It is a good idea to give yourself some space and time to think about the relationship that just ended - what was good about it - what wasn't so good. What you did that was right - and what things you can improve on. You don't want to make the same mistakes over and over do you? Make sure you understand the reasons behind the ending of the last relationship. There is no time limit on this process - you will know when you are truly ready to start dating again.

Unless you're dating a different guy every week, it really shouldn't matter. I mean, the main reason we do get reputations as ***** are because they are constantly seen with another guy. So don't go out with someone else if you're only trying to make your ex jealous, or are trying to get over them. This is not OK and playing games is immature and often hurtful. But besides that, if you're OK with your relationship style, you've moved on, and you feel comfortable meeting new people, it's all up to you. After all, that's what it's all about! And it's not like there's some sort of contract you sign when you start dating that tells you when you're allowed to date another person. Have fun!!!
Good luck!!!

Long enough to dump the emotional baggage from the last relationship. Also you want to give yourself enough time to get to know "you" again and what you want out of a relationship and not settle for anything less. Start by making a list of what was missing from the last relationship that is important to you in a future relationship. Do not compremise; get what you need and give what is needed as well. You both should be willing to give 100% to the relationship not 50-50.

there is no "law" if you break up with someone there is a reason! I think you should be able to be with anyone you want once you break the deal with the new EX! Only time I think an instant relationship is wrong is after your partner is dead. then 6 months to 1 year is the least amount of time to wait

It depends. Do you still think about your ex. Do you miss him inside. Do you find yourself constantly talking/thinking about him? Did you break it off or did he? Do you still love him? there is no universal rule of dating and breaking up time periods. The question is: Do you feel ready to start a new relationship? In my opinion, If you have no feelings for your ex and feel emotionally ready, then go for it. Just dont go for any guy. Dont make the same misstake twice. Take your time.

It depends on the reason for the break up and how long you were together. I'd say if you can keep it a secret from him for a while, just to respect his feelings, you can certainly go out right away.

immediately! Just because you break up with someone doesn't mean you are in mourning! You breaking up with this person must mean that you had some disturbances about the relationship that you had. So live life to the fullest and have fun be free!

As soon as you feel Ready. Theres always 5 Things I ask myself before getting into dating . 1) Do I still have feelings for my Ex? 2) Does my Ex still have feelings for me? 3) If there were hurt feelings are they healed?( because otherwise they could come up it a new relationship) 4) Do I feel confident to approach and be approached? 5) Do I want to be in a relationship(would it be suitable for your life right now) Hope this helps!

Depends on how long you went out with them. I'd say a good rule of thumb is a week for every year you went out. If it's been less than a year just give it a few days.

As soon as you feel like taking up with someone else. It is not like the death of a spouse and respect full mourning period for the deceased being a requirement for decency! You are dating, there is no requirement but the ones you yourself feel you need.
