Guest Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I got out of a relationship 2 years ago and haven't wanted to date at all. I feel like this is the wrong thing to do but I just have no desire to date. I also feel that even if I do date again, I will be judged as having something wrong with me because I haven't dated anyone in 2 years. I need some advice.
kitten chick Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Good question. I want to hear some responses on this one if anyone has it. My situation is fairly similar.
jerbear Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 For me, it takes at least 3 months to get over a breakup, pretty much no relationship, no contact and be a hermit. After 3 months, see if my feelings are as strong. Sometimes for me as bad as it sound requires a casual / rebound / transitional relationship to kill off the old feelings.
PeanutHead88 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 3 months? thats crazy sersiouly I wish I was that lucky? It's been almost a year for me and I am still afraid to feel the pain??

I dont think there is a set time on when you can start dating. I would recommend you start dating when you feel ready. Ive dated people who havent dated in years and I find this quality attractive. They will have less of a chance of having issues or hurting other people because they took the time to heal and recover from heartbreak.
Whitt Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I agree with frogkisser - date when you feel ready. Right now you have the oppotunity to fully explore you. Its good and healthy to want and be able to be on your own. When you are ready to date again you will have a lot more to offer somebody else.
Brittanyjean06 Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 The best thing to do after a break up, is to make new friends! not to date other people, you are not ready for that, but your always ready for new friends! they help the most!
