Oregon_Dude Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 My ex and I broke up one month ago. We were together one year. I am picking up the pieces and learning to live as a single guy again. I've gone on two dates, one in which I made the amateur mistake of mentioning my ex (which wasn't negative, just in passing... but lesson learned). The second date was with a girl I just didn't have much in common with. Still, I am kind of enjoying getting out there and meeting different people. Is it too soon? When were you ready? One the one hand, I like getting different perspectives, conversation, drinks, etc... but I am not sure any potential rejection is good for my psyche at this point. Thoughts?
Gaeta Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 There are different types of dating. One month after a break up I don't think it's time to jump into another relationship but it's time to get out and have fun, which mean you can casually date without anything serious in mind. There are plenty of people in your situation looking for the exact same thing, date, go out, have fun, maybe intimacy, but nothing serious.
Author Oregon_Dude Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks. I am definitely not looking for a relationship, mostly good conversation and the simple act of doing new and fun things with cool women.

That's good. It's not easy to go through a break up, often we feel we won't find love again. When we casually date it makes us realize there are plenty of women-men out there with whom we can connect when we're ready again. 1
