The people that are telling you to date, have they been divorced? Do they understand all the mixed emotions that one has to work through? Do they understand that if you aren't in a solid place, feeling comfortable alone in your own skin that you are not in a place to be with someone else?
Almost every post is about finding someone or ex. You need to get to where you don't feel the NEED to be with someone. You are fine meeting friends, going out alone. No thought of a lady beside you...just you. Once you get to that point then you can start to think about dating. You attract who you are...think about the lady you just stopped seeing. Can't you see, she wasn't ready to date? She is still seeking validation outside of herself.
I hope you will take some time and think about what I've said.
