There is no fixed time that you are supposed to wait. If it is over; then it is OVER.
Right after a breakup is a time when we really need our friends to support us through the process of readjusting to our new situation.
I do suggest that you hold off on courting someone else for a while and limit yourself to dating and engaging in social activities.
My thought is that it makes sense to do a bit of dating ASAP. It helps to keep the dating casual; otherwise you may find yourself venting to someone that is not the best choice.
But it really is a great thing to stay grounded and have a social life ASAP.

This is such an important topic. So many people I know are getting back into dating after getting divorced, or after a major breakup. I just read a really interesting dating book that gave some great advice on handling this subject called HOW TO DATE LIKE A GROWN-UP: Everything You Need to Know to Get Out There, Get Lucky, or Even Get Married in Your 40s, 50s and Beyond

I would wait around 4-6 months. You really need to be over the other person before beginning anything with someone else. No need bringing baggage into a new relationship.You don’t want to be with someone on the rebound, it’s not fair to the other person.

theres not set amount of time..its up to you when you feel like getting back out there.just take your time though because 2.5 years is awhile to date someone, dont rush
