As long as you're not going to ignore the pet when you find a new relationship. Pets are a commitment and a responsibility, not a toy you can toss away when you're bored.

Get a pet if you are interested in spending time with the pet. Otherwise, don't get one.

Ya I am interested in spending time with the pet. I'm home a lot anyway, when I'm not at school

Yes a puppy is a great way to meet people. I would go for a cat personally less of a time commitment.

Yes, because you get to show care for another being, and you will also receive love. Just don't try to make it a substitute for what you loss.

I didn't lose anything. I've gained a lot from the relationship even though we decided to take our separate paths. The pet would be there as source of warmth and loving attention

Somehow I just don't think calling a replacement mate a pet is going to work out well at all : )

I'd never consider a past or future mate my pet.

Not if that's the only reason. But pets in general are good for those that like them.
