Meet the person God has for me to meet ...
meet • "relationship-readiness"
Everyone is "relationship-ready," right?
Well, we sure wish 
every single Christian was, and by far the majority of single Christians think they are relationship-ready, but reality (and, most likely, your personal experience) dictates that this may not be the case. There are a plethora of reasons why so many "Christian singles" are not ready for the relationship God has for them, but for the purpose of this conversation, the most important thing is to be able to recognize that lack of readiness before you agree to date number two (or even number one!)
Let's look at some key indicator areas ...
Here's a list of areas designed to serve as discussion-starters or "thinking-points" as you ponder the people with whom you have been in relationship in the past (or who would have wanted to be in a relationship with you. :)
And if you are really wise, you'll ask yourself how you stack up in these areas, as well. (Or ask a trusted frend for his/her perspective.)

The antidotes ...
- Make that list of characteristics that are imperative for you to experience ("must-haves") in order to continue in a relationship.
- Make that list of 'deal-killers' ("can't-stands") that would cause you to end the relationship immediately.
- Abide by your list ... It won't get swayed by infatuation or emotionalism :)
