What I'm trying to say is that some people are in no position to even be in a relationship. That means they shouldn't even be trying to meet or talk to people. They'll only create more emotional conflict within themselves and for the other person.
But for those who are in a position, meaning state of mind (because that's the most important), there will never be a perfect time. How your interactions are carried out will depend on the logistics of things. For example, if you're long distance, you won't be in the same physical space a lot but you could compensate by talking more on the phone.
However, if you're blessed to meet someone who loves you and will make the effort, why give that up? If you truly believe that you can't accept then you probably shouldn't have been open to meeting people to begin with. Trust me, this will be that one person who got away.
But I'm also someone who believes that God has something to do with who you get with. Sometimes the person whom you're only remotely interested in is very available to you. But the person who you really want to be with and loves you back, there seems to be all sorts of obstacles that you can't seem to overcome. Yep, that's the universe redirecting you.
