Hi there, I would echo what wise Peace has already said - far better to wait when it comes to dating. Looking back I can see that guys I may have been interested in the early days after BD would have been a disaster. As time has gone on, and I have moved forward myself, I attract guys who are in a better place themselves.

I've been on the forum for a while, and I have never once seen anyone post - hey, I waited a little too long before dating. There is no 'too long' but there certainly is 'too short.' I think it is healthy to wait at least until divorce - and until the dust has settled after divorce too - I waited until a year after divorce before opening that door. Others date sooner and don't seem to have regrets..

As for the advice from your DB coach - I would follow it as those guys know what they are talking about. And you can do so kindly as you say.

Good luck with everything - it sounds like you are doing pretty well, given all circumstances smile
