As far as a time frame for moving on from Solas goes- not everyone is extremely motivated to have sex and find a partner. Speaking OOCly for a moment, I've been single for a fair while. I wouldn't describe myself as aesexual or anything else. But for me, two months is nothing. A year isn't even that big of a deal. I don't feel compelled to hunt for another partner. If I have one, that's great. But if not, that's fine too. No pining involved, its just not that high on my motivations.
I definitely don't see my Lavellan as being in agony over the break up. She's cranky. She thought she had control of the situation and it turned out that she didn't. Her defeats are very few, but she remembers all of them. I also think she thought that the break up was temporary. She thought he got cold feet because it seemed like they were going to die. She never doubted his love for her...but then he's gone.
I'd be lying if I said a part of her wasn't hoping, or perhaps even expecting, that she'd find him again. My particular Lavellan is used to getting her way. She's used to gambling on a situation and coming out on top. In her mind, she's split between: "this is just another puzzle to solve", and "wow, love hurts. Lets not do that again."
Not only that, but she knows she failed in another capacity. She failed to see Solas for who/what he was. She isn't sure what that is. But she's fairly certain he was some sort of ancient elf. And she's fairly certain something bad happened when the orb broke. So part of her fixation is also defensive posturing. She doesn't know if she's been tricked, or if he's in some sort of trouble.
Until she has an answer to that, it would be hard for me to see her moving on. But not moving on doesn't mean she's crying herself to sleep at night.
