I think it depends on you! Spending time with someone because you geniunely want the company and are not desperate to replace your loss, can be healthy. If you're wanting to go out to validate yourself through being with another, that's not so good! Often we over estimate our place on the wellness scale and fool ourselves into believing we're where we want to be. Only you can know where you fit. It sounds like you've had some enjoyable, relaxed dates so I guess you test the waters and see how it goes. Everybody's different! Good luck with it. Btw, when the papers are signed you may have some unexpected feelings. I've often read here about people finding it hard when the papers are finally signed. Just be ready if it happens.
