This answer will be different for everyone. I think once you are comfortable with knowing how to be alone again you are ready to date someone else. It's like hitting a reset button to make sure you are not just rebounding.

You should wait until your partner has either been acting suspicious, or no longer to proceed to love you anymore, or you should tell he/she we should see other people, and try to avoid the tears and pain, but if you wanna go through stages of heartbreak i suppose you tell your spouse.

There really is no specific time you have to wait to date someone. Whenever you feel most comfortable and ready is a good time :)

This is a question that only you will have the answers to. I personally feel like it's best for you not to jump into a new relationship right after you just got out of another one. Everyone's predicament is not the same when it comes to a breakup. Also it just depends on how long you were with your previous partner. Just listen to what your heart is telling you and if it's sending you mixed signals then take some time to work on finding yourself and trying to figure out when it's best for you to move forward with someone else.

Theres no time limit to how long someone needs to wait. but to be absolutely fair to the next person you are going to date, here are a few tips: make sure you are over the previous person as much as you need to be so that they a) never come up in conversations and b) dont project the past relationship on to the new person. Make yourself a checklist of look fors and dont wants, if you have more checks on the look for sides and bonus points for the ones you hadnt thought of thats the right person

There is no set date. When you feel ready is the right time. Society tries to give us deadlines or time minimums but there is no such thing. When you feel ready and when the right person comes along, it will just fit together like a puzzle piece. keep your head up high kid, it'll all be okay.

There are no generic waiting times on when to date someone after a relationship. The is up to you and YOU alone. Only you can determine if you're ready. Have you healed from the last relationship? Are you dating to fill the void caused by the recent breakup? You need to consider what emotional state you're in before you open the door to your heart.

The time varies for every person. You should take some time to think about what happened. When you feel that you have gotten over your last partner, you can move on.
