You really shouldn't jump into a new relationship after a break up. You should get your life back together so you are ready for the next step. You never know what is going to happen and if you are going to be ready for it.

Not necessarily. It will usually end up being a vulnerable, rebound relationship and you will find out you really didn't feel as strongly as you thought you did about the new person. (speaking from past experience) However, if it wasn't a long relationship, you are probably ok. Are you a teenager that had a crush, or an adult that just split up from a long relationship? That may make the difference too. My experience was after a 7 year marriage that went bad.

Most people will probably just say NO right off the bat... but I say DEPENDS... because there are several things to consider.
1. How attached were you to your last boyfriend?
2. Did you dump him or did he dump you?
3. How clingy/needy to you feel right now? Do you like spending time alone?
If you were the one dumped, you probably shouldn't jump into a new relationship... but date casually or just have some fun without committments for the long term.
If you moved on from the old relationship... enjoy time to yourself and generally feel good about where you are, and this new person is one that you could really see yourself with... take it slow... and see...
Thats what i did. I left my ex and got into a new relationship right away... EVERYONE said you are dumb... but my closest friends who know me well and my trusty gut instincts have all been right on so far... its been a year and I am happier than ever.

Normally I would say no but my previous relationship was horrible it lasted 8 mos thought I'd never get over him... then I met this really great guy... we dated for about 2yrs and now he and I are married and it was the best thing I had only been broke up with the previous guy 3 mos before I met my husband. So to answer sometimes it's the best thing for you...sometimes it's not. Like say you go from one bad relationship to another its not a good idea. It's always good to be alone for a while too.

No I'd give your self time. Be single anddate whoever you want. Wait until you find another person to actually start a relationship with. WHen you jump rite into another your carry all your feeling from the last to the next and more then likely it wont last.

... well it depends, since u have not mentioned about how long have u 2 been together, did u really had feelings for the other person etc. let us just assume that u totally made up ur mind & not planning on getting back with him, then why wait if u have not decided on becoming a nun? just move on with ur life, & sometimes jumping into other relationship does help, coz' it saves u from all the loneliness & depression period after a break up, as u'll have other things to concentrate on & shake out the stressy feelings with excitment(like lookin good to ur new date etc.)

NO! You need time to give your emotions a rest! Why get yourself mixed up with someone else, later to find out that your heart is still with that person you split from. Too much pain and frustration come as a result of that!

NO! that is called a rebound, someone you date just to get your mind off the last relationship.unfair to both the rebound, and to yourself.unless you want to be addicted to relationships and uncapable to self-sustain, go right ahead.but the wise move is to let some time pass, depending on the length of the last relationship, and then get involved in a new one.can you stand being alone?can you look yourself in the mirror and be satisfied of yourself?if it's just you in the dark...are you afraid?know yourself.and do not give in to weakness.

take some time to think about why you split and learn from it. If you rush into another relationship to fast you will generally be splitting again, you were in too much of a hurry .

Some people say to wait before you jump because it's considered rebound. But if you see someone you like and they like you, go for it!! Plus it helps with the hurt of getting over the ex.
