If I could condense DBing to a catch phrase, that's what it would be.
People here have different advice on the timeline for starting to date and get involved with someone else. Just make sure you don't end up using another person and their feelings for your own gain. It would not be fair to the other person. You already know all of this, but I am just vocalizing my thoughts.
Live your life man. If I was in a place to date right now, I would totally do it.
