Consciously or unconsciously, the quest to fulfil our perceived needs drives our lives and influences all our decisions. This is just as true with relationships as with anything else. As long as you perceive lack or incompleteness within yourself, every relationship you enter will be, to one degree or another, an effort to supply that lack or bring a sense of completeness. If you feel deficient, the entire relationship is built on that deficiency, because you will be looking to the other person to supply what you do not yet have.
You are ready to date only t the extent that you feel whole or complete within yourself, apart from any other person (except God). When you regard dating as a matter of choice rather than necessity, you are ready. It is a matter of your ability to be happy and content whether you are with someone else or not.
The time you are most prepared for dating is when you don't need anyone to complete you, fulfill you or instill in you, a sense of worth or purpose. You are ready to date when you have first learned how to be single.

True. I discovered this recently after my last relationship. Meanwhile, I observed over my years of dating that one should not go into a relationship coz of loneliness (or what op described above); coz when the loneliness fades, one would tend to see the other unwanted and unbearable behaviours in the person ultimately leading to breakup.


But then again, by the time one gets to that stage where one is comfortable with oneself alone as op said, it can become hard to let someone in sometimes. Nice one from OP.

Nice write up

Yea, when it becomes hard to let someone in, I think the right person eventually does show up often.

tell that to Genevive or Agbani Darego
