Is there an acceptable waiting period after a breakup...?

Before you start imagining or having thoughts of seeing other people?
You see, my guy and I broke up in November and I have been very adamant that I am [i][b]not[/b][/i] interested in seeing anyone, or starting anything new.
I recognize that I need time to do some healing, and to figure myself out before I even [i]think[/i] of dating again.
I assumed this would take some time, perhaps even a year or two…
The thing is, yesterday while at work, a man came in whom I haven’t seen for a long time (he is a regular customer, but I have been away from work) and he made it clear he very happy to see me back. AND I GOT SOME BUTTERFLIES!!!!
We had fun chatting and flirting, and I enjoyed it!

Now, I find myself looking forward to the next time he comes in….and this surprises me….it really does.
I did not expect to have these kinds of thoughts for a LONG time yet….?
Doesn’t it seem too soon???
Uuuurrrggghhhh why do I have to be such a frikken [i]girl[/i]!????!

Sounds great! You can still heal and take it slow but it always makes us feel better I think when we can communicate with people that are good to us. Nothing wrong with that. Such kind people help us heal, as well. I see it as a blessing. You're getting what you deserve...genuine goodness. 😉

@LadyGrace oh thank you….it IS true, that others can help us heal 🩵 Even when they don’t know they’re helping 😊
@ImpeccablyImperfect Yes, lovely, they sure can, and do. I feel God has given you new beginnings, because you deserve it. You have a lovely sweet heart, and he wants nothing more than for you to be happy. When things seem to come to a halting end, it is really only God, giving you a brand new beginning. That's how much he loves you and I know he loves to see your beautiful smile today. Hahaha You're on the right track!
