When to End a Break

You might find that once you officially take a break from dating, you suddenly meet lots of great people who ask you out. Turning the focus off looking for love often means that you will attract it instead. This is especially true because you'll be enjoying your life more and doing things you like to do, which is always appealing to the opposite sex.

Before you end your break, make sure that:

You're not doing it just because you want to go out with someone you just met. If you want to get to know them better, go out casually with them a few times before ending your break.
You're feeling lonely and think that ending the break will help. You can help alleviate loneliness by establishing deeper connections with friends and family, and actively getting engaged in new activities.
You're feeling strong and healthy, and that your spirit has a renewed sense of purpose.

At the end of your break, you should feel positive about life, and about meeting new love if it comes your way.
