/adv/ my relationship was going down hill for a month before my now-ex boyfriend decided to end things. Maybe like 2 days after, I met a guy who I've been talking to, who has no idea that I just got out of a 2+ year relationship, he just knows that I'm single. He recently asked me out, and I said "not now." He was thankfully cool with that, but I'm I'm wondering when I will/should be cool with dating again? I've never had a breakup from such a serious relationship, but it also feels like nothing to get worked up about because things were going so poorly for so long at the end.
Go talk to your ex and really clear things up.

About what? It's over
There is no correct amount of time to wait, just whenever you feel comfortable. Could be tomorrow, could be a month or two from now.

You'll know when you're ready. I have a similar situation with my recent ex but as the guy. It's certainly nothing compared to 2 years but we went out for 7 months. Im not ready to date until i can heathily fill this hole that im feeling in my heart. I miss having gone to muay thai, playing my violin, so itll make me feel better to be improving myself, for my next partner.
I broke up with her because her sister hated our relationship. She started dating a neighbor she had sometimes chilled with. Their mothers smoke pot together. I don't miss our relationship nor do i want it back. After the honey moon phase, annoyances started to come up. If she grew up in a better environment, i know we could have perserved our relationship.
Despite that, i honestly value our friendship. We broke up on friday and havnt spoken to her since. When is the right time to hit her up?
