longlegzs80 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 How do you know when your ready to get back into the dating scene again? I feel like I could handle dating, but in some ways I enjoy being single.
Ssheena Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I've never done the dating thing but my friend just talked me into doing the eharmony thing. I'm not sure if I want to date, heck, it's only been 3 weeks since my year and a half relationship ended. I'm only doing because my friend is bugging me to as I'm happy by myself. Plus, I've been looking at pictures of guys and omg, they look so old! Basically, I have no clue how to know. How long have you been single?

My ex boyfriend is still around and doesn't give up on me, but for me I have been single for 1 year or so. Maybe for you you should consider taking alittle break, and enjoy being by yourself. Especially since it has only been 3 weeks for you. To me that sounds alittle fast, but everyones different.
megnog Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 i once heard however long your relationship was, cut it in half and thats how much time you need to heal. like if you had a year long relationship, you shouldn't date for another six months... but it completely depends on you so i wouldn't write that saying off as perfect if you enjoy being single, be single. and if you meet someone you like and want to see more of them, then see more of them. if you need more time if you just got out of a relationship take as much time as you need

I was married to my ex (second wife) for a little over 5 years... and it took close to two years before I felt able to handle the rigors of dating... Then again, I was reminded every month when I was paying off the mutual debt we accumulated. (Odd how the court felt I should pay it even though she was the one cheating on me.) At any rate, I think it should come down to taking however much time it requires for YOU to feel comfortable for it... it seems to vary from one person to another. I wish for you... to find the happiness you seek.

That's insane! What if someone was married for 30 years and got divorced at age 55. According to your "theory" the person shouldn't date until they hit 70 yrs old. Jesus Christ, they'll be dead by then!
