I want to know if I should try to start dating? Would that help me mentally or just cause confusion in me?
I started dating about 9 months after BD, I thought I was ready but I wasn't. It was very difficult emotionally. In retrospect I think I should have waited another 6 months or so. It definitely does not help you cope with things, you've really got to heal first before you start dating.

She says she wants me to date. She wants me to be happy and to find someone who can give me what she can’t.
They all say that. But that is just to assuage their guilt because what they really want is to date whoever they want while you sit at home pining away for them. If she says this to you again then just reply "Thank you for your concern but I will determine when the time is right for that."
