I think it's important to realize that you'll never feel "ready". But, almost ready is what you want. I think when you start imagining yourself with someone, enjoying companionship and missing that then you're ready to dip. It's scary though! Especially when you've been betrayed. How can I ever trust again? How do I know someone is good for me? What if I'm messing up again? The anxiety is all there but nothing in life is certainty...NOTHING! A few coffee dates or dinners will tell you whether you're ready or not. If not, don't sweat it. We each have our own timetables. I waited about four years. The first couple of years I just wanted to stay sane and make sure my kids got through it. That was priority. So, if you're done with that and want to give it a try then go for it. Just remember you'll never feel "ready"!
