Yount19 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Hey all, I very recently got out of a six month relationship with my ex-gf. It was officially ended (by mutual agreement) about a week ago, although I saw it coming for at least a month: we began drifting apart, stopped going out and doing the kind of things we used to, eventually ran into some pretty big differences in opinion, and decided it better to end on good terms now than to possibility hate each other further on down the road. Now I feel so much better than I have in the past few months. I've been doing things that I wouldn't still be doing if I was still in the relationship. In short, I feel a heckuva lot better than I expected at this point. Which brings me to my point: I'm excited with the idea of dating again and getting to know some new people, but I almost feel like there should be a moratorium placed on that kind of thing. Like, if I jumped right back into things that would be a disservice to my ex and the good times we had together. Does that make sense? Am I being too nostalgic? On the other hand, I'm the kind of person would feels that the best thing you can do with the past is just learn from it, and not to get over-ly emotional about things that are out of your control. I made mistakes in this last relationship, I'm ready to take what I learned and see what other opportunities life has to offer. I don't want to sit back and let life slip by. So, when is soon too soon? It is alright to jump right back in the saddle, or does that make guys just look like uncaring jerks?
borelandkaren Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Everyone's different. My brother told me when I was 16, "If it feels good, do it." And he was right. Good luck and do what feels right for YOU!

You are allowed to jump right back in - especially after a 6 month relationship - just make a point not to be where you might see the ex when you are w/ someone else for a while - otherwise you'll seem like an uncaring jerk
