How do I know if I’m really ready to date?
I get this question all the time, “How do I know when I’m actually ready to date?”
If we’re being honest, we can all date whenever we want. There’s not a timeline or time limit, nothing holding us back from getting on the apps or searching for our person.
BUT… if you desire to date with intentionality there may be a few things to look for to help you decide if you’re really ready to date.
What happens when you start to date when you’re really not ready?
If you go out into the world of dating not truly ready to date, you are going to set yourself up for failure in every sense. You cannot simultaneous heal, pursue Jesus and become whole while also dating. Singleness is the BEST time to pursue Jesus, discover your mission, build financial security… NOT dating. So before you jump into the dating pool… ask yourself these questions!
10 questions to ask yourself to help you determine if you’re really ready to date:
1… Are you healed or working to actively heal and do whatever it takes?
2… Are you over your exes and past relationships?
3… Are you confident and secure in who you are as a single person?
4… Will you truly be okay if rejection comes your way?
5… Are you aware of your core values and non-negotiables?
6… Do you have wise counsel in your life?
7… Do you know the true reason for marriage? (ask yourself: why do you want to get married?)
There are some great questions to do a little self evaluation before fully putting yourself out into the dating world.
