This is something I've put some thought into - I see it like this.

1) You would be dating for the wrong reasons. You feel an absence; a loss. You probably want to fill that emotional space with someone.

2) What happens if you date someone, then your girlfriend wants to try again? You're going to be in a position where you either have to break it off with whomever you are dating, or you would you move on without your girlfriend?

3) It goes without saying that a relationship with three people in it is going to end up with more people getting hurt than the two who are involved already.

Personally, I believe dating and DBing are mutually exclusive. You can't be invested in a relationship and working towards repairing it if you are out there looking for someone else.
