This is going to be a highly contested post on this board but the suggestion was go out and date. Now before everyone hangs me let me clarify, not date in a romantic way by any means but date in a friendship way. One thing that has to be clear when you go out on these dates is that you express your intentions to the other person from the get go. Express to them that you are looking to meet new friends. That you are in no way looking for anything romantic. Tell them a bit about what is going on at home. If they accept but later indicate they want more, end communication with them. As long as your intentions are clear an you tell them the truth I don’t see anything wrong with dating in this manner.
OK, I'll bite.
All you LBS's need to get you MOJO back. Going on dates is not the way to do it. There will be plenty of time for dating later. Let this door completely close before opening the next.
I believe you should focus on GAL that is in a group setting. You can safely interact with members of the opposite sex. You can practice whatever new behaviors you are implementing.
Practice new skills with everyone, in the moment. Baby steps.
If you are working on your wit, see if you can make the cashier laugh. Focus on personal growth.
If you have decided that you no longer want to be married and have finalized your divorce and want a new partner, or one night stand, or whatever, then yes start dating.
