Cinders, I have to agree w/Mrs. H, if you are questioning it, then you aren't totally ready to date. Don't force yourself to do this, just because everyone thinks you should be doing it. You will know when you are ready.
Hope you are feeling better!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
