Hang in there. I often look at things with imagery because it makes more sense in my mind. When you have a 40 year old car, there are dents and dings in it, things that have gone unfixed for years. You can either do a quick touch up and paint job to flip it ... or you can do a full chasis restore. Its really your choice but I would really lean towards the full restore .. .you end up with a much finer automobile and a sense of accomplishment in the long run, and lets face it ... the thing is in the shop anways might as well just do the work.
As far as dating, I dipped a pinkie toe in, I was ready to move on and try it out but after being allowed to swim in the big kids pool, I realized I really wanted to sit on the beach a bit more, work on my tan. Its a personal choice and one people here can debate the pro's and con's for a bit ... ultimately its your choice. Looking at your time line, its gone pretty fast so I would suspect your emotions are still going to try to catch up with it all ... again .. normal and part of this.
