Wow, waiting a year? I can't even imagine! I'm still young, so a lot can change, but I tend to jump from one relationship to another. And I do mean serious ones. I was with my ex-fiance for over 4 years, then within a few months of breaking up with him I was dating an old friend from my hometown. We dated for about 1 1/2 years. After kicking him out of my house I pretty much immediately started dating my current boyfriend whom I've been with for 2 1/2 years.

I have tried to plan it, but I never end up sticking to it, really. I would say that it's best to just make sure that you have time to take care of yourself first of all. When you feel ready to get into another relationship, go for it, whether it's 3 weeks since the breakup or 3 years. Just always make sure that you're comfortable with what you're doing and remember, everyone is different.

I don't think a time frame should be set, things should just evolve naturally. Its hard to say that after x number of months you'll be ready to move on, in some situations you may be ready to move on imediately, in others you it may take years. Everyone and ever relationship is different.

I reallt don't think that it is really planned that way. I honestly think that a person should wait a while to let their heart heal. Breakups affect people different. Some people don't have problems with it, and are ready to jump on the wagon right away. Others need time to mend, and breathe. So I really don't think that there is any kind of time frame. It's all about the heart, and how you feel.
