It depends on the individual. The grieving period varies on the person. The best person to answer that is the person himself. Some people take a long time to get over a relationship, others feel that they need to get back into the social world again as a part of the recovery process.
If you are thinking of dating this man, just remember to take things slow and not to quickly jump into "relationship mode". He may feel like he is not totally whole without being with someone so he may invest his energy into pursuing this relationship. Take time to get to know each other and see how things work out.
Good Luck.

I say no. Give yourself time to heal. Take some time to reflect on your past. Cry it out if you have to. I think it is unfair for people to go into new relationships with baggage. Its not fair to have subliminal feelings for your ex while you are with someone new. The old saying, "Cant nothing help you get over your old love like a new love" is a myth. Make sure you are totally over it and you have taken time to reflect on what you seek in partner and what you have to offer.
Good luck =)

My answer is no. although my relationship (marriage) lasted 17 yrs...I know that one holds on to the relationship...various reasons and such...mine is that we have kids together..and that keeps us communicating. She is remarried..me..still single with one of the kids living with me.
I have atempted dating...and it was just that dating...I didn't let go until recently (2 yrs later) and now find myself able to talk to other women with out feeling that I'm cheating. 4 yrs or 20 yrs...you don't forget and you need to get on in your own time...so I'd say this in a short sentence. If he still talks about her...let him sit and get over it...if you don't...you will hear about her on almost a daily basis...and that's not good.
don't be the woman of his rebound period it won't work ...and you are hearing this from a man...not a woman...so it's just my opinion and that's all.

My honey, I was engaged, and into the last month HE was the one that wanted to get married, we got into an arguement and then he wanted to split up.. 2 weeks later, he had seen someone else on a 'business trip' and then another, and another and another.. It just literally blew me away, I never knew the man I loved could even be capable of doing this, but he did. And rubbed it in.

That's not for you to worry about. Males do not wait and let time pass them by like females do. Only time will tell about his situation. It is good for him have someone to spend time with and show him what a good relationship is.

HELL NO HE'S NOT READY! DON'T BE HIS REBOUND! Be his friend if he is worth it to you, and wait it out, but I would say it will take him atleast a year, if not longer to get over it. A good indicator that he is over it for real, is when he is no longer talking about his ex, or bringing her up in casual convo. either.

negative. he shouldn't even think about getting into another relationship. he needs time to breathe. if he does get into another relationship, its just a rebound and it wont last.

Ummm I would say no...depends tho, do you still think alot about the person you broke up with? If you do...then definitely NO! If you decide to find someone, go slow....REALLY slow!
