First off, a bit off subject. I think the live together as friends idea is a bad one. It will just make it harder for either of you to move on.
When to start dating again, I think, really depends on the situation. There are a lot of things to take into account. I've had relationships that lasted a few months and when they were over I was instantly ready to move on. Then I've had relationships that were longer and had a bigger impact on my life and definitely took a lot longer to get over.
For example, the longest relationship I've ever been in lasted three years. When it was over I realized I was completely dependent, and felt I needed to have a relationship in my life or else I couldn't function. I realized I had to get over that and become independent before I could have a healthy relationship with any body.
It took over a year for me to start dating again. It just really depends on how your life has been impacted.
