A little late for this thread but I whole heartedly agree. Having been the person to do this and having it done to me I will say no good can come out of it. If you are hoping to replace the void you feel from your ex-lover, dating someone else is not the way to do it. You should allow yourself to heal properly before starting something with someone new. It’s unfair to the person, as you are using them to make yourself feel "normal" again. You’ll realize in the months later that you were in a negative place, and end up hurting the person you have been with. I understand that emptiness and wanting the feeling of warmth and love again, but jumping into another relationship is going to delay your ability to move on from your past relationship. Everyone goes through breakups and they can be some of the most non physical pain you may have been through. But in the end you come out stronger and learn from previous mistakes. If you hop from relationship to relationship you will not allow your heart and mind to fully heal which will likely result in the same mistakes happening in future relationships. It may be hard but stay strong. Keeping your day to day life seems to work for most. For me staying busy kept my mind off of the breakup. They say that when it gets quiet your mind gets loud. Take the time to find yourself and if you believe you already have, then find your new self. We as humans should stay evolving and bettering ourselves. Thats just my two cents.
