Well ya have to start somewhere, but be aware that most relationships that begin soon after a break up are rebound relationships and are seldom successful. Just be careful try not to get hurt, but also try not to hurt the new person also.

There is no right or wrong answer here. If you feel that it is time to go out on some dates and get to know someone else than go for it. Liking someone is not a crime and being human means that these things really have no time restrictions. Life is short and you should enjoy it while it is here. Besides sometimes going out with someone else helps you with the healing process. I mean they don't call it the rebound relationship for nothing. Sometimes they can be worthwhile. I started a new relationship just a week after breaking up with a long time boyfriend. We had even discussed getting married but than he turned out to be someone I didn't even know any more. I found a great guy that I liked a few days later and we went out after a few days of talking and now I have been happily married to him for over a year and getting ready to have a baby in a few months. Life is what you make it so enjoy it.

Yes, it's too soon. You need to process what went wrong in the 5-year relationship, and what part you contributed in the breakup. Right now you have a big hole in your soul where that other person was. You're wanting to fill it with another person. That seldom works. Even though it feels like you do, you won't really have anything to bring to the table of a new relationship until you yourself are once again a whole person. You won't be whole until you heal. Healing takes time; more than 2 weeks.

Depends on how long ago the relationships was actually over. You can be with someone but not really be in a relationship. I suspect that if you found someone in two weeks the relationship has been over for a long time.

Yes because you haven't really given yourself time to heal. However, if you feel the need to have someone there with/for you, just keep it as a friendship. And if things grow after a while and you guys are good and happy, go for it.
Right now, you're probably just not used to the autonomy.

Well if it is over, then there is no reason to stay home. If there is a chance that it can work out, then no I wouldn't. 5 yrs. is a long time to invest in a relationship to have it be gone. Only you know for sure what is in your heart, and if it is worth trying to fix.

It depends on how you feel. If you feel it's fine then go ahead. If you feel you're carrying some extra baggage from the previous relationship then slow down. The time doesn't matter. Relationships are about feelings not about time.

Everyone rebounds differently, I'm divorced after 31 years of marriage and for now will not a guy in my life, for me it's way to soon, guys will suck the life out of you, just my thoughts here.

A friendship is the way to go if you were in love...Give yourself time to think and heal old wounds and scars of the last relationship...
