The biggest issue is usually with other people. You can tell they like you, or they love you, or they want you, but they do not act on those feelings. It can be very disheartening to see something you want in front of you, but not be able to touch it.

Try to understand the other person. No matter what you believe, it took certain things happening to you in your life that led you to the place of being ready. You had to work through issues and what not. Let the other person reach their destination of being ready as well.

Would you even want to be with someone if they were not ready or able to be with you yet? No, it would drive you crazy. As our lives continue, we come across obstacles, emotional walls & breakdowns, and fear. It is common for people who have experienced those things to be somewhat hesitant to opening their heart and diving into the deep end.

Do not take it as a personal insult because they are scared, that is their fear. Nine times out of ten, that person has no idea that you are taking their behavior personally and that they are pissing you off, hurting you, or pushing you away. And YES, someone can like you, be interested, want you, etc...and still act out of fear or try protecting their vulnerability. So remember, just because you are ready, does not mean the person of your dreams has it all together just yet.
