How long it might take you i don't know. It really depends on what you do. Don't just live normally but single. Go out and do stuff. Soon you will find you are having too much fun (or to terrified) to care about being in a relationship. I honestly didn't notice when the change happened. I was too busy.
Of course all this does not mean you will not be lonely. I get lonely from time to time. But the truth is loneliness is not bad, the people telling you it is are just trying to justify being in crap relationships. Just taking a year or two off is something that most people will never do and it is to their detriment in my opinion.
So yeah, that is it. Go out and live life without regrets. Get in shape, take risks, throw caution to the wind. And when you meet that special someone that takes your breath away the first time you see them, be honest and sincere. If it doesn't work out, oh well, move on. The scar it leaves is just a badge of honor, like any of the other awesome things you did when you were single.
Collect scars, not regrets.
