How do you know when you are ready to have a boyfriend?

Being ready to embark on a relationship requires a variety of life skills. There are a few ways to know when you are ready to accept a boyfriend into your life. The first is respecting and treating yourself with kindness. If you don’t know how to treat yourself well, you certainly won’t be able to be discerning enough to find someone who will do the same. Secondly, you should know how to set boundaries. Being very clear about what kind of behavior you will and won’t accept, as well as how to assert your boundaries is essential to a healthy relationship. You are educated about sex, sexual assault, and healthy relationships.
