5 Signs You Are Not Ready For A Relationship

Must read

I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to get into, and stay in, relationships that I’d no business being near.

It’s almost as if I didn’t have a clue about what I really wanted apart from wanting to be in a relationship regardless of whether I should be in one or not.

Half the time I was chasing after women who were no good for me and the other half was spent wondering why I wasn’t happy in this latest relationship.

What I’ve learned over the years is that availability is more than just being single.

You have to be emotionally ready to be in a relationship and when you’ve been single for some time that also means having to give up a number of things.

Here are five signs that you’re not ready to be in a relationship and should probably find a way to just enjoy being single.

1. You keep ending up with people who are bad for you

Who you pick to spend time with says more about you than you probably realise.

Keep ending up with people who don’t seem to want to be in a serious and committed relationship? Maybe you need to look at yourself and ask yourself just what your choices say about you.

2. You spend a lot of time thinking about an ex

If you aren’t over one person, you really don’t have any right trying to get underneath another.

3. You spend a lot of time thinking about being in a relationship

A relationship should be something that adds to your life, not be the sole focus of it and the only thing that makes your life seem worthwhile.

If you need a partner for your own sense of self-respect and self-worth then you’d really be better off trying to find ways to build those on your own before involving someone else in your life.

4. You’re not prepared to make changes to your life or routine

If you’ve been single for a while, chances are you’ve got yourself into something of a routine that works and makes your life as easy as possible.

If you want someone to believe you’re serious about including them in your life then you’re going to have to make some compromises.

If you find yourself feeling ever-so-slightly resentful at the thought of that, perhaps you aren’t quite ready to try to fit someone into your life.

5. You don’t know what you want

If you don’t know what you want from a relationship then you are going to struggle to find it.

Know yourself and what you want, what you’ll do and what you won’t put up with.
Once you have a clear picture of all that maybe, just maybe, you might be ready to give the relationship merry-go-round another fling.
