When we break up with a partner, the thought of dating again is unimaginable.

never dating again break up

We feel grief, betrayal, low self confidence and all the other toxic emotions that come with it.

Every situation is different but one thing we all have to remember is there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We will date again and more often than not we will meet someone much better than our ex.

 

Take your time after the break up…

…but don’t wait too long

There isn’t much point in going on a date straight after a break up. You are probably feeling a little low and jumping straight into something to piss off your ex is not healthy.

However, when you are ready, dating can be a great boost to self-esteem and you never know – you might even have a good time!

 

Take the opportunity to feel great

There is no doubt that a break up can be a confidence hit. You should take the time to work on yourself. Feel healthy. Get fit. Dye your hair pink if you want. Just be good to yourself and remind yourself of your best qualities.

Concentrating on yourself for a while can get you ready to start dating again. And when you do, you can do so with confidence. 

 

Understand your value

In the time between a break up and dating again, think about this:

When you meet someone for a date – don’t worry about whether they will like you, worry if you will like them.

Don’t try to impress them, think about whether they will impress you.

Instead of looking for approval, decide whether you will give them yours.

We are not saying be selfish, but understanding your value is paramount to successful dating and longer term relationships.

Learn from the past

We don’t mean never trust anyone ever again. We mean use this as an opportunity to think about what you want from a relationship, and more importantly, what you don’t want.

Don’t jump into the exact same relationship as you were in before. Put yourself first.

 

Don’t give yourself repetitive strain injury

Don’t just start swiping through dating apps. The only things you will end up with are silent matches, booty calls and a very sore hand.

When you’re ready to date, date for real with #nowdating.
