You know you are ready when you fully come to terms with the emotions from your break up. When you are able to look back at those memories and not break down. also it is important not to start a relationship until you have come to terms with your feelings for your ex-partner. entering a relationship with feelings for someone else isn't healthy for you, and it isn't fair to your new partner.

If you start talking to people, getting to know them better, (even knowing this could lead you to something more) and feel completely fine and comfortable about it, it's because you're ready. So, if you feel like, maybe it's time give it a shot!

Well there are many factors you can consider while answering that question. First of all, you need to learn to be happy by yourself (you must not be desperate to be a relationship). Secondly, you won't settle for conditional love (have it with conditions or don't have it). You should be happy the way you are. Make sure your not in that phase of life when you seek for constant distraction like keeping the TV on all the time or music playing in the background. Attract a like-minded partner. Well I think that's pretty much the things you must check before getting into a new relationship.

I'm in a good place in my life. I'm doing well in school, I have a great relationship with my family and I would like to complete the circle by finding a special person I can call my partner.

If you feel that you want to date someone else, only you can decide when you are ready. You might not be over your last partner but some partners may be difficult to get over.

It's different for everyone. You might start noticing things abut girls/guys that you didn't when you were in your relationship.

1) The thought of your ex going out with someone else doesn't upset you (too much, anyway). 2) The thought of going out with someone new makes you feel fresh and hopeful. 3) You don't feel compelled to talk or think about your ex the whole time when you're with the new person.

That is based on you. Maybe talking to friends, family, teachers, coworkers, people in the chat, listeners, chatlines, and other mental health care professionals. Take your time. Enjoy your life. Don't be in a hurry. You and your future partner deserve it.

I know I am ready when everything in my life is the way that I want it. I can't add another responsibility to my life if other things are out of order.
