how soon can you fall for someone else after breakup?

Well, I REALLY like this guy I met 4 months after a horrible breakup with BF of 3 years. Everyone says, Oh, don't go too fast! Better be careful, etc. I have found myself daydreaming about this guy, who also got dumped by GF of 4 years. We're both middle aged here, too, mind you. Advice?

If the right man came along 10 minutes after a breakup that had good closure I would be ready. It's the lack of closure that makes it drag on.

I don't think that there's a specific time frame for falling for someone. If you have the chemistry and the relationship seems right, go with your feelings.

I say go for it.

As long as you've closed that part of your life (after the break up), one week versus one year doesn't make a difference.
