single... but not ready to mingle?

I broke up with my boyfriend 4 years ago. I wasn't ready to mingle for all these years because I was totally broken and i think I still had some feelings for him. But now I'm totally Ok now and i'm pretty ready to mingle lol.

My humble opinions,I think some of them just afraid of open their heart rather than not ready to do it,and perhaps they are not willing to bear the responsibility of love relationship,there is also a possibility their life not be willing to be disturbed.For me,i am waiting for my princess appear~~ T am a new comer here,please forgive my rudeness!

There could be many reasons why someone is not ready to mingle. They could be still thinking of their ex, they could be scared, They could have kids, They might work multiple jobs, be in debt up to their ears, low self esteem, etc.

I'm single and i'm not sure if i'm ready or not to mingle. I've never been into a relationship before because I focused on my studies. I'm done with school for the moment but on the next school year i'm thinking of pursuing a higher degree and i'm not sure if I can handle having a relationship and school at the same time. I don't know. :D There can be a lot of reasons why people stay single and don't enter into a relationship right away like, they think they still have a big responsibility for their family, and yeah, they are still not over with the past relationship or they couldn't find yet the person that they wanna be with. A lot of reasons, really.

They may say that but I doubt it. The way I see it, when that moment comes when you develop that certain feeling for someone, you may say that you are not ready but your heart will say that you are. You may limit your actions but you can not stop your emotions.

The main time people are not ready to mingle is after a break up. Once broken up with a serious partner, most people respond in 1 of 2 ways. They either go out and party and mingle to try to fill the void, or they take some time off to regroup. The second is in my opinion the most common, and the main reason why people would be single but not ready to mingle.

I know lots of women that way, myself included. I've been single again for about 5 years. I did date for quite a few of those years, but about 2 years ago I dated this guy and after a while he showed a side of his personality that was really, really, scary. I'm finding I'm ok with being single, but if the right guy would show up, no problem haha. I think there are many reasons for not wishing to mingle. Too many bad experiences: guys going from nice to the opposite end of the spectrum (ie: mean). Then there's people who break your faith by consistently lying, or taking advantage. Actually, it's quite refreshing to be alone for a time, you get to know yourself better, and you realize just what you will or won't put up with..and that's not a bad thing.

Well that is totally understandable. If you have just recently ended a relationship it is best that you have time to move on and start fixing your life before you start to look for a new one. I guess it is all dependent on each person.

There are people who doesn't get along with others immediately. They have to be with new friends for longer time before they can mingle with them. Other maybe somewhat ashamed or shy and finds it hard to get friends with new acquaintance. Anyway, there is always time for that, if it already time for you to get into a relationship, opportunity and fate will make a way.

most people who just suffered from heartaches usually don't mingle a lot. time heals all wound and when the right time that this single is already healed maybe that's the time to mingle. don't rush up things take it easy and just take one step at a time rush decision usually ends up the worst.

there are many reasons why single persons dont mingle right away with other person. it may depend on how long the person can move on with a past relationship. love is abstract and literally very broad to tackle. rushing things to happen may just worsen their case since it may be considered as their compensatory mechanism to suddenly cope up with their past relationship.
