sentiententity Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Simply as the title asks. Had a pleasant one year relationship that didn't work out due to circumstances. What's a responsible amount of time to wait before getting back out there? Just a ballpark figure.
ambreaux405 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 i think everyone is different. Go by what you feel inside. I just had my 3 and a half year relationship end a few months ago, i am no where near ready to get back out there again. I'm pretty much giving myself a year off, or until I feel like I am completely ready.
sentiententity Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 I FEEL like taking no time off. Being single isn't very fun. But that doesn't seem wise.
Missed Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah it depends on the individual person. You will know when you feel right to get back out there. I had a relationship end mid last year, it was only a short relationship (5 months) and I took the break up very hard (anxiety, therapy). We briefly got back together early this year for a couple of months (but ended relationship early April) But we both saw we were better off as friends and many ways not compatible, especially logistically. I met someone literally a few weeks after that break up. We dated slowely for a few months until July when we officially got together, and haven't looked back since. They say you will meet that special someone when you least expect it, and that was certainly the case for me! (Before the relationship last year I had been single about 4 years with the odd date/fling here and there)
arrrrrfffff Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Sentient, I know you feel alone right now. There is just an empty space that is not filled right now. There are many negative thoughts. Thoughts of what if... I find that of all the people I have dated, I am still in love with all of them because I am happy for them. One is now engaged. And that is fine with me. You will know you have move on, when negative thoughts don't consume you and you have changed for t better. It varies with everyone. It might take you months or a year. Being in a relationship now will just be one of impulse, which will hurt you and him/her. The question you need to ask yourself whether you Two get back together or with someone that truly loved you is, what has changed in you since that breakup. If you have not changed for the better, the time is probably not right.
Ms Darcy Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I FEEL like taking no time off. Being single isn't very fun. But that doesn't seem wise. As long as it takes for you to feel comfortable being single.
