No, you're not ready to date yet.
But let me just tell you...it was hard for me to picture being with another man after 26 years with my ex. But I quickly found myself with some delightful men who were sexy, wise, and comforting. It took me a few years to find the guy I'm with now, but ALL the men I dated before stay in touch and make it clear that I have a special place in their hearts. (They were all unavailable for one reason or another....an unconscious choice on my part, I'm sure...but I don't regret any of them.)

Oh...and I met all but one of them online!
