I’m a guy. I’ve been broken up with my ex for 2 1/2 months now. In your opinions, at what time does it seem right to be open for looking for someone else?

I think only you know what time is right for you. Don't rush it, let yourself heal, but don't keep yourself hung up on what you THINK you should do. Only you can judge your own character and readiness.

you can move on whenever you want to! the “right” time does not exist. if you feel ready then you feel ready. it just depends per person and per situation. don’t overthink it. do what you think is best for you!

If she dumped you, immediately! You don’t have to wait around for someone who doesn’t want you. If you dumped her, 1-2 months.

1. There is no time limitation on when it’s the right time to get back into dating, no matter the situation. It just depends on the person and how fast they’re healing from the break up. 2. Your comment kind of comes off a little sexist ngl. Just because she might have dumped him doesn’t mean she didn’t want him, they could have broken up due to different reasons. You don’t know the situation at all. You’re implying that if she broke up with him then “fuck her, go get with another girl”.

Also you don’t even know if his ex was a girl or not. Could have been a guy. Would your answer still stay the same? And also what if he didn’t want his ex and he broke up with them, would that also change your answer or not?

Ex was a girl. And it was “mutual” but definitely more on her side. I thought that maybe we just needed time. But I don’t think she wants me anymore

Yes I would fucking have! If a human does not want to be with you, let them go fuck themselves! One ought to go find someone who makes them happy and wants to be with them.

I was happy with her. She was with me. Then there was a misunderstanding that spiraled way out of control that lead to a breakup. I’d never wish anything bad upon her. She’s still the sweetest and kindest woman I know.

This is honestly a really toxic view. Like obviously people should be with others who makes them feel good and stuff, but just because someone no longer would want someone else doesn’t make them a bad person, and you’re making it sound like it does 💀 people change and sometimes relationships just lose the original spark

It’s really toxic that I don’t think one should mourn a person that willingly walks out of your life? If one person is still in love and the other “losses the spark”… then well, the latter can go play with a lighter at a gas station until the spark shows up!

oh so thats an insane thing to say. i definitely don’t mourn a person for long, i’m able to move on pretty quick, but i would never wish the other person the worst (except for one who was into kids and lots of drugs).

with that answer, yes, it is really toxic. clearly there is no reasoning with you so I’ll leave it at that.
