I think there is nothing wrong with dating post D even if you are still in love with ex...
I am somewhat of a primadonna. I have this thing about being No.1 in a romantic interest's life. Years ago I broke up with a BF b/c he was still not over his GF. She was still No. 1 and trumped me in the R - interfered with my desire to be treated like a princess in an R.
I would question the self esteem of a woman that was willing to date a man that was in love with someone else or that could possibly go back to his W. Sounds to me like the man wants to have his cake and eat it too. It is selfish b/c he is focusing on his own needs with a complete disregard for hers. People are very predictable - it is an indicator of how he will view my needs if the R were to progress. Not interested in that type of R.
AG,
I should have written "casually date."
