Your decision to start dating now or not should not be about your ex at all. You should not avoid dating because of his feelings, and you should not start dating because he "didnt wait."

Your decision to start dating or not should be based on one thing. Your state of readiness. Are you over him? If so, begin dating. If not, give yourself some time.

Here are some things I would like you to consider;

1) Most of your post about whether or not you should date involved your ex.

2) You said you got mad about him dating.

3)You were willing to hold off on dating to spare his feelings.

4) Your motivation to date now seems to be "payback" towards him.


All of these things make it seem as if you arent really over him. Give yourself some time. You need time to reflect about what went wrong in that relationship, what he did wrong, and maybe what you did wrong as well. Mistakes are fine, we all make them, but we need to learn from them. It is very hard to learn from our failed relationships if we dont give ourselves time to heal and think about them clearly once the emotions have settled.

I honestly dont think you are ready yet, and I think for your OWN sake you should wait.

Its best to move on from a sucky relationship so you can find someone new and dont decide before you meet someone that you dont want a relationship with them be open and just go with the flo what i mean is get out there and date and if you like someone and think you will be happy and he wants a relationship then just go with it who knows it could work out dont be scared to try again and again with relationships because eventually you will meet the right person. As for your question on sweet things to say to a guy just tell him hes sweet and compliment him throughout your date and just be really nice. And you are definitely doing the right thing. Good luck :D
