Sounds like she may be going through a confusing time right now.  You should use your best judgement in terms of whether she seems like she has fully resolved her feelings about her pst relationship.  If things seemed settled than go for it you never know this may be what destiny has in store for you both.

Don't wait forever. Move on... If you were together for a couple of years it might take you while to get over it.

Depends on the reason you broke up.  Was it a bad break up?  Did one of you betray the other and/or the relationship?  Were there trust issues?  What will be different this time?  Do you love him/her?  Do you WANT to be in a relationship with him/her?  Was too little information for such a broad question.

If it was a serious relationship involving love, there is no true time limit. It all depends on when your ready. I would say six months. You never know, but if you try going out and it doesnt feel right. You would know that means your not ready.

I wait until I won't regret it at all.  Even if my body says otherwise.  I wait until I'm positive that if he dumped me the next day - I wouldn't feel disappointed about the sex. (Feelings are a separate issue.)\n\nWith each guy it's different.  For some guys it's weeks, others it's months.  But I always feel right when I do it.  Take your time, and wait until you know you're confident about it.

You should wait 1/3 of the relationship.\n\nSay you went out for 3 months. So, you should wait one month before dating again.\n\nCommon trick- not too fast, not too slow.

Well that all depends on how long yall have been apart because of him needing space. If it has been longer than a month then I would say cut him loose. It shouldn't take him that long to figure out what he wants. Don't sit around and wait on him cause that's all he wants you to do. Also if you are not in love with him, then why are you with him in the first place. I have come to find out that relationship's don't work out if you just love the person and not in love with them.

I think it depends on how long he was your boyfriend. A long term relationship breakup takes longer because usually the other person has strong feelings for you and needs more time to get their head around it.\n\nIf you didn't date for long then it shouldn't take as much time, since you'll just get it over with and move on.\n\nIf he is really someone you care about but not in that way anymore, maybe he deserves to know why. It can be useful for the guy to know why this is happening, especially if it was his fault, because in that way he can learn from his mistakes and try harder the next time he's in a relationship.\n\nI think the time depends on each relationship. It took yours 3 hours to be over because you have an ex boyfriend that loves to point out flaws; you said so yourself: " i finally told him to leave because i was sick of hearing all my supposed faults". \n\nI don't think you were rude. I think nothing good could have come out of listening to him. You sound patient enough to me! Good luck, and don't fret about it!

i thought my world ended when i broke with my boyfriend. but  i stood up, got a haircut, bought nice clothes, went into graduate school, met other people. its been six years after the breakup and here i am, living witness that there is still life after  a failed relationship.  it only takes a good outlook in life friend.

take your time to heal. Don't call him. If you feel the urge to call him take it 1 day at a time( like an addiction). Occupy your time with something else. If you are sitting around and not doing anything you will start to think about him. It is good that you ended it now, because if you would have waited it would hurt more than now. Tell yourself that it is over and you two will never be together again. Look at breaking up like this; you are now one step closer to finding the one you are meant to be with.

Are you sure you want to break up with her. Sometimes we think we want more without knowing what we want. ask for a cooling down period. See how both of you really feel. Just go it without for 2 weeks. If by then you don't miss her. then nothing is lost. and finalizing the break up is easier since she's gotten use to the idea. \n\n I've had guys break up with me and then try to get back together a couple of weeks later. but it depends on how we broke up. That's why I'm suggesting you ask for some time apart.

First, wait until you're over the first girl.  Then start seeing people when you feel that you're ready.  No need to start a relationship again, just date.  That way you can find out if you want to be in another relationship or just play the field.  Could take weeks, months, maybe even a year.  All up to you.  Just make sure you're over the previous relationship.

Yes, you should take some time, even if you don't think you need it, to reevaluate yourself, your feelings about the world and relationships.  If anything, just to make sure you will be okay, and not have a bad after effect later than expected.  You know, to make sure you still know you.  Relationships change people, even if they don't see it, so it is best to just relax, take a break, and make sure you are totally comfortable to go back into dating before you try again.  If you are not sure, just wait, it is likely you are feeling some subconcious doubt, and that will hurt your chances of a good experience.  You will want to give a new partner what they deserve, and you have to be confident and sure to really give it your all.

Well just wait a while and make sure that you are ready to date some one new because you never know what could happen and getting into a relationship even though you know that you still have feelings for your ex.. isnt the perfect way 2 start a new relationship. wait a few days see if you still want your ex back if u do talk to your ex and try 2 work something out.... it worked for me and we've been dating for two weeks now (yea i know not 2 long lol) but my advice sweetie is just 2 wait dont rush your self it aint necessary :-)

it takes a long while to get over someone especially if that was your first.  take your time.  cry all you want.  let it all out.  some people might tell you to try and surround yourself with friends and family.  it might cheer you up, but i think it's okay to feel down for a while.  because no matter what you'd do, you might think about your ex like what did you do, what could you have done, or why your ex left you.   i really do not think it's better to suppress or cover up your feelings by having your mind occupied with something else.  but it's better if you get rid of anything that would remind you of your ex, and if you cut off all the communication means to your ex such as phone number, e-mail, and IM.  delete them all, so you wouldn't be able to talk to him at all.  also, i don't think that finding someone new too soon is such a good idea.  rebound is only rebound.  just think that it's not the end of the world although it feels like it right now.  just take your time and rest up.
