“Most people probably wait at least a month if they had a relationship that was at least a few months long,” Sherman told INSIDER. “If it was a more significant relationship then they may take longer, like three months or more to start dating again.”

How soon should you date after a breakup?

The short answer is you should only date again when youre ready. The truth is it depends on you, your needs, and the seriousness of the previous relationship. If youre asking this question, I recommend waiting at least one month before getting back on the market.
