Sotto- you sound strong my friend. Glad to feel that strength and peace. You inspire me since we have much in common. 16 months since BD and 15 since he's been in town. We hardly talk and he doesn't reach out often to our girls either.
I think dating is scary BUT perhaps if an opportunity presents itself for a drink or dinner you may want to explore it. I think making a friend of the opposite sex is a good step for you. There are many people who don't want to be serious but just have someone to enjoy a new restaurant or movie with.
Anyway you get to decide - nobody else.
