Breakups are never easy, but they're almost always a good thing in the long run. Post-break up, it's always a good idea to focus on yourself first, mourn and let go of the previous relationship, and have one of those rom-com-level glow-ups to prove to everyone (including yourself) that you're in a better place. Once you've leveled up, it might be time to dip your toes back into the dating pool. It feels like the natural next step because it is, but if you've just gotten out of a long-term relationship, you may have forgotten the slew of issues that comes with meeting people again. You must contend with lingering feelings for your ex as you constantly and reflexively compare everyone to them, sudden and fleeting crushes that turn out to be nothing burgers, and the dissonance between feeling hot and ready for love and absolutely not wanting anyone to approach you, ever. It's rough out there. Enjoy these memes about the trials and tribulations of re-entering the dating scene.
