How long should you wait?

i never heard of the "3-months rule" any more ,maybe it is reasonable .just like in chinese, when you get married, your marriage would have a problem at the seventh year. and it really happens sometimes. so maybe they're reasonable. but to me , i would not just obey the rules , i will do following my heart rather than the rule.

I think no matter how long the time is, what matters is the feeling. If I and my partner still love each other, and the break-up is just a result of a quarrel or other disputes, I will try to recover the relationship. Time is not a problem, the key point is the whether you love your partner or not?

I Dont think there is a rule it is more like a kind of common sense. I guess you can see how serious a relationship was for someone by the time it takes for them to start seeing someone. This doesnt actually happen in every case though. I can say that one thing that shouldnt happen for sure (which is something that happens alot and especially with girls starting at the age of 14 where i live) they dont even wait a day and they are already makeing out with some boy that showed up. I think they put the 3 month rule to see if people would have, like i said before, some kind of common sense. But i think that after a month or two is the right time, you dont actually need to wait the 3 months i guess.

I think that it is important for individuals to take their time before entering a new relationship after a breakup. I think that even three months is too soon to enter into another relationship. Though it's often hard for a lot of people to be alone and so they start a new relationship right away.

This is the first time I have heard this 3 month rule, when my ex boyfriend and i broke up he already got a new girl friend after a few days maybe because he really wants to get over me. But in my situation I waited a 8 months before starting to date again because i waited to make my heart and myself ready and free from any regrets and pain.

It depends on the person on how he or she can handle it. However, they say it takes three years to totally forget the past relationship.

If you always follow your culture and tradition you need to wait that period of the day. As far as my opinion is concern, those period is not a big deal because there is connection with both person that enter into relationship.

I don't think that there is a specific time frame on when to go out on a date again. I mean, you've been through a break up. And if people do want to reach out to you and help you get rid of your sadness, why wait for 3 months to do so. We could mourn after breaking up, but it should also be the start of facing life a whole new way.

i think it all depends. taking my personal experience for example. I met my second boyfriend two months later after i broken up with my first one. I had three yrs relationship with my frist one,when the realtionship gone ,my love and feeling also gone. I was reday to take next one. While after i broken up with my second one,i wait for 3 yrs,then i met my present husband. It's not that i hurt much and couldnot put him down,actually just because i did not met the right one. I have seen many guys during these 3 yrs,but nobody fits me. if my husband didnot show up,maybe i will wait for 4 yrs,5 yrs... to wait for that right one. So i think it depens,sometimes we do need time to clear up our mind and heart,but sometimes it's just that right one did not show up,so we did not take a move

It is very individual, and not only implied by the culture. It depends on how strong a relationship was, how serious, and how the two partners broke up - as friends or as enemies. Every individual has their own way of coping with the suffering after a break down. Some people are not ready to start a new relationship for years, other jump to a new lover the next week. Maybe the 3-month rule is some kind of establishment as a perios of psychological recovering and keeping some decency, but I think everyone should decide for themselves. If that's the custom, one should obey to it simply to avoid public judgments, if the public opinion is important in a society. If there is no such rule, everyone is free to choose. And should be free to choose what actions to take. When love comes, it doesn't care about rules and traditions, it just comes and it makes it very, very difficult.

there is no standard time for one to in another relationship again after a break up, every one needs to be happy, so why wait for 3 months if one can be happy the next day? i am never willing to suffer for something not worth my time anymore if i have the chance to start another one the next day or the next week? i sure would not let a good chance or a good person to pass me by because of that 3 months rule, and may i know where got it?

I never take that rule..3 months is too long for me.. yes, its a respect but its a case to case bases. What if that person whom you broke up is not really deep in love with you. He/she may be find it more comfortable to go dating with someone after a day of break up. I remember one time I broke up with this guy. After a month I had another affair. It depends on the person if he wants to follow it or just leave it. Humans are humans,,sometimes we need someone to care for us..we need love.

For me, I don't believe and I don't care in that 3-month rule. Love knows no time. What I mean is if you still love your partner then there is no any hindrance for you to date her again. You won't care about that 3-month rule, you only care about is to be with your dearest love again. Have a nice day and happy mylotting! :)

What rule is this, 3 month rule?! There is no rule in love. Don't follow such superstitions and don't let them change your life. I wouldn't like my partner to wait 3 months or any such thing like that! I would like him to act according to how he feels not according to superstitions. I don't like this 3 month rule.

i believe it depends on how the break up ended, and how each other took the break up. to me, it does not, and should not work on rules. time heals the wounds, yes, but there are people who are able to move on earlier or later, depending on the turn of events.

After a break up it is much better if you give your self space and time to just think and enjoy being single regardless of how long it will be.. I don't believe that you should wait a certain time to be inlove again.. as long as you feel that you have move on and ready to love again for me it is fine so you can have a chance again to be happy..

Well, I don't have any idea about this 3-month rule. But I can share some thoughts about moving on and when is the right time for it. Occasionally, some can't move on easily and it takes for them a year or years to be precise while some will fall in love even just for a month after break-up. I couldn't say that there is right time or rules for falling in love for I always say that true love comes in its own way. But it is always better to fall in love again with clear minds and already mended heart so it will never looks like for a rebound.
