This is how long you should wait before dating after a break up

Couples go through breakups every day all over the world. However, people are different when it comes to moving on. Some take too long while others take a very short time.

According to Paulette Kouffman Sherman, Psy.D., psychologist and author, "Most people need a month or two to process the breakup, to mourn, and to integrate lessons before jumping back in if they were in a fairly serious relationship," she says. “If you dated someone for a year or more, you may need three to four months. On the other hand, you might need less time if your relationship was very short.” She added.
