First of all you should realize you are ready for something new in your life, for the changes. I mean if it is difficult for you you should wait for a while. They say that it would be better to wait at least half a year before starting a new relationship. Otherwise you may hurt your partner. If you have started dating someone directly after breaking up then it will be a bit difficult for you. Why? Well, you still remember all the offenses and disappointments at your past relationship. You may even to compare your partners. Well, it wouldn’t work.
Try not to overwhelm your partner complaining and blaming your ex-boyfriend. I mean nobody needs it. The past is the past. Your previous relationship is your life experience. Enjoy your boyfriend and try to avoid negative thinking. And of course you should learn from your past relationship and avoid making the same mistakes.
It is hard sometimes but you should encourage yourself starting a new relationship. Think positively and have fun with a special someone you like. Express interest in his life. Introduce him to your friends and spend more time along with him. You may do things together. Teach him something you like to do.
Do not expect too much from your new partner. We tend to think about men stereotypically. Well, appreciate your partner and do not compare him with your ex-boyfriend. Otherwise it would ruin your relations. Be patient and grateful for his support and help. Too much demanding would be difficult for both of you as well.
Your new relationship should be based on understanding. And of course it concerns both of you. If you do not understand your partner then something goes wrong and you should work it out. If it seems to you that your partner doesn’t understand you do not be too judgmental. Speak out your worries and make it clear what you want and what you expect.
If everything is fine then do not force events. And once again do not demand too much from your partner. Your relationship should progress eventually.
