I thought of a few things to add since my post. By detach, don't try to drag out convo's. Even as much as it seems to be about the kids or something important. They sense that you just want to keep them on the phone. No unnecessary contact. I didn't truly detach and realize it until I was preoccupied with my new interest.

As far as dating, I thought I was ready. Everything happened so easily. Then when a convo like Tuesday came around, I realized that even though I was by myself for over a year, there's no time frame on this process. I got reeled right back in even though I'm am happy with where life was going. Only you will know when it's time, and even if you feel it is, wait a bit longer...
