Here are a few signs that will help you understand if you’re ready for a committed relationship or not:

1. Emotional maturity — You have to be emotionally stable enough to handle the ups and downs in a relationship and to communicate your feelings effectively while being able to handle conflicts. This also entails being able to compromise with your partner.
2. Self-awareness — You have to know what you want in a relationship and what your boundaries are.
3. Independence — You need to have an identity and self-fulfillment outside of being in a romantic relationship.
4. Time and energy — You have to invest time and energy into a committed relationship, so make sure you have enough of both.
5. Financial stability — Money isn’t a requirement for dating, but you need to be financially stable so you don’t become dependent on your partner.
6. A support system — You’ll need friends and family to help you if things don’t work out.
