athiria Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 After one has been dumped, when are one ready to start dating again?
ktya Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 That really depends on where you are in the breakup. If you were totally into your now ex, and are still somewhat in shock and secretly hoping that they will get back together with you, then you are not really ready to start dating with intent. A few flings, one night stands or short term relationships based on sex might be helpful but to date someone with the intent of looking for a long term partner would be a bad idea. Now if you have no real feelings for the person that dumped you, or you are completely cool with it being over, then you are perhaps ready for dating with intent. Just try to take things slow don't try to replace your ex with a rebound. In my case my ex dumped me and moved out it was the last straw. The relationship was dead for months and she was driving me insane. We were keeping it together for the sake of her kid so when she left while I was upset the next morning I was tremendously happy and was out hitting on girls like a madman, I felt like a kid in a candy store. In a previous breakup (my ex fiancée) I tried jumping right into dating to get over the breakup and it was a really bad idea. I ended up being taken advantage of by a few really horrific women and had my own custom version of a Jerry Springer episode sprung on me. Really depends where you're at with the breakup. If your trying to get over it sex with other people can help, as they say the best way to get out of a relationship is to get under someone else. But if its sex for that reason keep it to sex only.
keepontruckin Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I remain bitter, and hopefully always will. This ensures that I will not let another female chameleon into my life. This ensures no troubles. This ensures peace of mind. I only make mistakes like this once in my life. I will not do it again.
