Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Just from that, I don't believe I am ready for a relationship. The main problem I see in this short text for me is the end of verse 5 "it keeps no record of wrongs." I hold grudges for long periods. I am getting better with that, but I still have problems. It may be just that I'm overly critical of myself, however--which is why many pastors recommend you talk to people close to you about these things.
Even without that passage, I am jobless, so it's a bad time for me to start a relationship anyway.
