You are not nearly ready to date. You have a lot more of healing/growing to do and entangling yourself emotionally will only complicate things further for you. You are still broken, make no mistake about it. And broken attracts broken. Do you really want to be responsible for wrecking havoc on another human being, with false promises? So put the dating thing on the back burner. I understand you, you want to feel like a man again, you want to feel warm soft skin against you, you want to be desired sexually again. You might get laid, but the horrible feeling of loneliness will not go away.
