    So there should be a period of mourning or something? That ended with an empty bottle of wine.

    Still waiting for a satisfactory answer to what being ready means. Is there a spreadsheet somewhere of period waiting against length of relationship?

      Yeah life does go on but if you've been with someone for example for 5 years and it ends, surely you need time to get your head together and decide what you want/need out of a relationship, just jumping all guns blazing into another one isn't quite right, again IMHO.

      Is it that you don't like being alone or single or whatever? Or is it just shagging you want?

      Is there a spreadsheet? Doubt it!

        For most women alarm bells will be going off, if you tell them you have only been "single" a week.
        Just don't tell them. After all at this stage you shouldn't be looking for a long term relationship, so a little white lie to get into their knickers doesn't really matter as long as you aren't telling them you're looking for something long term.

          Not a spreadsheet I'm aware of, but I'm going to get on that right now. My plan B.

          Emotionally ready we mean. (I knew you'd like that) Taking a bit of time between relationships should usually ensure you don't carry any crap to the next person. Even if you think that crap doesn't exist, it probably does.

          EDIT: I stupidly hadn't considered that despite using 'Dating' sites, this might not be quite what you're after.

          Obviously, shagging about a bit after a split is entirely acceptable, and completely understandable.

          Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            In that case, lose the internet dating and just go to a club or pub, find a bird who is willing and shag her. From what I know of it - people who use internet dating (seriously) want a relationship not just a shag.

              We were together two years, not married. My head's very well together and not at all messed up becuase of a relationship ending.

              If I wanted a shag I could head into the west end later and have a fairly good chance of pulling. I enjoy the fun of dating, going out for a meal or a drink in female company.

              C'mon, if you have an opinion let's hear the rational behind it.

                My rationale is that I don't think after a week you can be emotionally ready to start another relationship.

                You don't think that your head is messed up? But the reasons why you split up... all her fault or are you willing to accept some responsibility? If it's all her fault then If you have some responsibility to take too - how can you be sure you won't do or say the same stuff again?

                We all know that a Womans rationale is way, way off what a Mans is... so I doubt I'll ever say enough to convince you that what I say is any way right
