long enough to be sure that you are absolutely compatible, it's not a matter of time... and a breakup on the way is not important as long as it helped you to get  to know and understand each other better. Take your time, it's a life-long commitment...good luck

Depends on how long the relationship was.  If it was more than a year, I'd give it a year.  If it was less, I'd give it proportionately less, down to a month.  \n\nTime heals all wounds.  Just allow it to heal you and don't get bitter.

I am a single mom and have bascially been single, minus a few not-so-serious relationships, now for seven years. I've gone through periods when I've seriously been looking for someone to settle down with and  times when I've been desperately lonely but hadn't the energy to try again. \n\nThe one thing I HAVE learned over the past few years of dating and not dating, is not to ever settle for less than what you deserve. It may mean that you may go through years of being alone but I truly believe it is much better to be alone than with someone who is not right for you. \n\nDepending on your situation, I think the possiblities of where and how to meet a potential boyfriend are endless. Start spending time on yourself. Go places that interest you.....put yourself out there.......everywhere, with and without your child(ren). Chances are that if you meet this person at a museum or maybe a through other family members, other than the bar scene, you'll have more in common. \n\nDon't  dwell on the fact that you're single; sometimes it shows and you may look a little desperate and then definately will attract the wrong type of guy who could possibly be an oportunist looking for his next prey. When you start doing more just for you and your family you WILL start to feel better about yourself and your situation. It is this positivity that most definately attract the right type of people and soon enough you will realize that being alone isn't a curse and THAT"S when Mr Right is bound to step in and like you for who you are.

I would say 5-10 years. Maybe longer. People change and develope around eachother. It may have alot to do with how stable of a personality you have. \n\nWhy, how much time have you got?

Depending on how old you are. If you're teenagers, it should be 2-3 years, if you're 21 or older, then about ten years apart is still good. If your age ranges even farther apart than that then you should stop. Just stop.

It depends on the day of the week, the time of month or if your close to valentines or christmas etc.\nBeing single is ok, I am completely independant, am not answerable to anyone and very rarely disappointed.\nBut that doesn't stop me feeling lonely when I'm sat in on my own, sadly answering question after question on here... \nI think it would be nice to find companionship, but then I meet someone and before it develops into a relationship it gets all heavy or complicated and think I can do without the hassle.. \nI have plenty of friends and will keep it that way until someone totally special comes my way.\nNot getting into something on the premise I am lonely, if I did that, I could let any kind of scumbag into my life, and they would probably leave it just as quickly having stripped me of my confidence. I am not prepared to let that happen.

Take some time to know yourself...and let time to it's thing. Go out with friends and just enjoy being single. Sometimes we need time for ourselves to start another relationship. It is tough but all you can do is learn from it and move on.

Look, there are only 2 things you should do right now. Either stay single, or go find someone else. I myself like some time alone to retrace my steps from when I was last single, and see what I was into. But I sometimes also like to mingle, chat, and flirt with new people to get a feel for them, and see if I like what I find. But none the less, you should go with what you feel, not what me, tom, or who ever tells you. Listen to your heart girl, and don't 2nd guess it!!!!!

When you feel the time is right to move then go ahead and do so. If you don't feel ready then take some time for your self. Remember you can always find someone better and you did not have him in your life when you met him so you don't need him now.

keep tryng but be careful. If you still can't find someone good, then be prepared to be single.

Take time for your self, in every relationship we are in we seem to lose a piece of ourselves, we need to gain that back before we have anything to offer in a new relation, find out who you are, grow from the experience. Some times I think people are afraid to be alone with them selves for awhile, it's ok to be single. I think I got your question right if not good advice any way I think.

30 days... by then you've probably gone as far as you are going to go.... women start thinking of it as a relationship then... be nice the first couple weeks then get increasingly not nice... if your lucky she'll break up with you first.

good question, i wish i knew. ive broken up 4mths now and everyone has a different answer. some say 'give it time to find yourself' some say move straight on, or keep busy, or stay home. i reckon u just have to live day to day and try and get it out of your system. from talking to my friends etc. giving it some time is good, gives you a chance to put your expectations higher for next time and not just look for something to fill in the 'comfortable' filling the house and bed in the morning. it seems that halve the time you were with them and thats how long it TRUELY takes, say you were together 6mths, 3mths single is good. 3 years, 18ths single is good. good luck, maybe instead of walking around the house, do a total spring clean and move the furniture around for a 'visual' fresh start....?

Wait until you are at least 25, have an education and a steady job, are financially independent and finally...you'll need a girlfriend too.

There is no set time limit, if you want to start dating, go for it. Don't worry about what other people think, god will be our judge in the end. You only live once. I'am a married mother with children, you have fun and live like you are dying.
