Cupid’s Advice:Â
Before you jump into the next relationship, you need some time to think about what you really want in a significant other, and you need to get reintroduced to yourself. Some people take awhile to get back into the dating scene, while others feel ready after a couple of weeks. Cupid is here to help:
1. You’re over your last relationship: When you think back on your past relationship, you have absolutely no feelings whatsoever. You no longer think ‘what if’, and you’re ready to give love a chance with someone.
