If you've ended a relationship (I ended one a fortnight ago because he didn't want to get married, together several years, no kids).
There's somebody I like, haven't been looking but met him unexpectedly. Haven't heard a word from my ex really but he understood why I ended it.
I'm still hurting obviously, but in the past it could take me many months if not years to get over someone, the only way I ever truly got over people was by developing feelings for someone else.
On the other hand I don't like the thought of jumping straight from one thing to another, as the other person may think they're just a rebound thing and it also feels disrespectful to an ex (even if they didn't want to commit etc.)
Just wondered what a 'reasonable' time frame is to move on? I've no idea when I'll be fully over my ex tbh. I'm also of an age where I can't leave it too many years if I want children.
