Hey Wiley, I am sure you knew this topic could stir up some controversy...
While I agree with most of what you say I do feel like you are slightly contradicting yourself. You state that truly letting go means not worrying about whether or not your S comes back and realizing that it is okay to move on with your life. Yet you also infer that dating is a great tactic to get your partner to stand up and take notice. In other words, if you are viewing dating in this way then you can't say you have truly let go, can you?
I think the important point is that dating is a stage of letting go of what you once had and opening yourself up to new possibilities. If you are at the point in your sitch where you are still desperately trying to get your WA back then dating may not be the right thing to do as it may just complicate things. And while jealousy may be a great motivating factor intitially to get the WA to think twice it often does not make them fall "in love" again which seems to be the reason for leaving in most sitchs.
Cindy, I think the important thing is that you let go of your sitch and make yourself happy outside of the M and where it is going and if you feel you are ready to date then go for it, but in my opinion I don't think you are ready nor wanting to truly "date" yet.
