It takes two to tango!
langleygirl: That's sooooooo bad!!!!!
I think the reality is that each of us is different in how we deal with life and as stated by others that some have "left" the relationship far before they have physically moved on therefore who is to determine whether there is a certain time frame?
Do what works for you and when you are comfortable it will feel right. A good indicator for me when speaking with someone about where they are in their life is what are they talking about ie. their ex. and all the troubles and woes means to me that they aren't "present". I'd rather met someone who talks about him and me if I were thinking about dating.

48 hours?
That is an awful lot of drinking though.

I disagree, you've never seen me dance alone. I'm as graceful as an antelope dodging 270 rounds.

Geeze you sound like a rendition of the male deer that was contorting his way in front of my car the other morning. Sad to say it wasn't a pretty sight for him or my car. I disagree, you've never seen me dance alone. I'm as graceful as an antelope dodging 270 rounds.

That's sounds more like breakdancing, and I don't do that.
So, do you at least have snacks in the freezer now?

I was telling Moose it would have been at least worthwhile to track that buck down and put him in the freezer. My deductible is only $250 thank goodness ... and boy I thought he was going to come through the windshield.So, do you at least have snacks in the freezer now?
SoonerGal: So really my point is, seems like some people fall in love every other day...I still get text from ex once or twice a week even though he got married 2 weeks ago, one said that he still loved me, but he is content now....see how messed up things get, so that's the main reason I just don't get it...I must have a really warped version of what love is... guess I just don't readily give my heart and feelings away
How soon should you move on? SOON and FAST. Your ex did it when he married someone else. "Rebounds" can work if the new person is not a total loser. JMO
kidatheart: Any time after 24 hours of the break up. That gives you time to sober up after that first night of being single.
Although, if you meet someone while drinking, then half way through the first beer works too.

It just depends on the individual and the circumstances.
I started dating right away after the end of a 22 year marriage but was so devastated after a a five year relationship that it took me over a year to start dating again.

Agreed. All I really know is that the time has passed. LOL.
It takes time to get over a relationship imo, so if a guy would tell me he is back dating after a couple of weeks I would give him a wide berth.
Might be a long time if your heart is broken but if it's just after a couple of month and no hurt feelings I think it's a different matter.

After life dating,is allowed????
I guess whenever you think that you're over the mourning process and you've had a chance to heal so to speak.
online today!SoonerGal: Lets suppose you were in a 1+ year relationship, how soon should you start dating
When you're ready for it and have left your ex behind you.
yes there is grieving time,esp. when you cared for them very much...but!!! I think it is up to yourself to decide when to start dating again,there is no time schedule on love!!!!!! :):):)
SoonerGal: Lets suppose you were in a 1+ year relationship, how soon should you start dating
the answer is a no-brainer. as soon as you are ready

rebel2: As long as it takes to make a phone call
When you feel ready, dammit I can't find anything on it in google
tomcatwarne: When you feel ready, dammit I can't find anything on it in google
you know it's a lot like getting cut wide open...amazing how many want to slap a Band-Aid on and call it good
reb56: day or sooner,lol.
Unless one grieves sufficiently and somewhat heal from the past relationship, the result will be disastrous. Rescue-rebound relationship. Unless the picture of the other person is the same, i.e. newly out of a relationship, it will flop and the *fresh* party will end up getting hurt.. big time.
Obviously there are exceptions, but definitely it's not the rule.

No no, I'll go for the whole nurse treatment it may not make it any easier, but it's better than hiding away and crying in your pillow, JMO.
