From what I'm reading, it doesn't sound to me that you are actually emotionally ready to actively date someone new. Perhaps you should wait until you FEEL and BELIEVE that you are indeed ready. But this is just my opinion. You're a big girl and can do as you please.
You can always go out for dinner and a drink, but draw the line with yourself to not go any further than that until you are 100% certain this is what you really want to do.

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
