If you decide to go out with him, make sure he is abundantly aware of where you are and what your expectations are of the "date".
A gentleman will respect these boundaries and won't let you be tempted.
This is exactly what I did, Karen, when I began dating a year into my separation. You must always be upfront and honest with your date(s) as I'm sure you would expect the same from them.
And yes, there are still many very respectful gentlemen out there.
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
