I always do that after major break ups. Now after 6 months, I'm getting in the mood again - but still working on myself first and foremost (and I have tons of things to sort out still)... So if anything comes, fine, if not - screw it I have tons of things to do anyway.

I kind of do this just as a normal thing. I've never been the type to actively go seek relationships or dates. They just kind of come around randomly and I do my own thing during the "sabbatical".

I would do it.

I'm 29 and have never had a boyfriend, but am thinking I may need to do this myself. I got myself stuck in a year long "situationship" with a co-worker that I was head over heels for. We just were in the talking stage, never went on a date or hung out, but I fell for him really hard. I heard through the grapevine at work that he was thinking of asking someone out. Long story short, in the end he decided he didn't want to date me and he had either found someone else he liked better or wanted to find someone he liked better. I don't know his exact reasoning for reaching that decision. I've heard him talking to a lot of his buddies at work about him deciding not to date me, and from what I've overheard it sounds like his decision is all based on something that happened a few weeks prior, which if he would listen to me, turns out to be a misunderstanding. But he won't talk to me and tell me whats going on so I can explain anything to him. I'm kind of grasping at straws based on what I hear from "talk". It kills me because practically everyone in the workplace (I don't know about his buddies) thought that I was perfect for him and that he's making a mistake. Never having a boyfriend and this being the one guy I actually would have said yes to dating, just adds insult to injury.
