There’s not really a set timeline tbf, but if it hasn’t been long make sure you’re a) mostly over your ex and b) are mentally well enough to be able to put that kind of energy into someone else, if either of those 2 things are lacking I’d wait and work on that with a therapist

Truthfully your choice. If you want to give yourself time, do it. If you feel bold and ready enough to get back at it, also go for it. I’d say try living life on your own terms

I hear a good rule of thumb is the half life of the relationship- like if u were together for 1 year youd wait 6 months. But personally i just got out of a 2 year one 6 months ago and im already moving on but the relationship was over before it was really over anyway. So its all subjective
