Reflections - Part 1
Romantic Relationships
Hello everyone!!! We are already saying goodbye to the first quarter. A lot of people are reflecting on their lives to round up Q1. I have never done any evaluations before, and I would like to do one with you guys.
I don’t know but I always feel so shy talking about the topic of romantic relationships.
Anyway, let’s dive into my non-existent love life.
Well, I have never been in a romantic relationship. This was a thing of choice, and we would get down to the bottom of this in future stories when I am ready to share but let me just sum all of them up to the fact that I knew I was not ready for one. Lately, I have been wondering whether I am ready for one this year. This has led to a ton of other questions that I need answers to. These questions are not just about me. I believe other people would like answers also.
How does one know when they are ready?
Do I think I am ready now because I am working now, and I am a bit stable financially?
This previous question is important because I was job hunting and not financially stable, so I never even thought of a relationship.
Should money be a factor when getting ready for a relationship?
When I am ready, how do I announce it especially when I have postured my life in such a way that it is clear that I am so comfortable being single?
What does it take to be ready for a relationship?
Do I just leave it to luck/chance when ready or do I need to take steps?
What are the proofs that show that I am ready for one?
I thrive off comfort. Once I am comfortable I just remain there. But I am trying to be better this year by making deliberate efforts to do things out of my comfort zone. Note that, I am not necessarily craving a relationship, so I am wondering if that is because I am very comfortable being alone or if I am still not ready. Thus, I need to ask these questions regarding my love life.
One last necessary question since I am an overthinker
Am I overthinking this readiness thing?
