How quickly is right to move on

I've just come out of "something" I'm going to call it. After lies and a pure evil man it's only been less than a week.

My heart and head just isn't in anything and I certainly can't do one night stands. I'm just not like that.

But my friends are telling me to get on online dating and also a man I know has asked me out on a date.

I don't want to go, I still hurt. But friends are suggesting it will do me good.

What's your thoughts on it?

A lot of people seem to think "rebound" is important so from that school of thought getting back out there is important

I think it's more important to work on yourself and give yourself time to heal personally

But nobody can decide what's right for you

@AngelaStorm73 I would feel awful on the man as my heart wasn't in it. It would feel that I used him in some way.

I do hear my friends point, that I need to feel good about myself again and sometimes just chatting with men on line or having one date means nothing these days.

You will know when you are ready. Take care x

As long as you don't take the ex back given the circumstance.

You'll definitely know when it's the right time to move on. Are you mentally ready to date, even though it means nothing?

I'd rather you hung out with your friends and family as they're the support you need right now, whilst giving yourself time to find you.

@MumsyJ he tried to call me today but I ignored him

Not any chance I would take him back, I don't tolerate lies on any level. Even if he begged me I wouldn't take him back.

But that doesn't stop me feeling gutted somehow. I just don't think I could sit with a man and be all nice. I'd just think how he's not him. (Stupid I know)

You'll be just fine, it's only a matter of time. X
