Keep on going

brknheart,
Sorry to her your D is final. Sorry the X still rents space in your head whether conscious (wondering) or unconscious (dreaming). It takes time. For me the dreaming took longer to abate than the day-to-day curiosity.

I met someone a couple weeks ago, thought about asking her out but Im not sure if im ready to play "dating game" again.

Then you're probably not.

I'm a couple of months behind and I'm curious as to how your brain changes once the process is over.

Not to be blunt, CTH, but the process isn't over when the papers are signed and the D is final. Not by a long shot.

if you are not sure about dating, don't, do yourself and the girl a favor

Excellent point, cat. There's another person, heart, and feelings to be considered when one isn't sure if one is ready. And this:

You'll know you are ready when you don't think you need anyone.

is the definitive word on dating again. Just perfect.

You're still in a rough period, brknheart. In many ways tougher than your life sitch before the divorce. Give yourself time. Lots of it. For everything.
