I waited like 3 years after my first (it wasn’t that serious but I was like hm yeah I’ve had enough), 1 or 2 after my second, and then like 7 months after my third but I was actively looking after like 5 months. I also date pretty seriously but it’s usually less about me waiting to be over someone and more that I’m waiting to find someone worth dating.
yeah my last relationship ended in august and i’m still getting over it. i’ve had a couple guys ask me out but i rejected them bc i need to know who i am on my own for a little while. idk if it’s different bc im dating for marriage, but i couldn’t move on that fast even if the guy was perfect. but i have a good friend who dated her ex for 6 years, talked ab getting married to him, and then when they broke up dated a new guy after just a month after saying she didn’t even know if she liked him
yeah for me, i can’t date casually. if im trying to get over someone, i do it by being single and finding myself first and re-evaluating my standards. i’ve learned after my last relationship to think seriously about compatibility and dating goals rather than chemistry. im not sure if im grateful for my last relationship. right now i just feel sad and hurt and abandoned by someone i still really love. but i know next christmas ill be alright. but i can’t get with another person until im recovered
