 You should date whenever you feel comfortable to do so. Just be careful you don't go on a rebound. Have fun x

By my reckoning it should be between 5 days to 1 working week until you start dating again

reader, anonymous, writes (2 September 2010): I think after a long term relationship like this the best thing to do is to spend a bit of time by yourself getting used to being a 'single' again rather than as part of a couple, and work through whatever issues you might have over the breakup first, before you head back into the dating scene. However long this takes is up to you, and depends on the sort of break up it was etc.
You should definately go out and have fun and kiss boys if you want to, but don't use it as a coping mechanism to get over the break up, or because your friends are pressuring you or anything like that. If you go on dates you can always let them know you've just got out of a relationship and arent looking to move things too fast. As for what your ex thinks, he has no claim on you anymore, but it's probably tactful not to flaunt it in his face that you are off enjoying yourself if he is really suffering
Best of luck to you!

Don't worry about what other people think but even so, if anyone thinks you didn't love you EX-BOYFRIEND, it doesn't matter. You know the truth.
