Dating doesn’t have to be time-consuming if you are legitimately open to making the time.

Take a moment to ask yourself about whether you are ready to date.

It’s tempting to tell yourself that you are when you aren’t.

The truth is, you are worried that about the logistics and implications of making the time for dates.

And this is due to a number of legitimate reasons.

If this is your concern, you shouldn’t date at this time.

You should only date if you are prepared to make the time for somebody.

If you were to date when you know that you have more pressing priorities, you are wasting both your time and that of the person you are dating.

When you are so preoccupied with family, friends, career, social life, goals, or more, dating at this time in your life isn’t a smart choice.

Once you have figured out what you want to prioritize in your life, it is easier for you to decide where to go from here.

The truth is, so much of this has to do with your mental state of being.

What are you thinking about on most days?

What activities are you drawn to?

This is where your heart and desire is at the moment.

When those thoughts are primarily centered on activities outside of dating, you aren’t ready to date.

The power is in your hands.

When a person wants to date, they fit dating into their lives, and take it seriously.

When a person is much more concerned with priorities outside of dating, they don’t fit dating into their lives.

Which one are you?

There are loads of people with busy lives who make time for dating.

However, in your case, it’s probable that you have a busy life that you don’t want hampered by dating.

Should this be the case, you won’t be concerned about dating right now, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Society has programmed us to believe that we must either be in a perpetual state of dating or being in a relationship for us to be functioning human beings.

That’s a misguided viewpoint.

You don’t have to be dating right now, if you don’t believe you are ready for it and have greater priorities.

Once you are forthright with yourself about where you stand, knowing whether you should date or not at this time in your life is so much easier.

Never force dating into your life due to societal pressure.

Should there ever come a period of time where you crave romantic companionship, you will act accordingly.

This is when you prioritize dating and fit it into your life without a hitch.
