How soon is too soon? (To start a new relationship)

I'm talking ending a 1yr+ relationship, then going into a new relationship (not one night stand type thing, but actual relationship).
Inspired by the dude whose ex's mom came round.


Poll means how soon can you go on to another person. Experiences welcome (if you've ever had a relationship of course, this is ATOT)
 
well I can speak from experience....a week is not a good time....grrr

edit: for a girl (id reccomend you make sure shes 100% over the guy)
 
i was coming out of a 3.5 yr relationship. we fought, broke up, didnt speak for two weeks then got back... two weeks later, we fought broke up, didnt speak for two weeks then got back... it was quite immature, really.. but we went on like that for almost 6 more months...

then, one day... we fought, broke up, didnt speak for a week, i met my current b/f and that was that....
almost 6 yrs now... and we are as happy as clams.

🙂
 
The longer the relationship, the longer the break. If you have to ask, it's too soon. If you're using the new relationship to make you forget about the old one, you need some help.
 
There is a mandatory 15 minute downtime.

However, the longer the relationship, the longer the "mourning period." Also, losing a friend qualifies for a much longer time than losing a girlfriend. If you're both, then the two are additive.

Personally, I've been totally FUBAR for almost 5 months now on the trailing end of a lost long-time friend/1.5yr romance.

Are clams truly happy, though?

They all start smiling after I drop them into the pot of boiling water. Take from that what you will.

clams are happy, in their own quiet, private little shells, just going along in life, enjoying themselves.... until some meanie comes along and drops them in a pot of boiling water.

Does it really matter? The correct answer is when you're ready and not before.

yep, if you are ready to start a new relationship on your way out the door then great go do it, it REALLY doesnt matter as long as you feel you are ready
 
Depends on how you broke it. If it's a devastating "I thought it would last forever" break up, could take upwards of a year(longer if you were married). If it's a, "This was a long time coming" type of break up, a month should be more than enough.
