    Once you are ready to move on from your heartbreak, then start dating again. If you are pinning for your ex, it's going to be hard for you to enjoy dating. Dating is stressful enough without thinking about your ex.

    The online route is a pretty safe and fun way to get back into the game, just don't get too immersed in it because it can end up taking up all of your free time and the novelty will eventually wear off - you will burnout and get tired of chatting with people. Just join a well known site and take it slow, there are some real strange people out there who will write anything in their profile to get a response, but there are also some decent, well-intentioned people who will make it worth the experience, just be patient and look for things that sound "too good to be true".....good luck and being on your own isn't so bad either - relationships are such hard work it seems

    I think you first need to work through your pain before you consider getting into a new relationship. Have you seen a counselor to help you with dealing with your pain?

    Go into dating again with the idea that you are not looking for a serious relationship, but are out to meet new people and have fun. If you meet the right guy and you are ready, things will happen.

    Sometimes just getting out there again is the cure to heartache.

    Source(s): It worked for me--getting out there two months after getting dumped was the best thing I did.

    go out again, thats the only way you could make it easier for you again. nothing comes from nothing but love doesnt come from nothing. so, go out, be happy and enjoy.
