How do I know if I'm ready for a new relationship?

Let's be clear about everything! No, no, no! Do not go for the new guy. Keep it friends only without sex. If you have went there you already have broke all the rules. You are in a rebound relationship. Woe! do you really like him, well why do you still like your ex??? Put the brakes on right now. You can't feel the same way about your new friend that you feel for your ex for real. You may not have had proper closure. If you have questions then you aren't ready. take the time to get over your ex. Go to your ex and make it perfectly clear if this haven't been done already. Then move on. Seriously you have no right to keep living in the past and yet invite others into your future when you are not ready.

Does it really matter? If you sit there and wonder if it's the right thing to do, some other girl may swoop in a grab his attention. In which case you would be better off without him anyways. lol

Why don't you and this guy have a "trial period"? Make it 3 months. But pull back on certain things like, say sex I'm sure will be a big factor, so maybe resist the temptation there. BUT BUT BUT .... remain "exclusive to each other". Means no wandering off to be with other people. Then say after the trial period is over. Have a think what you want/both want.

Give him a chance, when you start hanging out with him you might find you're not as into your ex as you thought. Sometimes you miss the company a guy will bring and, with a new guy that void will be filled. You are still gonna think about your ex sometimes though, that's normal. Just don't pass on something amazing without giving it a chance, better to take the chance than to regret it later on in life.

Only you would know if you're truly ready...Are you ready for hearbreaks? Are you ready for going on dates? Putting time on your boyfriend, and leave other stuff behind? You need to ask yourself questions toward if you're ready to date again. But the most important question, Do you think this boy will be worth it? Don't go out with someone if you still have feelings for another guy. Trust me, been there, not a good thing...Only you know you're ready. Listen to your heart :) Good luck!

what i wouldn't do for a guy who wants a serious relationship and mean it, your lucky to have found a guy like this. you and your ex are over sounds like he's moved on so why are you still holding on, he became an ex for a reason, so i say try this new guy. start as friends and don't rush take it slow and see where it goes.

Try the new guy because why chase after someone you know doesn't want you. This new guy could be way better than the old and you will never know unless you try.
