If the person you are dating is not readi for a relationship

If they say they are not ready for relationship,

That is absolutely fine.

Just stick to what you are looking for.

Importantly, avoid giving them relationship benefits in that case.

This means, No sex, No kissing or intimate touching.

It is helpful that you honour yourself. If they just want friendship, understand what friendship means.

Hanging out, doing friendly dates and enjoying moments together.

Until they say they want to be with you and you have the actual first date, and they are consistent and open with communication, adhere to your boundaries.

Above all, observe character and do not ignore red flags.

It might be challenging when you really like this person, to hold back and not want to tell them how you feel for them.

Yet, it helps to recognise that people know what they want.

Regulate yourself and learn boundaries to honour and respect yourself

Heal your inner child to avoid attaching to people who are not on the same page.
