is it too soon to date someone fresh out of a breakup? let’s talk

Dating someone who just ended a long relationship can feel like walking on eggshells. You never know if you’re helping them heal or just a rebound. I’ve learned to check in with myself first. Am I ready for the emotional ups and downs? If not, it’s totally fine to take a step back. Communication is everything. I try to ask gentle questions about their past, but I don’t push. If they want to share, they will. I remind myself not to compare. Their ex is part of their story, but I’m here now. I focus on building new memories together. Patience is key. Some days are great, others feel weird. I try to give them space when they need it, and celebrate the small steps forward. At the end of the day, I trust my gut. If it feels good, I lean in. If it feels heavy, I give myself permission to pause. #datingadvice #relationships #emotionalhealth #selfcare #RomanticRelationships
