How long after breakup did you start dating again ?

[lilyrayne]

Just that really , how long after relationship ended did you want to start dating again ? When did you feel you were ready too. Like online dating or friends who wanted to take you out on a date ?
I am not currently dating but I might in the future, I also would be very very fussy now about a partner that I would get involved with my child xxx

Everyone's different, obviously, but I waited about 5 months before getting on tinder to find something casual. I was looking for a fwb at that point but on the 6th date I really clicked with someone and it turned into a full on relationship pretty quickly.
We waited 6 months before introducing our kids after that. So far it's all worked out really well. We've done a few joint outings and two joint holidays and have managed to balance everyone's needs (most of the time).

It depends a lot on how long your relationship was dead before the split.

ExH and I moved on very quickly, less than a year after the split he was living with his current partner and I was in a serious relationship, but then we should have split years before we did.

Second time around about a year, the important thing is to get the traumas and resentments of the previous relationship dealt with before starting again, otherwise they do not allow you to relax and trust again.

For me it was too soon - 3 months. I’ve seen people dump someone Monday and start dating the next day, people they’ve professed to love. I find that very odd but maybe it’s a part of some sort of codependency.

for me it’s been 3years and still haven’t . Everyone seems to move on so quick and I don’t know how they do it. (Not a judgement) I haven’t dated anyone at all and d probably won’t for the foreseeable
