How long have you been broken up? If you are thinking of movingon I don't think she is really the one for you otherwise you would not be thinking about anything other than her.

You and your gf broke up the day you wrote the discussion? If you love her then you would not have such thoughts. You would be doing her a favor by moving on because she should not be with someone that does not love her.

im gonna move on because the secret underlying fact why she broke up with me is because she was talkin to someone else and i found that out today whoever this dude is, is in for it with her, i was faithful to her and my love had never failed on her but aparently i was the only one in love in this relationship.

I think that its all up to you and what you feel is best. No one can really give you a timeframe to heal or to begin searching for friendship or love again. However, I will say that I think having closure of some sort with her will give you a clear head on what you want next for a relationship.

I agree with crislyric no one can tell you specifically how long is long enough to wait. But I did read in one of the other responses you posted this the day you broke up. I would give it a few weeks or so before moving on. Make sure you know what you want from a relationship. I would want closure before moving on too and it helps me.

this one is on you my friend you got to know if the person you got to know for the pass five months is worth waiting for. from looking in on the outside i could tell you anything but thats because i dont know the full detail of the situation. so in all fairness i would have to ask you if she is worth the wait, cause only you can answer that. secondly you did not mention why she wanted some time alone thats an important factor in the hole matter you need to give it some though and see if her reason is justifiable
