Mink, then go out with a woman friend, once you label it a date then all that dating can mean ensues, you are opening up a can of worms that may backfire on you. I spend time with a woman friend every two weeks or so, we usually take our kids and do something together, the odd time we have dinner together without them. It's nice and we've been friends for years but it's not a DATE. I know you're frustrated, feeling unwanted and a little validation feels pretty good right now but I'd advice validating yourself versus putting someone else in a position that creates a lot of boundary issues that won't be talked about and therefore will be left to the imagination of both of you. It's something I would avoid right now unless you are done with W. You're not done, you're just tired and discouraged right now. That's my 2 cents for what it's worth!
