Ashley Jacobs is apparently wasting very little time getting back on the market.

In fact, not only is the Southern Charm star back on the market…

… she appears to be aggressively back on the prowl!

Just a few days after Jacob split from Thomas Ravenel – for good this time, we think – a bystander at a lounge in Charleston snapped a photo of Ashley acting all close and cozy with some brand new mystery dude.

We don’t know his name.

We don’t know how serious these two are about each other.

But we do know two things:

1. Jacobs (above) is now all smiles on Instagram, less than a week after she broke down on social media over her break-up with Ravenel.

2. She is totally touching this random dude’s butt!

This photo was shared by the website All About the Tea, which also broke the news that Jacobs appears to be dating again.

"I don’t want to comment but there are just some things I’m trying to handle privately," Ashley said in a tear-filled video last week, confirming the end of her Ravenel romance and adding:

“Before I say too much, I love Thomas and I’ll always love Thomas. I’ll always care about him."

Jacobs dated Ravenel for about a year, sticking with him even after the Bravo personality was accused of rape by two different women.

Some might call that sweet and loyal.

Others might call that misguided and insane.

After going their separate ways for like a day in early August, though, Jacobs and Ravenel finally ended their relationship after the latter finally quit Southern Charm.

He will not return for new episodes next season.

Not that this resignation was Ravenel’s way of admitting guilt, of course.

In announcing his decision, the accused rapist played the victim himself, somehow blaming producers and the show itself for how his reputation has been left in tatters.

"I’m not doing the show anymore," Ravenel confirmed last week, adding:

"In the contract they have the right to fictionalize your story. They took advantage of me.

"I decided I’ve got too much to lose and informed them I’m not coming back."

This guy sucks so much, whether or not he’s guilty of rape.

Whomever that dude whose butt you are caressing above is, Ashley, we know one thing for sure:

He’s better than Thomas.
