Philos Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I always had a kind of date in my mind of "When I get my life sorted out". Now it seems I have arrived there, but I don't know or know how I would know. I just started working a full-time, permanent job that I expect to be at for at least 3 years after a long period of unemployment. I graduated from the Community College in June with my AA and a one-year technical certificate and have transfered into the local University to finish my BA. I just sorted out the Financial Aid information and will be able to start going this Winter quarter (January) online, exclusively with grant money! Since I got the job my happiness level has risen steadily. I have also had the chance to meet a lot of new people (large training class) and talk with many guys and girls. I have really strong feelings now that I want to find someone new (not at work though). On the other hand, I feel like I should smooth over this transition period of my life. I was unemployed for a long time, severely depressed, and still think about my ex now and then. Part of me wants to wait until 2012 (wow! time flies) when I start classes and have been working for a few months. I just find myself thinking about wanting to meet someone a lot lately - probably the strongest I've felt it since before I even met my ex. Was thinking about it earlier today, about joining up on OKCUPID or link removed and start trying to find some dates. I don't know what to do! *EDIT* Next week will be 16 months since the breakup.

sadchick83 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Is it possible for you to just to enjoy the moment and let the romance thing occur without a contrived effort? I think it is important to have a bit of a plateau after having some personal success, enjoy the moment, enjoy being happy, successful and single. I would ease back into dating.... Link to comment
chr8st8na Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Honestly I don't think you really know until you are actually dating again (after a breakup) if u r ready or not. But if you want someone to kill the loneliness, I would also ease back in to the dating scene too. Link to comment
