How long to wait before I start dating again?

OK me and my gf of 2.5 yrs and fiance of 1 just broke up yesterday.
I’m finding that I have mixed emotions on when I want to start pursuing other women.
On the one hand there are a few girls that I am very interested in and could see having a relationship with, on the other this was a really tough break-up and I don’t want to put an innocent bystander’s feelings in jeopardy because I started dating too early.

whenever u feel ready
when you know for SURE that you are ready to start dating again.
this isn’t a question anyone else can answer for you
good luck =)
if you are sure its totally over and there is no chance you want to get back with your ex again . You dont have to wait to start dating again .But you just broke you yesterday .Might give it some time and see where things are going with your ex before you take the plunge .
Listen man dont put pressure on yourself. dont even worry about dating. just talk to girls that you are interested in, flirt or do whatever you want with them or you can even hold off the cicks for a while abd when you dod meet the right girl you wouldnt have mxed emotion. You would just know it.
well if you have only broke up with someone that you have been with for over three years one day ago then you should wait a couple of months before you start dating again
humans tend to want to maintain the same feelings they felt in a serious relationship as soon as it ends as a way to prevent the psychological pain
but all your really doing is projecting the feelings you had for your ex onto someone else when really you have no feelings for this new person at all
and once you come to realize that, you will have hurt her and then you will be back at square one dealing with two failed relationships instead of one
so the appropriate thing to do is to just take some you time so you can grief if need be and every time you feel like going out with someone new, be sure to ask your self honestly if your ready and if you actually see anything in this new person
there is no time limit or a date schedule on when you should start dating.
i think it should be when your emotion is finally calm where you are back to sober in your own life and you know where you stand then i guess its alright to start dating again.
since you just broken up you need healings not only you but the environment around you so you dont keep having all these bad mixed emotion.
life maybe short but you will get to live the fullest! no worries.
You just broke up yesterday, I think you have some time to think about it. Wait a bit, like 2 months, even just for appearances. Sometimes when you are ready to break up officially, you have been over this relationship for a while, so you may be ready to move on sooner rather than later. Give yourself time to heal and give it enough time that your ex doesn’t feel like you never loved her.
Definitely take it a bit slow for sure, but don’t get too caught up in the past. Even if you don’t meet anyone, you can’t dwell on your past relationship if it’s really over. This a time for introspection, a time to take away lessons. That’s all life is, a bunch of lessons. We just keep trying to get it right and if we stick with it, than our hopes will come to fruition.
What did you learn about yourself and life in your last relationship? What are you looking for out of a relationship? Who are you? This is a great time to explore these questions while you have the time to think a bit.
We should always keep trying, but we should also learn from our past. When you feel you’ve grown and are ready to date again (even if it means another possible bake up), than get out there. Only you can answer that.
Hey there. Going from experience I would say definitely wait until things settle. You have just come out of a huge relationship and you’re absolutely right, jumping into another relationship so soon wouldn’t be the best idea. You need time yourself to get a hold of things. You may seem ok now, but you may find that in a couple of days or a weeks emotions will come like a wave. Just chill out. Enjoy the single life. Maybe if you like someone else, let them know but also let them know your situation so they exactly where they stand. But at the end of the day, only you will truly know when the time is right for you.
Give yourself time…..don’t date while you’re still on the rebound.
Its not fair to you or to the girl, if you wake up one day and realize you’re really not that interested in her and you only dated her numb the pain of your breakup.
Take your time getting back into the dating scene.
