 Things have changed, I didn't think there was a protocol on teen dating. In junior high anyone could find themselves in a new RS by the end of second period. I've seen RS's on school buses that lasted 10 minutes only to find their one truely new love in the third seat. Don't even ask about pool parties, that was just a guessing game of who would end up with who on the way home.

 6/8 weeks. Respect the feelings of your ex girlfriend. Imagine how you would feel if she broke up with you and she found another boyfriend within a couple weeks. I can imagine feelings of being easily replacable and being unimportant.
You can do what you want, ask someone out next week of you want, just know what you are hurting another human being, one you used to care for..
Girls are generally more sensitive than boys at that age, constantly questioning themselves. Let your ex get over you first.

 I'd give it as long as you feel it takes for you to be ready for another relationship.
Only you know the answer to this one, do what is right for you, it doesn't matter what other people think!
Good luck

 I think you should wait until you have sometime to yourself. Make sure you are 100% over your ex and enjoy being single for a while. Figure out what went wrong in your previous relationship and use that as a lesson towards your next one. There is no time limit but don't rush into getting another girlfriend. Good Luck!

Do it when the time feels right but if you do not want to hurt your ex's feeling then I'd say about 2 months. Dude.

No set time. Depends on wat u feel. R u over her? Def wait til ur completely over her first. U dnt wanna end up wanting her back or regretting losin her in the end. So if u can absolutely be sure u have rid of all your feelings for her, then go for it

 24 hours seems like a good round number. I didn't know there was a "correct" time lapse; I rember when I was a kid( amillion years ago) and my 'loveofmy life called to give me my walking papers. The last thing on my mind was protocal on how long I should wait before finding a new gf. All I could think about was how to not bleed to death after my heart had been ripped out through my chest. I thought about revenge.

At least a month anyway.

 I would give it a month or two. It really depends how long you two dated. If it was short then a month would be fine provided that you are over the relationship. If it was longer then give it more time otherwise the girl may see herself as the rebound and others may judge. In the end it doesn't really matter, you can't help when you meet someone you like and sometimes if you wait you lose the oppertunity to date them.
