In this situation, I'd say there's no need to leave a period of time between breaking up and starting to date agin.
It may, however, be different in a situation where it was feelings for someone else that were the reason for the break-up and your ex was still close by. In that situation, one might want to leave a little time to save the ex's feelings. Then again, perhaps that would be dishonest? (Perhaps, it would be better to tell them about those feelings, before *perhaps* both deciding to break up if that seemed the best course of action for everyone concerned?)
Anyway... I digressed... Overall, I think this one's pretty simple. Provided you feel ready (i.e aren’t still too tender to be able to fully enjoy someone new), it's a go!

You will know within yourself when the time is right.
Take time out for yourself, enjoy yourself and your life and discover what YOU really want from life. By all means have casual dates but be certain before you get into another serious relationship with someone. Once you are ready then you will be able to give so much to the new relationship because you will be full of self confidence.
Good Luck!

The opposite of love is hate, once you got over hatred and is willing to be friends again, you can start to date someone else. On the other hand, it can be just the next day because you may meet up with someone whom can be" love at first sight", but remember is love at first sight and not lust at first sight.

I read in a book of ettiquette, that it should be a about a month for every year you were seeing them. So in your case, two months. If you want to be on the safe side, double it to four.
If you stick to this rule it will prevent you rushing into anything on the rebound but in all sincerity, it is entirely up to you to do what you think is best.

When I broke up with my boyfriend, I didn't feel like dating for a long time--don't force things, your heart will tell you when it's the right time.

How long does it take for you to heal and are you willing to move on. It's all up to you and what your needs are. Sucks, starting a new relationship again.

You don't know the rebound equation?!
wait 23 days per year dated
So, logically, you should be off the rebound in [2x23=45 days]. Jeez, am I the only one who knows this? Idiots...
