Breaking up with your partner is one of the harder - if not the hardest - painful situation that a person has to endure.
After a few - or so many years - of having him or her by your side, you are suddenly on your own.
There is nobody to check on you anymore and nobody to say "I love you".
Along with this break up, you seem to think that your world has already fallen apart.
No matter how you want to deal with the situation positively and pretend that you can carry on, you still end up crying all night.
You do not know where the emotional hurt is coming; but, you are sure of the throbbing pain.
The first few days of the break up is the hardest; can also be the first month.
You feel alone, though, your friends and family are looking after you.
In fact, they have been trying very hard to entertain you and keep you company to help you forget.
Yes, you may be alone but you should not allow yourself to become lonely.
Sometimes, you can control the pain - if you only set your mind to it.
If you only tell yourself, you can move on.
But, how does one move on after break up? Precisely, there are ways that can aid a person in moving on - like dating.
Why not? You deserve to be happy - again.
Going on dates does not mean you are too in hurry to be on a relationship again.
It can only mean you need a company or someone volunteers to be your company to entertain you and help you forget all the things that had happened to you.
Of course, forgetting will not take place in a snap of a hand; it will take time.
But, at least you are going toward that direction.
However, when is the right time to go on a date? Is it a day after your breakup with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Is it after a week? Or, can it be after a month? If you decide to go out with someone after a week of breakup, it will not matter.
Who cares about what people may think about you? It's your life, anyway, and you are the one that's hurting - not them.
But, if you do care, a month or two after your heart-breaking experience will do.
It is the right time for you to move on and stop crying a gallon of tears.
You should have enough.
If he or she has his own life now, you must realize, though, you also have your own.
But, a reminder, dating should not be a race between you and your former boyfriend or girlfriend.
You should not go out with someone all because he did go out on a date, too.
You heart and mind should still be the one to tell you when you are prepared to see another 'prospect'.
Your heart and mind should tell you if it's time.
