On dating, you need to be sure of your motivation and where the need is coming from. Most LBSs feel the need to deate to be validated, and have their self-esteem soothed. Terrible reasons to date. Dating is about finding a mate. So until you are ready to move on from your sitch, MR, and W dating would be inappropriate.
Lots of LBSs are dishonest with themselves about the dating issue. No I just need to move on, and this will help. Etc. The truth is sometimes we are addicted to the feeling of being wanted and needed. And then there are those who insist they have to have their "sexual" needs met. All a bunch of hogwash based on feelings and wants, not needs and science.
So start dating when you are truly ready to move on with your life, and not until.
