How do you know you're ready to date again after abuse?

First, you need to feel healed enough to not compare the people you're dating to the narcissist - at least not to the "good parts" of the narcissist. It's so easy to focus on what you loved about the narcissist after spending time apart. So often, when survivors meet a "normal" person, they feel like the relationship isn't quite as exciting or interesting as it was with the narcissist. That's because a "normal" person doesn't always do the extreme highs and lows that a narcissist does, and because our dopamine receptors are sort of broken when we've been abused.

So you need to feel strong enough to recognize that and make up for it with intentional thought management.

You need to have taken the time to grieve the relationship appropriately - and in most cases, that will take 3 months to a year, depending on the person.
