Meeting new people is great. Why does that have to include dating?
I would think a lot about what you said about dating to help you cope and detach from your W. Hmmm. That sounds like a red flag to me. We can't expect someone else to make us happy. Do you have an IC? That is probably who you should turn to for help with coping and detaching...
Do you feel like you are in a position to be an equal, healthy partner in a new relationship? How would you explain your MR status? ("Well, I'm separated, but I still kinda hope she will come back to me, but in the meantime I want to see who else is out there and have some fun.)
I mean, only you can decide what to do, and i am not here to judge. But I think the purpose of DB is to take a good, hard look at yourself. And this question seems like a perfect time to do that.
