Well I just broke up with a girl I'd been with for 13 months. It had gotten pretty bad, we fought a lot, etc. As much as I feel horrible saying it though, I was falling for another girl who I've wanted to date for almost 3 years now. We became best friends, and then finally it got to the point where I broke up with my girlfriend because I couldn't stop thinking about her. Now I'm at the point where she wants to date. I want to date her, she wants to date me. The dilemma? How long should I wait!? I mean I just got out of a serious relationship, but I don't wanna lose my chance with this girl. She means the world to me. I know this should sound way too serious for a 15 year old, but please, spare me. I've heard it a million times. Big question: how long would you say is the acceptable time period in between relationships after one that serious!?

Tricky, if you go to quick it would seem like you are in a rebound relationship, but if you take to long she could think you aren't interested and go for someone else. I would tell her the whole situation like "I dumped her because i knew i loved you, this isn't some rebound relationship. blah blah" Good luck :)

It's a personal thing and everyone is different, you could be over it in a few days or in a few months or you may never get over it. Everyone is different, you're over it when you feel over it. If you think that you aren't, tell her because if it is a rebound you aren't only hurting her - you're hurting yourself. If it isn't like that and you truly want a relationship with her, go for it, tell her how much you like her and how you want it to work. There isn't an 'acceptable' time frame, just go with what feels right for you.

She has a vacation later this month, I'm thinking after she gets back from that. I've talked to her about the whole rebound thing, she gets it. I just wanna make sure it goes smoothly. My lifes been kinda shitty lately but I've really wanted this. Having it makes the bad times feel worth it. I just dont wanna fuck anything up.

Yeah, I think it's best you wait till she's back, and I'm glad she understands it's not a rebound thing.
