Guys, how long do you take before hooking up with someone else after a breakup?

This question is mostly for guys. How long is it before you’re looking to hookup with someone new after a breakup.

To be specific; say if it’s you that did the breaking up. Or if you’re the one who got dumped
Also, does the length of the relationship matter?

  • I have never really put a time limit on it , I take my time , a time that I feel is needed to settle my emotions often I’ve threw myself back into work and social activities and sports Etc. I would only say that i have taken longer before moving on when I’ve been broken up with and I think that’s mostly because I’ve needed to process the why’s , hows ifs and buts. I have never ever found it easy to move on though , I truly believe that every failed relationship has taken a little piece of me with it

  • I broke up with my ex of more than a decade last Nov/Dec.

    I wanted to wait but nature doesn't permit 😄😄😄 so I started looking around Jan.

    Made some female friends but not yet dates.

    But I think by March, I should have a new girlfriend.

    So what do you think?

  • I have had enough breakups now. So I know I usually have a dip in lonelyness after three weeks. I try to hit up old friends and talk to them. I start to look for affection but I just can't stand the thought of fucking someone else so quickly after a breakup.

  • Most guys are pigs anyways. And it depends how much they really liked you this is why I said most guys are just pigs is because they were in it for. Themselves so it might take a day or 2 before they find another to lead on but if the guy really liked loved you it will take a while

  • Yes the length does matter like if its a short one most guys wait a month and if its along term one most guys wait 2 sometimes more than 2 months

  • Depends on how long it takes for me to put myself back on the market. But once I’m dating a girl it could be anywhere from a day to a month.

  • About twenty minutes. ;)
    Maybe even before. LOL
    It's not the time, it's the parties involved.

  • I don't set aside a specific amount of time. Where I'm at in my life, I know who I am and what I want. So whenever I meet someone else is whenever I meet someone else.

  • As soon as possible, usually.

  • Like 2,3 days meaby

  • It's been 6 months and I still havnt found someone.

  • depends on the man.

  • Depends on the relationship really...

  • If your mother she’s around not much

  • Not sure. Married 17 years. Marriage on its last legs. And I am have a hard time finding a play toy. So not sure on time.
    But if I wasn't getting any in a relationship it would be possible the next day if I found a nicd lady to play with. Good luck

  • Not sure I never actually went looking for a relationship but if someone approached me minutes after I will give it a try like start talking to them and whatever and see what happens

  • I didn't. Always end up as "just friends" so I don't even bother meeting anyone new

  • It varies. Anywhere from 1 week to 1 month typically.

  • As soon as possible.

  • It depends how long it takes to find someone else.

  • If I'm in love and broken hearted immediately

  • This is a really broad question. It depends on the length of the relationship. I've been single just over a year now after an 8 year relationship and I don't think I'm ready to be with anyone else yet. I can't seem to have the patience or want to be with anyone else.

    It depends on the person.
