A good amount of time for a person to be divorced before they are ready to get serious with someone new?

Is it a month, a week, six months, a year, three years? Does it matter? How do you know for sure that they're really over their ex?

    There is no set answer here. Depends on the circumstances of the divorce. Were you still in love with him? Do you have scars from his abuse, emotional or physiacal. In most cases when the woman seeks the divorce the marriage has been over for her for years and making a transition is almost a needed thing. I would say take it slow. Takea step back and focus on you. Where you are and what you need to do for yoruself in the wake of the divorce, Date a man that you find compatible aabut ease into it and take advantage of your new found freedom to explore your new vistas. Might make choosing your next mate easier and a wiser choice.

    Good question, and sometimes it's really hard to tell. I prefer the ex's that don't have contact or a lot of strings tying them to their past. I don't think there's a time limit, really, since each breakup is different. I know the paperwork for divorce in Texas takes like 60-90 days to go through. By the time you file, you may have been separated from this person for months and months! So.. I would say when the other person doesn't bring the past up and when that person can go a day, a week, a month, without mentioning the ex or contacting the ex. :P Up to your comfort level.

    Only you know. But a good way to tell is to look at a male and if he turns you on then you are ready.

    i don't think there is a time limit. but if u care what others in your life think take your time if it is too soon they will think you were cheating.

    you will know when it is time when you can look at the other sex and not compare them with your ex

    I don't thik you can put a time limit on it, It is something that you have to decide within urself. I would just let it ride for a while though.

    There is no right answer, it depends on the individual. Just like most other things in life.
