You don't need to date, but it is good to build your social circle. I have gone and had coffee with a few women. I am in no hurry to start any new romantic relationship and I make that very well known, but it is very nice to meet new and nice people. So far I have met three women that are really nice people. I told every single one of them of my situation and that at this point in time I am just making new friends PERIOD. All of them have accepted that and arent pursuing me in anyway beyond just being friendly and chit chatting. Its nice.
I agree completely, and have been doing so. I'm going out all the time, and have activities out of the house more days/nights than not. Meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends. I do interact with men, but most of those I know are married. They know my sitch, and are supportive. GAL has been truly a blessing!
