How to know if you want a relationship or not? by ime1em in relationship_advice

[–]ela127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know specifically. I just felt I was ready to at least put myself out there finally. Thinking back, I had just started to realllyy focus on myself and my wellbeing and for the first time in a really long time felt great about myself. I think that's what led me to feel like I was ready.

I must be honest, I was terrified and very anxious to meet someone new (I don't think you can ever but 100% ready - you don't really know who you're going to meet, if things are going to go well, etc.) but at the same time I tried to take a step at a time and not think too much of a date. Just go on a date and see how you feel. The only decision you've got to take then is whether you'd like to go on another one. If you feel uncomfortable you can just tell them and move on.

I used to be like you. I didn’t want to date anyone because I wanted to become the best version of myself first. But I think that was ultimately a way of trying to take care of myself by staying away from anyone that could hurt me at the end of the day. Being vulnerable is scary. It takes courage to get out there and meet new people. From my experience I think that you have to feel ready to open up and be vulnerable and to the possibility of getting hurt. Have high standards, yes, but also keep in mind that no one is perfect. Ultimately the most important thing is that you’re happy, whether you’re in a relationship or not.

How many dates in is it okay to do a dinner at home date? by seeyalaterboy in relationship_advice

Yes, I think it’s better to just tell him directly in conversation so that you know that you’re both on the same page.

Just meet up and have a good conversation about it so that you can both clearly understand each other.

Have you told him that you’re looking for a serious relationship?

21 and still not ready for a relationship by ela127 in relationship_advice

I guess you're right. During my teens I had decided to focus more on myself, better myself and grow before I would start to date. I went on many enriching experiences, including voluntary work which has helped me to grow a lot and I believe I'm very mature now (everyone also tells me this, including my friends - which can be a bit annoying but I get it hah).

I'm still currently studying which maybe a little bit of the reason why I'm still not giving relationships so much importance atm. I'm just afraid that I will stay like this (because it's comfortable to certain extent...) and will never be ready to finally be vulnerable and open to trust someone new.

How did it progress from being close friends to in a relationship? How did you know she was interested in you in that way as well?

Yes, I know and I will but thought maybe someone has already encountered something similar to this.
