I've struggled with this thought of dating as well Crimson. I've realized that I'm not ready but their are some things that I know I would enjoy and wish I was able to experience.
I have read a few sitch's where it seemed that finding another woman or dating may have been the catalyst to bring back their WAW but that seems inauthentic and manipulative to me so as of now I am holding off.
It may bring some benefits but it also will bring added stress and who knows what other issues and right now I have enough of that.
