Do you jump immediately into a new relationship after ended one ?

How long do you need to get over a relationship before you embark on a new relationship ? A few days to a few years ? I think one should not embark on a new relationship immediately after ended one. One should take some time to do some reflections before moving on to a new relationship. I know some people will simply jump to another new relationship once their old relationship has ended. This type of situation might be because there is already an exisitng third party involved even before their current relationship has ended. However if there is no existing third party involved, I feel that one should take some time to do some reflections and soul searching before moving on to another new relationship. There is no hard and fast rules as to how much time one need to be alone to get over a relationship before embarking into another new relationship. I think as long as the individual has met the right person at the right timing at the right place, he or she should go for it. However it is best not to be involved in another new relationship immediately after ended one. At least have a short break to reflect before moving on. Also to give yourself some time to get to know the new person in order not to make the same mistakes or make the mistakes of treating that new person as a substitute for your ex-partner, which is not fair to her or him.

Well that is my take on relationships turn around time on embarking a new relationship after ended old relationship with ex-partners. Feel free to share your opinon and comments, no hard feelings. Thanks.
