Personally I don't believe in dating until you are no longer married. It wouldn't be fair to the other person or yourself. It takes time to heal. Each person is different.
I have had a couple of false starts but each one taught me about myself. I did decide that I needed to get myself and my kids to a better place before I even thought about dating again. It has been nearly 5 years since the divorce. I was married 19 years.
