Help! New to this...still hoping for R

[Rusty]

Oh - too bad but sounds like fun anyway! Thank goodness for friends like that! I love fried clams also! I'll bet there are very good in your neck of the woods!
I joined a meetup.com group here locally and met a man that is very nice, not really my type, but we had a nice conversation. He left his wife after 30 years - said she was controlling and kept him in a fog to avoid problems. Life is too short, blah, blah, blah! I seem to meet men like this everywhere. As he talked I could see that I had been just like his wife to my H. It is so hard to hear it, see the product in another person and know that that is your H talking with someone else about the same thing.
He asked me out over the internet for Friday, but I told him I didn't date right now. That I was still married and didn't feel it was right to date as such. Thanked him for asking and that maybe we would see each other at another meetup event.
I feel like I should try to get out and date, but what do you all think? I know I would be so terribly uncomfortable (I did go out on three dates during this separation - and I was VERY Uncomfortable), but should I at least keep trying?
