Every guy I've talked to said they dated too soon after D. But maybe it's part of the process of getting to a better place, as long as I'm not trying to "use" anyone along the way.
I don't think I dated too soon, but I do think I dated too much. Everyone will tell you to slow down, do this, do that, but there are some things you just need to figure out for yourself. As Rod Stewart said "you have to learn, just like me, and that's the hardest way"
I will say that I had a major fear prior to D that I wouldn't be able to find anyone to date -- not because there would be no one available, but because I wouldn't be able to find anyone who would be as well matched to me as W was. Everyone told me dating would be no problem but I didn't believe them.
Dating was no problem.
Take care of yourself and don't borrow trouble from the future, you've got enough to deal with today!
