I don't think there is a standard set period of time to wait to start dating. I think that factors effecting that decision are how long have you truly been detached from your eX and how long have you already been separated from them and on your own. I have been living separate from my STBXW for more than a year now and if my divorce was over tomorrow, I would most likely start dating fairly quickly. I have actually already gone out on a few meet and greets but nothing too serious, at least not on my end.
