it's hard to pick up any sort of time-cycle for these things - every situation is different. at least things aren't totally dry for you: ie, you've still got what it takes if you choose to use it. things'll look up.
maximus: that sucks - one of the worst situations i can think of being in. breaking up with my first ex after 2+ years was more than bad enough, and if i'd found out that she was seeing someone new before i'd recovered then it would have ripped my guts out completely. i feel for you man. my tip? drop the hope - it's bloody difficult, but even if it's the tiniest thing in the back of your mind it'll totally stop the healing process and make you a bitter bag of nerves for ages. try as hard as you can to drop it and move on, even if it's not back into dating. and remember: time is a great (the only) healer.
