You should wait at least 6 months out of respect.

Well, it depends on how long its been since she died. First you should tell her that your girlfriend died and that you dont want it to get in the midde of yur relationship and everything. JUst let her know how it was between you guys and if you want, ask her to help you get over her so that you two can have a nice peaceful relationship. If it seems like she is ok with the whole girfriend situation then i think you sohuld go ahaed and give the relationship a try.

How involved were you with the other girlfriend? Are there children or other family memebers that you are still in touch with and are an active part of your life stemming from this past relationship? If you weren't heavily involved with the former girlfriend and there is no family or other friends who might see your moving on as "disrespect" then there should be no waiting period any longer than you need to grieve for your own loss. If there are others involved, my answer is to discuss the fact that you have grieved and respect their grief for the loss you have faced but that you are ready to continue with your life and that the deceased party would want it that way. If the involved parties are children, my advice is to do what is comfortable for you and not to involve the children until/unless it is necessary. Very sorry for your loss, but it is obvious that you are interested in moving on with your life, as you should do. It is healthy and natural to do so! Best of luck in the future.

You worded that question so poorly, I'm not really sure how to answer. If you meant to ask this:
"I had a girlfriend who died recently. There's a girl who likes me, and I think I like her back, but I am afraid that it might be too soon to date someone after this tragedy. Does anyone have any advice for me?"
then my answer is, live your life. BUT do not start a relationship simply to mask your feelings for your passed girlfriend. If you've mourned properly, and feel that this new girl is an addition to your life rather than a substitution for the other girlfriend, then I say go for it.

It all depends on how long ago it was. Give yourself a good amount of time before you go off and start up something with someone else.
When ever you think you are fully ready. You will know when the time is right.

Think. Are you just going through to get over your old girl friend or do you actually like the person? Do what makes you feel better.

depends how long ago she died and if you had any feelings for her at all. If you had feelings wait three to six months if not...then go ahead and live your life I'm sure that's what she would have wanted you to do.

no You should wait and not jump into relationships that fast. You guys could be just friends first. Until you feel totally comfortable.

Were you exclusive?

Did you have feelings for the first gal?
Was it an extended disease?
