I agree with patience and working on yourself. I'm not sure about the dating thing for several reasons. it sounds like you'd still like to make a go of it with your wife. involving another person could end up being very messy, especially for that other person. not to mention the real possibility of using that person as a bandaid...trying to replace your w with her. the bottom line, its still early days for your separation, even though it doesn't feel like it, I'm sure.

I wonder when I will be ready for dating, personally. at least you are finding other people attractive. I have yet to find someone I want to date. I guess its just been so long since I dated someone, since i was with someone other than my H, that I'm not used to thinking in those terms yet.

part of me wishes I was ready. I almost look forward to it, to be honest. I'd like to be treated nicely again, like a desirable woman instead of someone to take for granted.

anyway, good luck.
