Dating after a break up can be mentally challenging. There are some things you can do to slowly get used to it again.
Learn to trust men again
If you got cheated on during your previous relationship, it can be rather difficult to trust again. Everything the next person says and does will make you doubt them. It's very understandable, but a new man in your life deserves a little bit of trust as you're starting off with a clean slate. He should not be punished for the mistakes made by your ex. However, trusting again is easier said than done. Nobody can tell you how to do this and in what time frame. You're the only one who can decide when the time is right.
Finding yourself
If you're single again after a long relationship, it is not strange to feel like you do not know what to do with yourself. You have been with someone for so long you do not know just exactly who you were before the relationship. To become yourself again, you can for example spend lots of time with your family and friends, go traveling or pick up your old hobbies. Try to find out what makes you happy!
Learn to accept your mistakes
Recognize that both you and your partner made mistakes. If you know what went wrong, you can work on it and change for the better. By learning from your mistakes, you can grow in life and also in your next relationship.
Opening up
After you break up you may prefer to stay in your room, but try to go out as much as possible. You shouldn't hook up with the first person you meet with, but it's good to meet new people. It'll make you feel more confident!
Learning to communicate
As tempting as it is to make your ex look bad when you're with a new person, don't! It is not only common, but also shows that you're not ready to let your ex go completely. When you're dating someone, keep the conversation so nice and airy and enjoy the moment. Keep your ex out of it.
