How long should a person take to move on after a breakup?

Is there a good idea on how long a person should wait before dating again? I was with someone for about 6 years. How long should I give myself?

    There is no set time for this. Everyone is different and everyone heals differently. Give yourself what ever amount of time you need. You will know when to move on.

    Go out NOW. What are you waiting for. There is no set limit on dating after break ups, only deaths.

    As long as it takes you to feel ready to move on. There is no set timetable.
