CTH - If you still have feelings for w, still want the possibility of R with her, then you can not date. That has the potential of bringing a 3rd person into your R and a M can not be R'd with a 3rd person there. Also, you have to face the potential of hurting another person because you still have feelings for w. Even after D, a person should not get involved in a relationship if their feelings for the ex-spouse are not resolved.
No one says you can't go out and have fun with others, but make them others of the same sex. You aren't closing a door to possibly having a SO in the future, you are helping yourself come to terms with your own feelings in a safe environment. Go out with male friends, have a blast! No women.
