My boyfriend of 13 months just broke up with me because he likes another girl.I'm just wondering how long I should wait to start dating again? We just broke up like 5 days ago and I already feel over him but I don't think it's possible to be over him this quickly. Please help me!!!

[SIZE=2][COLOR=Magenta]Its really up to you i guess. it depends onthe type of relationship you guys had. sounds like it wasnt 'love" if he just decided he liked another girl better than you. go out date, do whatever you want, dont be bound by the chains of a previous relationship as it will onloy prevent you from flying in a new one

Sounds to me like you are ready to go.

Of course you are going to have some lingering feelings, and to say you are completely over him in 5 days would not be true. But people are resiliant and have a way of bouncing back.

Start dating or hanging out with whoever may spark your interest. You dont have to jump into another relationship immediately, but you dont have to sit at home feeling sorry for yourself or wondering what went wrong.

Just live your life and be happy for what you have and chalk this one up to a learning experience. Move on and seize the opportunities that present themselves.

Good luck.

You are one of the lucky ones that heals fast. I say if you feel comfortable, get out there and have fun!
