After a breakup, how long should you wait before seeing someone else?

I would say the bare minimum for waiting before dating again after a break up should be three weeks. Week ONE: Do not do anything, let the sting of the break up wane. Week TWO: Take time for yourself, do a few of those things that you have putting off for yourself.It could be a weekend trip, a spa, reading, whatever you identify as quality "me time.

" Week THREE: Prepare yourself to be in circulation again, some new clothes, a new look; anything that will make you feel comfortable and above all confident. By the start of week FOUR you are ready. Mind you, for some people this should be divided into monthly instead of weekly time segments.

I offered the weekly version because I believe this is the shortest time frame that seems fair to yourself and that can help you avoid "rebound mistakes.

I like marisaupa's answer because I think it's always good to find yourself again after a relationship. However, like vic, I also think that it depends on the nature of the break up. If it had been coming on for a while, then a long time might not be needed.

Perhaps the reason for the break up is because you already have someone else in mind that you want to date. If it was a very emotional break up and you weren't expecting it, then some time would be appropriate - a few weeks to a few months depending on the person.

At least until you shower and change your clothes.

I think it depends on the person and the relationship. Granted it's respectful to wait a while after a long term relationship but.. heck.. in my case those have generally ended badly, why should I respect him? I'd say long enough is when you feel ready.

It depended on how upset you were after this break up. Did you break up with her or did she break up with you? That would be a key point in deciding how long to wait.

Sometimes when one relationship ends another presents its self and having a strict time line might make you miss something good.

That would depend on several things. How serious was the relationship? How long did it last?

Were you both committed? Who ended it? If you were only dating, I don't think that there is a necessary "grieving" period, move on and move up.

If it was a lengthy and committed one, then perhaps allow a little time to for each of your to find yourselves again would be best. A few weeks, to a few months. It's up to whether or not you are over the other person, and can honestly move on.

If you find yourself looking for a rebound, then perhaps you should give yourself a little more time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
