When do you know you're in a good enough place to seek out a serious dynamic?
I recently went through a pretty rough period of instability in my life, and as things have started to calm down I've found myself starting to daydream about being in a serious dynamic again. Despite feeling like finding someone could be a positive thing for me, I keep feeling like I should push those thoughts away because I recognize I still have a lot of work to do on myself. I'm self reliant, I take care of myself (...most days), and I feel like I'm a pretty fun person to hang out with, but I'm worried that I might hit a setback or go through a rough patch and I'd feel guilty putting that kind of pressure on someone. I know that if I keep waiting for when I'm finally "good enough" to put myself out there again I'll probably keep moving the goal line and never feel ready to start looking. But I also do want to make sure I'm in a good enough place to treat whatever future partner I end up with how they deserve to be and not cause them extra stress because I'm struggling.
So when do you know you're really ready to start looking again? Is it best to wait until you're in a place you feel 100% confident in before you start, or is that place a myth, and as long as your honest about what you're going through you should always be open to meeting someone?
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read through this and help me sort out my anxious thoughts!
