Tips for Moving on After Losing the One You Love

Whether you’re relationship ended, you went through a terrible divorce, or you’re spouse passed away.. the time will come when you start to wonder about beginning a new relationship. That point could come because you met someone new that seemed really nice or maybe it creeps up on you one night while you’re laying in bed alone. Maybe your friends are pushing you to go on a blind date or your family won’t stop bugging you about “getting back out there.”

First you need to understand that only you can know if you’re ready to start dating again. So don’t let anyone pressure you into dating again if you don’t feel that you aren’t truly ready for it. So before you even think about dating, really be sure that are ready for it.

If you’re relationship ended, you need to be sure that you are over your ex. If you try dating when you aren’t over your ex, you’ll sit with your date the whole night going on and on about your ex. Nobody likes hearing their date talk about their ex’s do they? Don’t date until you’re ready, and until you are truly over your ex.

If your spouse has passed away, things will be different for you. But there are many ways you can learn to move on with your life after losing a spouse such as reading books, seeing a therapist, or talking with a grief counselor. When you’re really ready to meet someone new, you’ll know it. Maybe not until you actually meet that person, but you’ll know when the time is right.

You need to give yourself time. Don’t rush into anything until you have given yourself plenty of time to deal with the break up or the loss of your spouse. Even if this means allowing yourself years to figure out how to live life on your own, it’s important that you learn to live life without your partner. You need time to yourself so you know that you can make it on your own.

After you’ve allowed yourself plenty of time, and you know that you are truly ready, tell your friends you’ll try that blind date or maybe you’ll actually say yes to the guy at work that’s been interested in you for over a year. There are many ways to find someone, but what is most important is that you are only going on dates with people you really want to date and with people you feel comfortable with.
