From a guys perspective, how long do you think it’d take to be ready to date again after a long term relationship? I’m talking to a guy who I just found out got out of one 6 months ago. I really like him but now idk if that’s enough time to be over his ex

Basically I wanna know if you guys think I’m just his rebound or if there’s a chance he could actually be over his long term relationship already and like me

Me not long but I’m also one of those dudes who forgets about the past unless it’s important

I think it depends how long the relationship was. It would prolly be good in 6 months if it was like a year Ig. Longer than that, it would take a lot longer imo.

it depends on a lot of factors. the guy, how the relationship ended, how long the relationship lasted etc.

6 MONTHS?? Ma’am, quit stalling and go bag that man. 6 hours would be long enough if you’re the right person for him. My last time was 3 hours. Though that’s an outlier, it’s not a comfort or readiness thing, I just lucked out

I guess, come to think of it, this poses a far more important question. How long do women think it’s supposed to take men to be over a long relationship? I’ve noticed before that y’all, uh, don’t like if it’s been too recent. But I thought that was more in the ballpark of one month, two at most. How long actually is the statute of limitations before a guy’s ‘presumptive damaged goods’ status expires? As a consensus among women I mean?

OP I’m in same boat! Found out the guy I’m taking to was in a long term relationship this past fall (sep) BUT she cheated on him… would that mean he’s over her (ik he’s had hookups since bc I asked his body count 💀) but I just can’t tell if he’s ready or not for another relationship

Mine was 4 1/2 years and I’m gonna be real, it could take maybe a year. But that was also bc I needed to work through some personal issues such as self worth, learning about who I am and finding my interests before I felt ready to date, if that makes sense

That would mean you didn’t think a 3 year long relationship was important lol I mean moving on is good but moving on too quickly because you forgot about it is kinda alarming to me

Okay actually this is helping me realize I should just move on from this guy because he’s either still caught up on his ex or he moved on too quickly. Both bad.

6 months is a long ass time he more than likely moved on already especially if he was the one who broke up with his ex

Quick nitpick: asking about his body count or whether he’s had hookups tells you exactly nothing about his body count or whether he’s had hookups
