You met someone amazing. But they’re single. So how soon is too soon to start dating someone who just got out of a relationship? Isn’t it wise to let someone grieve and process their breakup? And if they haven’t done that fully, wouldn’t that spell trouble for your budding romance?
The One Person You Shouldn't Date
According to Laurel House, an eharmony relationship expert, there's generally no such thing as "too soon" to start dating after a breakup.
"But when we're talking about individual relationships, [it may be] 'too soon' for some newly single daters," she says. "For example, it may be too soon to start dating again if someone is completely dependent on their ex, their relationship, and hasn't officially ended the physical and/or emotional connection."
However, she points out that many relationships aren't over for months, if not years, before the final goodbye. That said, if there are still unresolved feelings and a connection, then it doesn't matter when the breakup happened because there will still be some messy feelings involved.
