Though time can heal the wounds of relationships past, theres no hard-and-fast rule about how soon you should date again after a breakup, Goldenberg said. The ways in which you heal during your time as a single person are more indicative of your readiness to date, she said.

How long after a breakup should you wait to date?

If I had to give a time frame, it would be from one to three months after the breakup. However, the time frame still depends on you and if you feel like dating again will be a positive experience or if it will just make you feel like crap and miss your ex.
