How do I know I am ready for a new relationship?

Once you start to believe in your self-worth again, go at your own pace, build yourself again, you'll be ready once you regain full confidence in yourself :)

If you're happy to look for a new lover, and that you have truly moved on from the last relationship

Well, how do you know? Have you moved past your ex? And you feeling ready to be in another relationship

By feeling that you are happy knowing your with somebody else, by knowing that everything will be okay

When you stop comparing your old relationship with your new one. When you have totally let go of your past relationship and you are willing to open a new chapter with a new relationship.

When you no longer see yourself in the future with that person. The past is an important thing, but it shouldn't dwell upon the future.

When you are happy as an individual. When the past doesn't matter anymore. When you've completely moved on and contented with what's going in your life at the moment.

You are ready when you feel it is right. Maybe evaluate your mental state, if you are dealing with any kind of disorder that may make you unstable, you may not be ready and want to take time to get better before involving yourself in a committed relationship, because that way you will be able to stay focused and dedicated for when you do decide to get involved.

One of the biggest signs is to understand the importance of communication. It is a key role in a relationship. Trust should be within the relationship. You need to love yourself before loving someone else. If you have just gotten out of a relationship personally I wouldn't recommend as you are focusing on the other person instead of yourself during the breakup. If you think you are ready you need to notice little signs as, good communication, understanding one other, trust, being comfortable around them and commitment. Another key thing is balance, too much lovey dovey romance can become toxic later on. Little arguments now and then is what makes it balance out. Just like having an argument with a friend then making up. It makes the bond stronger

When you know you are independent and confident in who you are and you have purpose outside of relationships. You can reflect on life and know that the past was in the past. It grew you and now you are ready for the future. You can forgive the other people and learn it will always be a memory. Life will not always be easy but you are willing to take those risks again with someone else. You are ready to grow and learn with someone new. You won't compare them to others, but you will live to have purpose every day with that person.
