 Ok you won’t know.
But you will meet someone and you will want to spend time with them
You will start asking how you will know if you are ready to date
You will think about kissing this person…
You are NOT ready for a serious relationship until you are well past the ready to date stage.
DATING is not going steady
DATING is not serious. Dating is FUN… going out with LOTS of folks… one on one, in groups…

 I hate to say it, but you will just know when you are ready.
Being ready to have a serious relationship is not something that just happens overnight. You don't just wake up one morning and go "yes, I am ready now". It doesn't work like that.
It is something that evolves over time, when you meet someone and get to know someone on a more personal level.
You can even be older (in your 20's or 30's) and NOT be ready for a serious relationship.
It is something that takes time, involves getting to know people and getting comfortable with someone. You can be dating for months and NOT be ready for a serious relationship.
What do you class as a serious relationship?
'Dating' is NOT serious, it is a getting to know you stage, and you may only date for a few weeks or months.

Hi there. If you have met a nice girl and you get along well, that's a good start.
When you talk to her, you find you have a lot in common, that's another good sign.
If when you talk, there's no awkward silences and you feel very comfortable talking to her, that's also good.
If you have known each other for a few weeks or a month or two and you seem happy in each other's company, why don't you ask her to see a movie with you one weekend?
As far as when it's time to know when you want a serious relationship, well now, that takes some time. Possibly a few months of going out and everything going smoothly, and you are happy together.
It could take up to six months to get to know each other to the point where you want to get serious and the feelings are mutual.
It's a natural evolution.
