Absolutely. I ignored them for months. After a painful breakup, I jumped back into dating because I couldn’t stand being alone.
Every date felt like an audition. I was desperate for someone to validate me, not to know me. That’s the biggest sign—you’re not ready if you need dating to heal you.
When you’re truly ready, loneliness feels less like emptiness and more like space. You stop chasing closure from others.
I took six months off dating to rebuild my self-worth. When I met someone later, I was calm, not anxious. Healing first made all the difference.
