writes:when you break up with your partner to allow yourself enough time to get over the person a good time line to follow is:for every year you were together add one month i.e 1 year 1 month 2 years 2 months.Add another two months onto the total of the first months and this should give you at least enough time to help you get over you partner. Or at least when you begin dating again you will know it wont be a rebound . Reply to this Article

Really there is no time line . I have been though this myself , being shy and the one to be told to get lost , took any of the selfconvidence I had and took it away from me. but I soon learned that I have lots to offer a special someone as do you so the sooner the better I say.get out do things and spend time with friends, some day someone will love you for you. good luck

 I think after you break up with someone its a very hard thing to get over as its someone who you adore and thought of spending the rest of your life together and were so happy together... it takes alot of time to get over this, as people know, So when you break up with your boyfriend.girlfriend... don't rush yourself to go and look for someone new... dont even think about relationships untill your ready....
Let the person find you...
and maybe when you get to know them... who knows.. you might hit it off !! (:
Good luck with this and i hope it was helpful!
Nobody can tell you for sure WHEN you will be ready... you can just feel it in your heart.

intriuged is verified as being by the original poster of the questionwell i dont know about detaching from ones feelings i wouldnt recomend that its not detachmement you want you need to deal wit whats happened before you move onto a new relationship. this is how when you move on to a new relationship you find the old stuff come up if you havnt already dealt with it.

my golden rule is for every 6 months of dating 2 weeks are alloted for you know crying and what ever you need to do
but i say if it was like 5 years + take as much time as you need
when i get out of a relationship 1)i dance 2)i stop caring immediately my dad always says "don't cry over split milk"
so i just go try to find a new glass of milk

I think it depends on a person's capacity to detach himself from his feelings. There are some who can get over a break up in 1 month after years of relationship but some who even just dated for a month can't forget the person through out the rest of their life.
Like for me, I broke up with my ex of one year, and now still a year later, I still cannot fully say I have moved on and will be ready for another relationship. I need more time.

 Good advice! I was with my ex for 7yrs and although I went on a few casual dates, it was exactly a year before I got into another relationship. I know I definitly needed that time and I don't know how anybody can come out of a serious relationship and go straight into another. I'm not critisising, I just know I couldn't do it!
