I am almost to the point of giving up on dating/finding a decent guy who will love and respect me because of the crappy relationships I've been in. I am currently in between relationships/dating and am willing to give it another chance. How long of "single time" do I need to really clear my head before going back into the dating scene again?

if you have had some crappy relationships then maybe it is time to be alone for a couple of months to learn about yourself and start to enjoy your own company and that of your family and friends. don't force a relationship but let it come to you when you are ready. then start going out with some different guys casually after like a month or two and see what type of a guy you like that will treat you well. good luck.

It depends on you really. In my opinion what you should do isn't to go right out there and find a guy right away, dating isn't as important as society makes it out to be. Wait for a guy to show up and if you really truely like him you'll know, when you think you found the right guy step back and say "wait a minute, am I ready to live the rest of my life with him?" If the answer is no, which is what most people would answer, then don't waste your time.

As long as it takes you. I just finished with a 8 year relationship and I think I will at least take a year before I start back at it. I do not want to rush and I do not think you should rush. When you are good and ready you will know and you can go from there.

Until you are at the point where you can sit home by yourself at night and not feel like you are missing out on something by not being out on a date and/or out on the town looking for guys. When you dont feel like you "need" to be in a relationship, you are actually ready (emotionally) to give it your all.

It varies from person to person. It also depends on how deeply invested you were in your last relationship. I waited 6 months before starting a new serious relationship, but I started dating a month after we broke up.

I think you'll know when you're ready. Maybe just wait for someone to "come along" instead of actively persuing dating. Just for awhile.
Hope you meet some better prospects next time. It's a jungle out there.

take as much time as you need and just figure out what you really want in life, and in a relationship and then when your ready to try out the dating thing again go for it and have fun with it. good luck!
