong is constantly searching for the one to make him climb that building again, and swat the planes for the lady fair. While I have resolved the "issues" that kept him in the jungle for a time, he has yet to find the impetus to leave the island.

I understand totally......
Those unresolved issues just phoned and my heart tugs............
If people are not ready to committ, not ready to give up being selfish, not willing to invest the time it takes to nurture a relationship.........they are not ready................

I think it's important to try dating...
Then it will become clear if you can handle it.
I mean, how difficult can it be? You meet the person, do some things together and see if you want to continue seeing the person.
After one date with someone, I usually know if I want to see them again.

Well, for various reasons, I haven't really dated in about four years. But typically, after a breakup, I'm ready to date the next day. I mean, why not? A new guy can help get your mind off the old one and move on.

Did you date this guy long?

Well yes I was ready, many times, but think I have run out of steam!

This one is easily answered, for a change I didn't over-analyze something. It's best answered with a quote:
Two in bomb disposal I know of were discussing things, and one asked the other when it was time to get out of the field - the answer was simple:
"I knew it was time to get out when I started asking my time it was to get out"
Simply put, if you asking yourself if it's too early, it very well may be.

And.. I typo'd, so it sounds like the one who answered wasn't fluent in english.
"I knew it was time to get out when I started asking my time if it was."
"I knew it was time to get out when I started asking my time if it was."

3rd time's a charm:
"I knew it was time when I started asking myself if it was time to get out.."
coffee for the win.

Great point. One may not be ready to commit but one might be ready to date, though. I look at this as dating versus courting. In courting one might not be permitted to say hey I have had second thoughts. In dating one might equally say hey I had a good time but not a great time. In other words, "Don't call me I will call you." I prefer Wicked's earlier statement though with the honest approach of, "I don't think you are right for me." I know I am paraphrasing a lot, sorry, but I think one can get the drift of it.

Hi Wikked. Well I thought I was ready but now I think not. I was married for a long time and jumped into a relationship too soon, partly because I think I am used to being with someone. The relationship turned out to be very bad and when it ended I still thought I wanted to be with someone. However after a few dates, which were fine, I now realise that I need to have time to find myself before sharing with another.

I know once we are "free" of our former relationship...we get out there and think we are ready to get back into the dating scene...and we are excited about it...
But how ready are you really?...
Are you prepared to invest that time again really getting to know someone's likes and dislikes?...are you prepared to "share" yourself again...to learn what makes that other person tick???
And if you are ready....How do you know???
