Just wondering what the norm is here, if there is one. With my last relationship (albeit strictly online), I ended up starting to talk with someone else like a few days after things seemed to be over, kind of questioning how normal that is though a bit. But anyway, what about the rest of you?

Move on? I don't understand. What is this moving on that you speak of?

lets see my last relationship ended 19 months ago and it lasted for 3 1/2 years(and she was my best friend long b4 we started dating) and well I'm over it but have yet to actually try anything with anyone...

as long as YOU want it to take. act like like a nike shoe and just do it

You are so cute, there is no such thing as norm as every individual acts and reacts differently.

dont worry about others, how long it takes them, or things of that sort.

do what makes you happy? take as long as you need to feel good and content to move on.

There is no formula..it really depends on several factors..were being dumped or did u dump the person. (ego comes in to play,if u were dumped, and usually lowers ur selfesteem a bit, which makes it harder to recover)

The other point is on how long u were together..but again one couple can be together for 2 years and hardly see each other, and another couple for 6 months,and see each other every day..soo really just the time spent together..

I think most of the healing already starts b4 u break up, b/c u see it comming,arguments, lack of fullfilled sex, u know..soo the actual breakup is just a big shock..in my opinion.

It all depends on how emotionally invested you are. I'm not saying that she was not by this though...some people move on very quickly hoping to distract their memories with someone else.

Too many variables. Moving on can be theraputic, but if you aren't ready you could just be spinning your wheels.

2 years 14 days......16 hours..........30 minutes and 28 seconds!!!

I don't think there is a normal time frame. Some people it can be as simple as saying next because you were never that emotionally envolved and some people you never get over even when you have moved on~

.0000675 seconds

Psychologists say it's half of the time you where dating. 2 years would require 1 year to be completely over the person. I should find the article on it. But they also say that you should wait 1/4th the time of the relastionship before dating again. I'm not sure i really buy into that as much though.

Honestly, i think it's when you find yourself saying she was instead of she is, when you an imagine her with another guy and happy, and not be bothered by it. Bounce back relastonships help, but i don't really believe in them, as they tend to hurt the other party, who did nothing wrong.

If you all can tell me this one ty wow I am still trying to move on and cant
