It's different for everyone, but I think that staying out of relationships helps us get to know ourselves better, without the spotlight that comes from an intense, one-on-one relationship. Take your time, and just lo0ok for now. There's no harm in looking, just try not to stare, lol. Another question that helps is, "Would you date yourself?" If not, your'e not ready... and if you would, you're not ready, lol. Crazy stuff huh?
