Are you Ready for a Serious Relationship?
Most people want a relationship, but are you sure you're really ready for one?
First, go back to the questions here, and count up how many A’s you chose, B’s you chose and C’s you chose.
See which letter you chose MOST, and then see if you are ready for a serious relationship below!
Mostly A's: Yes
You are ready for a healthy, committed, long-term relationship! You want it all, a great partner, love, companionship, and maybe even a family. You feel a relationship will enhance your life right now and that's a big part of why you want one.
Remember, a serious relationship takes time to develop, and there is no way to rush the process. Take your time getting to know potential partners, and let the closeness and connection build and strengthen as you get to know each other better.
Mostly B's: Almost
You're almost ready! And it's ok to want a serious relationship, but not to be 100% ready for one. This just means you need to do more inner work before you'll be 100% ready for that loving partnership you long for.
The most important work you can do for yourself is to heal from old wounds and learn to love yourself. The more you love yourself, the more likely you are to choose a loving partner and to be able to feel loved by that person. When you don't love yourself, you're more likely to ignore red flags and to put up with less than you deserve.
Remember, you are the hero of your story, and only you can do the work needed to heal.
Mostly C's: Not Yet
You're ready to get out there and date, but you are not quite ready for a serious relationship. That's okay! You have more work to do to love yourself, heal from old wounds, and learn important relationship skills. You're moving in the right direction, but healing and growing take time.
Remember, you are more than enough as you are, and entirely worthy of love. Practice communicating your truth; your needs; your feelings. Get more comfortable setting boundaries and putting yourself first.
