Dating doesn't mean you have to have meaningless sex. R's would be far less complicated if two people actually took the proper time to *really* get to know one another before sex is added in the mix.

Sex is wonderful but it can also complicate things. I am of the opinion a post divorce R needs to have as few complications as possible. Some complications you can't control but sex isn't one of them.

It's all very personal and everybody is looking for something different. For me, I would never have sex before I was divorced. I would never have sex w/somebody who is not divorced.

But dating doesn't have to mean sex (to me anyhow). A few dates is nothing more than two people spending time to see if they want to get to know each other on a deeper level. Nothing more, nothing less.
