How long


Question Posted Tuesday June 28 2005, 5:17 am

how long after a break up should you wait before the next chase? I mean like... looking around for new people... if the relationship you've just come out of wasn't that serious... but I don't want to hurt his feelings by jumping straight back in... :S

I say go when your ready! But I would at least wait a day or so to cool myself down and recognize my feelings about my ex and other people. And if you want revenge, haha do it as soon as you can.

If it wasn't that serious just go for it, since you broke up try to get him out of your system and just live life. You shouldn't worry about his feelings after its over, if you are really concerned about them I would wait 1-2 weeks.

If it wasn't that serious of a relationship I don't think that you would have to wait that long before being involved with someone else. Though if you have a heart I would wait at least a month before being involved with different people because you still want be considerate to your ex's feelings.


I hope I helped!

ARe you ALWAYS gonna live YOUR life for SOMEONE ELSE???

WHO CARES when HE's Ready for YOU to pick up anotheR Relationship!!!!! I undeRstand you don't want to huRt his feelings.. but TOO BAD! It's NOT his decision to make!! It's YOURS!!!

WheneveR YOU feel YOU'VE found the Right guy, you should be faiR to YOURSELF and give it a chance. You can't push something away that might tuRn out to be TRULY gReat just to spaRe SOMEONE ELSE'S feelings. It's YOUR life... you need to do what's best foR YOU.. you need to do what makes YOU happy!!

Think about it?
I wish you the best!

XSugarPieX77 answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 12:27 pm:
I would wait about a 2 weeks to a month. Even if you like a guy and want to go out with him earlier then that it would be kind to the person you broke up with to wait.... Theres a girl in my grade and she has a bf and after she brakes up with him less then a week she has a new one, i mean what would you think about that. Its kinda messed up. ya know?

X0C0URT answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 12:24 pm:
It's really nice of you that you care about your ex's feelings. But if it wasn't a serious relationship, I think it's fine to jump back into the dating pool whenever you feel ready. Now that you aren't together, you can't worry about him too much now. If you want a number, I'd say 1-2 weeks? That was there's time for the dust to settle and any bitter feelings will probably gone. Plus by this time you've both have time to move on. But like I said, whenever you think you're ready for another guy, go for it.

MartiniKisses23 answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 12:23 pm:
I think you should wait like..at least a week so he can get his thoughts straight out, as well as you should too. Dont just into anything too quick unless you know who you are "going for," and if they like you because that could just end up in a short relationship. I hope I helped! ♥ Andie

You shouldn't skip out on opportunities for new relationships because of an ex.

It's nice that you don't want to hurt his feelings, but that is no reason to put yourself at a disadvantage. You shouldn't rub it in his face, but if he is a decent guy, then he will not try to hinder your life, or future relationships even if he is hurt by them.

I say go for it. He may be hurt, but that's part of life and he'll have to get used to it.

Teza answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 11:37 am:
If you are completly over him then go for it. I would wait a week or two.. not too long if it wasnt a serious relationship. So 1-2 weeks is defenetlly enough. ♥// ex_oh

passionate answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 11:06 am:
My rule is: I'm over him and I don't have to worry about what he thinks if I jump back in. So just ask yourself that question: Am I over him so much that I don't care what he thinks if I jump back in? But if you took the "just friends" route out of being his girlfriend and it hurts his feelings just say: I'm sorry, but we are not together anymore and I am not your property, I can make good decisions without you. (Or something like that)

I hope I helped!

IAmShammay answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 10:45 am:
if you dated him for like a month, i would say 2 weeks would be okay. if it was really serious( like a few months or so), shoot for a month or two.
it's your choice. if you find a really good person, then just go for it. good luck.

S_C answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 9:54 am:
Depends how long the two of you were dating. If you were dating for a month, just wait two weeks, if you were dating for 3 months, I'd saw wait 3-4 weeks.
Possibly however many months you were dating, is how many weeks you should wait. If you were dating less than a month, 2 weeks is a perfectly fine time to way.
But you should always wait AT LEAST 2 weeks. Unless the two of you dated for less than a week, then one week is good enough, but that hardly ever happens.

AnonymousAdviceGiver answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 9:21 am:
One half of how long the relationship was, however in many cases a quarter of how long it was is acceptable. I'm guessing a quarter would be acceptable in your situation since it wasn't serious. As long as you don't pull a Tom Cruise and/or aren't all over this guy guy in front of your ex, he shouldn't be too hurt.

cokecap_x21 answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 9:20 am:
I'd say 2-3 weeks,because people need to get the news that you broke up,talk about it for a little,then they'll forget. And NOT 1 week because people will be like "oh my gosh she never liked him that must have really hurt his feelings how mean is that?"[[they also might not even care though..]] if it wasnt serious then he probably isnt sad over it...unless he was obbsessed with you,then you have to stay awayy from him!
bUt yes 2-3 weeks.

hope i helped!
