Am I ready for another relationship?
Quick question RC. Just how long should you wait after you boyfriend dumps you before you move onto the next one? Dumped Look, there’s no hard and a fast rule for this one, Dumped. Many people believe you can’t get over the old one without getting under a new one. Flings are fun and you can try them out as soon as you feel emotionally stable and confident you can handle sleeping with someone new. I jumped into my first fling two months after my ex dumped me and it was a really positive step. However, my advice is to take a little time before starting something more serious. Somewhere between six and nine months after a long term relationship (say, 2 years and over) and you’ll be more than ready to meet Mr Next.
Love, reality chick

I agree RC. I think the big reason most guys get over relationships quickly is because they get back out there while we women stay at home crying into our chocolate cake. I've been trialing this system - whenenver something doesn't work out with a guy I force myself to get back out there quickly. It is painful for a day or two and hard to make yourself try again. But before I know it there's a new guy I like and the guy from a fortnight ago is a distant memory. It is like ripping off a band-aid. You don't want to do it but once you have you are really pleased you did!
