If she is into you, it was "meant to be", if not she will term you a "rebound". There really is no downside to going for it unless you care about the aforementioned categories.

The same way the "Friend Zone" was invented by emotionally fragile guys who want to be able to delude themselves into thinking a girl who isn't into them would have been slobbering all over their cock if they had mentioned it earlier.

No harm in spending time with her, have a good time together and make her forget about the ex.
Might want to take it slow, but keep her close, show her that there are nice guys out there, case in point: you.

since the consensus is going against me here (I still say be patient), and you seemed to be down for the rush on in theory, curious how it panned out for you man...

I'm currently watching someone "rush" (as in, he asked her out the day she broke up with her boyfriend) into a relationship and so far everything is turning out fine. At first she was being weird about it, worried about it being too soon. But then she realized that she liked him, and not going out with him because she "wanted to be single for a bit" was stupid when faced with the prospect of having a healthy relationship handed to her immediately. The weirdness only lasted like a week.

is a bit of fiction created by a woman to let a dude down easily. Ironically, she started to believe her own fiction.

Depending on how long they were going out, i'd leave it for a while. If she was in a serious relationship i.e. longer than 8 months or so, i'd leave her for at least a month. If it was a real long one (2 years or so) i'd leave it for 2-3 months.

however if the relationship wasn't that serious, all bets are off. just go for it.
