I broke up with my wife and about two years later she was married again. Still is married many years later. Broke up with a good gf,that within a year was married. Still is several years later. I hear of many dating the first month or two after their breakup. I would never want to date these people with much too much baggage. Every one needs time before they can move forward. But apparently there are those who are very needy. FWIW

BTW I have broken up with my daughters mother 13 years ago. I have not dated at all since that time. Only now am I interested in having a girlfriend. I still hurt some. But I need to move on with my life. Besides, out co parenting relationship works really well.
