Are you relationship READY?
Dating communities for singles who are ready for a committed, monogamous relationship.
Hello, Eligible Family!
Finding love can sometimes feel like navigating a puzzle with thousands of pieces. Sometimes I feel completely overwhelmed by the dating process, and other times I dive right in only to find that several pieces are missing. But here’s the truth: when we don’t take time to do the necessary “heartwork,” we end up substituting a loving relationship with something less fulfilling.
At Eligible, we’re creating a space for singles who are preparing for a committed relationship. But what does that really look like? To guide you, we’ve developed the READY acronym — a roadmap to intentional dating and building meaningful connections. Let’s dive in:
R – Resolved
A relationship-ready person has resolved past relationship challenges by reflecting on their role in them. They’ve done the work to identify unhealthy patterns and have made intentional choices to prepare for healthier dynamics. Without this step, we’re bound to repeat old habits. But with it? We’re ready to move forward with clarity and purpose.
E – Emotionally Mature
Being relationship-ready means being able to manage your emotions in healthy ways. Emotionally mature individuals are comfortable expressing their feelings and needs respectfully and effectively. They understand that communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship.
A – Authentic
Authenticity is key! Someone who’s READY knows who they are and is comfortable in their own skin. We are all created uniquely, and those who embrace their individuality while dating will naturally attract the right partner.
D – Desires Commitment
Being relationship-ready doesn’t mean desperately seeking a partner. Instead, it’s about truly desiring a committed, monogamous relationship while still being happy and fulfilled as a single person. A relationship becomes a priority, not a necessity.
Y – YOLO (You Only Live Once)
Lastly, someone who’s READY is excited to experience the joy of meeting and connecting with potential partners. They are open to new connections and comfortable making the first move when they’re interested in someone.
Your Challenge: Check In With Yourself
Are you READY? Take a moment to reflect on each aspect of the acronym. Have you resolved past patterns? Are you emotionally mature and authentic? Do you truly desire a committed relationship and yearn for meaningful connections? If so, you’re already on the path to finding love.
If there are areas where you feel less READY, that’s okay! Consider this your opportunity to focus on your “heartwork” and personal growth. Relationships thrive when both people come in as whole, healthy individuals ready to build something beautiful together.
Let’s be intentional, hopeful, and READY to build healthy, lasting relationships.
Love,
Alecia Brewster
