Everybody's been so helpful with their answers, I figured I'd try this one.
I'm just coming out of a long-term realtionship with a person I loved dearly. The whole thing ended suddenly and unfairly. I'm finding myself in a rotten spot emotionally, so I've decided not to date for a while. My question is: How do I know when I'm ready to start dating again? It just seems like such a crazy proposition right now.

You will know when you are ready, because your heart will tell you that you are. I went through a bad break up myself. I knew when I was ready, because it just felt right, and I was ready to share my life with someone again. How long, just depends on you and on your past situation. If you feel that you are becoming depressed, or find yourself in a rut, dwelling on your past relationship, you may want to consider talking to a counselor or a trusted friend to help you get back on your feet. Don't rush yourself, just take your time, and if you just want companionship in the meantime, be honest about it with whomever you decide to date. Don't deny yourself having fun or spending time with someone, it doesn't mean that you are replacing the one you used to love so dearly, but don't punish the next person who wants to get to know you better, and don't deny yourself the chance to love again. Just take it one day at a time and let your wounds heal. I wish you all the best while you are recovering from your heartbreak.

i think that the time you're ready to start dating again is when you feel confident with yourself again. nothing is letting you down and no heavy burdens from the past. when you feel comfortable of interacting with the opposite gender again, and when you are having fun in your life again. when you fully respect yourself again and when you are not scared to love and care for another person again. when you are all of these things, you are ready for another relationship=) i hope i helped.

You will know when you meet a person you like and want to get to know better. I am sorry to hear of your relationship disaster, but don't let it get you down for too long. A mourning period is normal, but don't let it get you depressed.

When you find yourself too bore with virtually nothing to do but starring at the TV set or the blank wall.

the coping period is different for everyone...give it a few weeks and try dating...if it doesn't feel right then wait some more...and definitely DO NOT settle for the first thing that comes along!!!!!
