Poll: date after breakup ???

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'd say if it was a long relationship, time should be counted in months; in short relationships, maybe two weeks.

 

[Mimssy]

Honestly, however long it takes you to move on. If the next girl is a rebound and nothing more, be upfront and don't lead her on to believe it is something major. I recommend just going on some casual dates with some different people before getting into another relationship.

 

[Bon_Clay]

I voted for 6 mouths just because you spelled month wrong and I find it funny.

As other people said, there are countless other variables and no exact rules to these things.

 

[Paksenarrion]

How about, "Start dating as soon as she finds someone else."

That way, you can one-up her. She's going to think violent nasty thoughts about you anyway, might as well repay the favor, amirite?

 

[ThePizzaGuy556]

Depends on how the whole thing went down. Ive ended up dating again anywhere from the day it happened to 2 months after. The same day thing makes me a douche though

 

[joshthor]

you dump her, or she dump you?

extended:
did she dump you because of another girl? if so, wait a few weeks, if not, go for it whenever.

did you dump her because of another girl? if so go for it immidiately, sure, you will look like a douche, but then again, you are, might as well not hide it

was it a mutual decision? if so, wait a few weeks to a month to be nice

is she already dating? make her jealous by dating someone quickly

 

[godfist88]

when ever you feel you're ready, as soon as your over ex, then go for it.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

You might as well go for it straight away, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Why would you want to waste time and also risk losing a good relationship so that you don't look like a dick to someone that shouldn't really matter too much any more?

 

[Femaref]

There is no rule on that. The only thing stopping you from doing it is yourself. When you get over it, do it. If you do it because you don't want to hurt her - where is the fucking point? You aren't together anymore, if you broke up, you don't care about her anyway, and if she broke up, she doesn't care anyway.

Just do it when you feel comfortable. Also, this is isn't a rational decision, just go by your feelings, you will know when the time has come.

I'll use my gf as an example since I've only ever been with her for any real length of time.

She dated this one guy in middle school but he was boring so they drifted. RIGHT AWAY she started dating again, but they lasted 2 months before she dumped him for trying to pressure her into having sex. Same with the next boyfriend, but they lasted 4 months. She stopped dating for a while, but got witth this guy that was a little older in high school. He was nice and all, but not very affectionate at all and when he went to the Air Force, they drifted apart but she didn't consider it a breakup. Now this is kinda sad but for the best, when he stopped writing altogether she got with me for emotional support. We've been together for...four years now?
So yeah, it's all situational and according to the person's needs. She tried to get out of greedy or empty relationships, but felt like she needed someone, so for her it was hard to leave but if someone came along she'd take the chance.

 

[Peteron]

You have way to large of a time span with very few options. I would say it is okay after a few weeks. By the way, I am unaware how long 6 mouths is time wise.

 

[Chris^^]

so in your guys opinion, how long after a breakup is it okay to date or get a new girlfriend without being a douche???

I'd say as soon as YOU feel ready, it's impossible to generalise about this kind of thing.. it's acceptable to date again as soon as you feel right about it.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

After 3 years I would say 6 months. (From my personal experience I was with my longest girlfriend for a year and when we broke up she slept with another guy after 2 weeks. That fucking hurt).

However, a part of it also depends on who ended it and why?

 

[DefunctTheory]

Generally speaking, its usually a good idea to wait a month or two, at least.

But the answer is: whenever you are sufficiently confident that the break up will have no bearing on your romantic social interactions.

 

[Penguinness]

If you're the one that broke it off and you're likely to be seeing each other again, then wait a while. If you think you'll probably end up back together very soon then wait a while. Otherwise I'm not really sure if you have to wait, but you might enjoy having some alone time before getting another one.

 

[babinro]

Whenever you feel ready to move on as well as the desire to be in a relationship.

This could be immediately, or a long time. In my case it took a little over 6 years before I'd consider going out with someone. I still haven't mind you, but that's because I'm happy being single.

Of course, your question seems to pertain to the perception that other people might have if you were to date after a breakup. I'd imagine the expectation would be at least 3 months for a relationship of that length.
