On to the Next One

How long should a person take to move onto their next relationship? Does it depend on how long the previous relationship lasted? Does it matter if you were just boyfriend/girlfriend or married? If you rush into the next relationship quickly does it mean that the previous relationship was less significant than one may have thought?

Whatever the answer, I definitely think finding and loving yourself again is critical. Additionally, carrying baggage into the next relationship isn't so good either. So, is a slow process with little to no communication better or easier? Or abrupt and done? Which ever, pace is important and we all have to do it on our own time.

So where to start? What's the approach? Maybe some "Me" time, for reflection and realization? Or drowning yourself into workout plans and work? Hmmmmm, maybe catch up with girlfriends that were neglected during the course of the relationship. Or catch up at old lounges/bars that were avoided during the relationship.

I have a friend that says "New sex, helps you forget about the old sex" And another says "Lots of new sex will get you an STD" LOL. Point made and taken, however...what happens on those lonely nights when you're alone and you have been for months and the sex just doesn't help anymore? When the girl friends go home to their boyfriends after all the catching up is done? What happens when the bars are closed? Or what if you guys were really good friends? Does your ex become your next?

Well, I'm no relationship expert and could or would not ever tell anyone how to move on to the next. I just know that on this ride of life and love the next ride should always be better than the one before!!!
