I believe the best and quickest way to move on and feel better is to get out there and do it. Just be aware of where you are at emotionally and be up front with who you go out with. Focus on having fun, not developing a new relationship. Date around, don’t sleep around … too many people get this one backwards. Many therapists recommend waiting for a-while which comes from 2 trains of thought; 1. It’s common to have sex as a way of forgetting but that always causes more emotional problems and clouds your judgment … so just don’t go there and 2. Many therapists who are clinical introverts themselves and process internally anyway, think that is the only way to process a break-up. It’s not. If you are an extrovert and process verbally with others, then processing alone doesn’t work well for you. Just stay aware of where you are at and just focus on having fun. This is your life … do it the way you want.
