How long should a person wait to start dating again? A week? A month? A couple days
How long do you usually wait?

I broke up with arsehole ninja on Saturday and got right on and re-activated that OKC profile Saturday night. Sunday night I was chatting with my SO and the rest is history. Ain't nobody got time.
As soon as I am asked out. Once I'm over it I'm over it these days.
I agree that a new man makes it easier to get over the old guy, but make sure you're not rushing into a new relationship just out of loneliness. I got out of a 1 1/2 year relationship and was dating the very next week. Started a new relationship, but quickly realized that the new guy wasn't what I wanted and that he was truly a rebound guy. So just be sure it's what you want.
Fine 4sExactly! Once u realize the relationship is not what you want but stay anyway, clearly it's a rebound. What made you realize it wasn't what you wanted and when did you realize this? gimbap

I'm saying though! This reminds me I need to get on okcupid. Soon as we separate on November 7th it's on and POPPIN.
my mama use to say, "the best cure for an old man is to get a new man." I always thought that was funny.
but for me, it depends. I never go looking for relationships as I love being single. seriously, I prefer being single. but I've noticed that I'm not even really open to serious relationships until perhaps a year and some change following the end of a committed relationship. now, do I have fun during that year....? absolutely.
There's no timetable but IMO women spend too much time disecting past relationships. You already know what you don't want but you will never figure out what you do if you don't put yourself out there. Just date. That means even if you luck out and meet a really great guy (or girl) you don't lock yourself down immediately.
Would you wait to hire an assistant after your current one quits? Do you jump and hire the first person that applies without interviewing others? Of course not yet too many women because they don't want to be single refuse to just date but instead "fall into" relationships without vetting if that person should even be taking up time. Interview a few at the same time. Go out to dinner, do fun activities meet like minded men and only when one has risen above the rest should you move into "going steady" territory. Three dates and the desire to resume having sex is not the foundation for a relationship.
Good luck!

That's why that other thread over acceptable time to date after a spouse dies annoyed me. Some women act like it's a badge of honor to be without companionship for years after their husband dies. Or they judge other women harshly for not wailing and moaning for an "acceptable" amount of time. Meanwhile a man loses his wife and folks are lining up at the wake to get him a new lady friend.
