Anywhere from a couple of weeks to up to 2 years. It all depended upon the circumstance of the breakup and how busy I was. The 2 year thing was when I was in graduate school and had absolutely no time for dating. This was the period when I used prostitutes or strippers mainly for sexual gratification and didn't put any emotional time in. A couple of weeks was right after this period when the girl I was dating went nuts on me (she was manic depressive), and I met my wife 2 weeks after we broke up.
