If you are single and you are actively dating, there is a good chance that you will end up in a relationship – but before you do, there are a few things you should consider. Here are three things you should think about before your next relationship.

1. Things You Should Think About Before Your Next Relationship: If You Are Emotionally Damaged

Lots of people suffer from emotional damage, especially if they have been through a difficult break up in the past. Some people become closed-off and uncommunicative, while other people become clingy and co-dependent… which isn’t good for a healthy relationship. So if you are talking to someone and you think that you may be emotionally damaged, take some time to work on yourself before starting a relationship. This means that you are more likely to end up in a healthy, happy relationship!

2. If You Still Have Feelings For Your Ex

If you still have feelings for your ex you should address them, rather than ignoring them. It can be tempting to bury negative feelings deep inside so you can get on with your life, but in reality this normally makes the feelings worse. So take some time to be honest with yourself about how you really feel, and then focus on moving on.

3. If You Dislike Your Appearance

Lots of people live with insecurities, and this is totally normal – after all, we can’t all look like Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes! However it is important to make sure that you feel good in your own skin, especially if you are thinking about starting a new relationship. This is because deep insecurities can cause tension in a relationship.
