Crucially, the text stresses that true preparation requires feeling complete and whole without a partner, meaning one is no longer trying to fill a void or use independence as armor. Additional positive signs involve the evaporation of jealousy about the ex’s new life and the ability to stop comparing every potential date to the former partner. The guide concludes by emphasizing that dating should stem from abundance, not scarcity, and that the ultimate green light is feeling genuine excitement about the future regardless of whether a new relationship is present.
